Interestingly when I was reading up on when governments have tried more Libertarian ideas, NZ in the 80s and 90s was a case study I found.

Yep, though I don't think sound money stops all war, I think it just reduces it massively.


Yep, I am working on some ideas on how to fix it but it certainly isn't easy. I keep coming back to Libertarian ideas and balancing the budget. These are non popular ideas though as it means removing public services, but the only other option is continuing with the mess we are in.


None, I only use AI to research and improve spelling and grammar. All the arguments are mine.


I wrote a blog article.

Something I posted on Twitter but I would be interested in perspectives here. I am not trying to be dramatic or undermine the true horrors of socialism, it is just how it feels.

"When calling the current government socialist, there are those who will laugh at the idea this because it doesn't meet the true definition of socialism, you know, whereby the state owns industry, blah blah blah.

This is why I call it the "New Face of Socialism" as the outcome is the same. If you are a business owner in the UK you are essentially a slave to government as high taxes and massive regulation reflect the same principles of socialism-wealth redistribution and centralised control of society.

If it helps, we can call it"Bureaucratic Socialism" or "Backdoor Socialism"...whatever you need to justify you voted in a bunch of commies. Life is so much easier if you admit you fucked up.

This is a hill I will die on...reject them all!"


My full quote to Politico regarding Satoshi and the HBO doc…
“For years, there's been endless speculation about the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, both in print and in media. Yet, until someone signs the private keys linked to Satoshi’s addresses, all of this remains mere conjecture.

Satoshi gave the world a profound gift in Bitcoin but deliberately chose to remain anonymous—a decision that must be respected. Efforts to unmask them are not just irresponsible but potentially dangerous.

Satoshi left the project early, and since then, countless others have contributed far more to Bitcoin’s evolution. Satoshi is no longer just one person; Satoshi is now everyone who works to restore a sound, incorruptible money standard for the world. We are all Satoshi.”

New show, same feed, evolution homie


The studio is ready, Danny's flights are booked, and next week we’ll begin recording episodes for our new podcast.

I wanted to share the reasons behind this shift as many have been asking. Three primary factors influenced this decision:
1. I hate making remote shows—I never want to do them again. These interviews need the intimacy of being in person.
2. Traveling constantly has been detrimental to my health and my family.
3. My commitments here with the football club and local community are growing.

So, the solution was clear: build a studio in the UK and produce the show locally.

We’ve secured a fantastic space in Soho, London, and we’re ready to go but given the limited number of Bitcoin guests available in the UK or those willing to fly in, it’s time to retire What Bitcoin Did.

Our new podcast will be similar in feel but will cover a broader range of topics. While some episodes will focus on Bitcoin (though less frequently), most will explore other interesting topics or people.

Having made nearly 900 episodes covering a wide range of #bitcoin topics and guests, we’re now aiming higher. By diversifying our content and guests, we hope to introduce more people to the concept of sound money through podcast osmosis. If we get this right, it will be a bigger show, if we get it wrong, well we tried.

For a long time I have felt there is a need to get out of the #bitcoin corner of the party. Real Bedford FC was a way of integrating sound money into a traditional business model. CheatCode purposely did not include Bitcoin in the title, so changing the show feels like a natural next step.

Sometimes when stuck in the #bitcoin landscape you can lose site of how other people in the world think, lose empathy for the complexities of the world. I have felt this. I'd come home from spending two weeks with Bitcoiners and be with friends and family locally and notice a distinct difference in how we see the world. As everything feels like it is going to shit, I feel like there is a bigger job to do now.

The Bitcoin podcast landscape is well served, from Marty and Odell to Natalie and Preston, from The Blue Collar guys to Stefan Livera and anyone I haven't mentioned. There’s no shortage of high-quality Bitcoin podcasts.

However, there seems to be some fatigue in the space, with similar guests and topics being revisited. With our new show we want to bring fresh perspectives and ideas, aligning with sound money where relevant—think of the shows we’ve had with the likes of Eric Weinstein and Michael Malice.

On a personal note, I’m need the challenge, test myself wider, get fit and find a good woman. I can't do this travelling all the time.

When I started the podcast my life was a shit show - divorced, coming off drugs, heading towards bankruptcy. I've had an incredible 7 years, travelled the world, made amazing friends and got to live my dream by buying my local football club.

To everyone who has helped us get this far - the guests, the listeners, the sponsors, we could not have done this without you. I am forever in your debt.

I hope you’ll check out the new show and enjoy it, though it may not be for some of you. Regardless, Danny and I will work hard to deliver the best show possible, like we always have.

Roll on The McCormack Show!

Alright there loser 😂😂😂


I asked it endlessly and nobody gave me a good answer


Danny and I just wrapped up the final episode of What Bitcoin Did at Bitcoin Park, recording with some of our closest friends in #bitcoin - nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle  , nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx and nostr:npub10cxz2h7n6rumfpuf49zt4uvm7skzqk5u25vesp0tzdtnkvsnwjyqaffcj3, along with special appearances, including my son.

The episode will be released on August 30th. After that, we'll take a week off before launching our new show (the worst-kept secret).

After 7 years, 860 podcasts, countless flights, and visiting about 40 countries, the time is right. Time is precious. I need to travel less and focus on Bedford, the football team, family and bringing to life everything we've discussed over the past 7 years.

I believe we're entering a new era where #bitcoin is a legitimate part of every conversation. Our new show will reflect this, so we’re building a studio in London and evolving the format where #bitcoin is the heartbeat not the headline.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of this. I couldn’t have done any of this without the kindness and generosity of so many of you, especially nostr:npub16le69k9hwapnjfhz89wnzkvf96z8n6r34qqwgq0sglas3tgh7v4sp9ffxj .

Something I shared on Twitter, interested in the perspectives here too:

“I want #bitcoin  to do three things well:
1. Send
2. Receive
3. Store

Personally, I’m only interested in development which ensures #bitcoin  does these three things better, faster and more securely while maintaining maximum decentralisation.

All other use cases to me represent a grift on the #bitcoin  system from privileged people who don’t prioritise these three things highly enough.

So many people have worked so hard over the last 15 years to get #bitcoin  where it is, battles against so many powerful forces, yet #bitcoin  survived.

Now we are degrading the #bitcoin  system for non-monetary use cases.

H/t to @GrassFedBitcoin - something we discussed deeply yesterday.”

Liberal v conservative bitcoining.


Actually I had no insight with BlockFi, this was pretty evident when I said on Twitter I was going to take a loan against my Bitcoin and buy a car with the interest, then their interest rates dropped a few days later, I looked pretty stupid.

As I said, the BlockFi contract came to an end and I moved to Ledn a few months before their collapse. I was surprised as much as everyone. I had no idea or insight to FTX taking control of their funds. Luckily many of the BlockFi customers now have been given access to their Bitcoin.

You are right that it is an ad supported business, but what you don’t see are the clients we turn down and there are a lot. You wouldn’t know this, you can only jump to conclusions but I’m sorry, they are not baked in facts.

I always say I will only let clients sponsor if I would use their products. I was a happy BlockFi customer for the length of their contract with us and then I was a happy Ledn customer. Now I’m a happy Ledger customer and have been for the whole time they have sponsored the podcast.

I’m sorry you don’t like the responses but I appreciate that you still listen to my show. Have a nice day fella.


I understand people concerned about our Ledger but I have a strong relationship with them and their CEO. We speak regularly and I encourage things. I also consult with others in the industry and Ledger are both important and not going away.

The latest hack was a shitcoin thing, Ledger is a great Bitcoin wallet.


Twitter? I come here to discuss things and just find you niche people still insulting me. That’s your critical thinking?


I always try and talk to these people. I try and talk about the points at hand and they always revert to insults. It’s almost like they just want to be angry rather than work through thinks. Odd behaviour really.


Just being kind and supportive. I don’t need you as a listener, I will cope without that. I just think your arguments are weak, especially when led with insults.

Anyway I tried. Have a nice day fella.

https://youtu.be/OwcYCxUv-74?si=FxzGAzW-el1y7i4d


I’ve tried to be reasonable and engage on your points but it’s a waste of time trying to do this with someone who only comes with insults and doesn’t actually engage on the points raised.

I hope you find what you are looking for. Have a nice day.


Thanks mate. I don’t think some people understand how much we get pulled in different directions from the different political views or ideologies held. We just try and keep our platform open and help people navigate complex topics.


If you think everyone who sees the world differently from you sucks you are going to have a tough time.

It is a big complex world. People are from different ages, geographical, cultures, parents, influences. Most arrive where they are from a combination of factors.

There will be no unified thought or monoculture. What I hope is there will be less corporate media influence, separation of government and money and ways of working together better.

Have a nice day.


When people have so much hate for some they definitely have hero’s elsewhere.


Anarchy-capitalism is an ideology nobody is near. Even Milei as an anarchy-capitalist is having to increase freedom for Argentinians from within the framework of the state.

It’s fine to be idealistic but some people have to get out there and do the work. This is why I appreciate people like Dave Smith and Rand Paul, they understand and play the game but don’t change their convictions.

Most of these little angry people who shout statist this, statist that live in the most free places in the world.


Yet here I am having the conversations and here you are with “an opinion”.

As I said, plenty of your heroes agree with me.


It’s fashionable with people who have a narrow view of the world. I’m willing to bet a lot of money I’ve been to more countries and spoken to more people than them.

I’ve seen all types of governance, geography and culture. When you travel you develop a broad view rather than narrow.

Age helps too. You get older and wiser.


Yes, I have spoken to almost everyone and many of your heroes actually share the same view. Many realise this tips the scales in terms of regulatory protection and adoption.

Again thanks for listening.


The fact that you open with an insult and purposely spell my name correctly makes it hard to take you seriously.

If you grow up and want to actually do this seriously feel free to drop me a message or email. Happy to discuss my thoughts.

Either way, thanks for listening.

Just a word of advice, don’t join hate pile-ons, as you get older you’ll look back and probably be embarrassed.


I’m pro democracy because everything else is terrible. Many democratic states have fallen to dictatorships. Never seen one fall to anarcho-capitalism.

Freedom is something you fight for. If you listen to my interview with Dave Smith I align with his Libertarian views in that it is best to fight for freedom within the structure of the state.

I hate government now but I know there are things worse and evil. I honestly find the whole “statist cuck” thing boring and childish which is why it doesn’t appear in many conversations as serious.


Pretty mature response, appreciated.


Not sure, here for two days. We have a meetup tonight.

Thinking a lot about our Not Your Keys, Not Your Bitcoin and the reality that for global adoption, most people won’t be able to afford to own UTXOs and transact on the base chain.

That a high fee environment causes many issues for Lightning.

Need to know more about scaling ideas but the big question is, how can anyone who wants to use #bitcoin be fully self-sovereign and not be priced out.

Can you be fully self-sovereign without controlling a UTXO?

Is this possible? Is anyone working on this?

You really do


2, one goes direct and then four playoff for the other one


RBFC Men’s - Top of the league

They are the first “elite”, were non-league


I blame our head of media


The legend returns to McMullen Park https://image.nostr.build/1ae2c53169922907dc7a327edbb8da5b4892320fdfba0784940c40d3594055be.png


The legend returns to McMullen Park


Yep, these things are really expensive to put on. We’ve tried to balance getting the best guests in while keeping the price as low as possible.


We will host our largest conference yet on April 12th and 13th April 2024 in Bedford, UK.

With CheatCode, Danny and I are putting our spin on a #bitcoin  conference.

Day 1 - We have managed to recruit an amazing group of people to come to Bedford...Lyn Alden, Alex Gladstein, Preston Pysh, Natalie Smolenski, Jeff Booth, en Arc, Natalie Brunell, Allen Farrington, Joe Hall, Max Hillebrand, American Hodl, Matthew Mazinski, Obi Nwosu...

Day 2 - we are taking everyone to McMullen Park, the home of Real Bedford, to watch our final home game of the season, to show the community we have built and see the CheatCode in action.

Anyway, who really wants to watch panels on UTXOs after going to the pub after day 1?

Tickets available here -

I’m patient, 2025 is fine


Fuck Danny


Having nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a and Natalie Smolenski together is about as good as it gets.

I hope it stays that way.


WBD, I listen to every episode


It’s just fashionable for losers


God, remind me to avoid you at a party

Did an interview with nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s today regarding Nostr and Damus.

It was freaking great!


We just interviewed Fran Finney, the wife of Hal Finney. We discussed Hal, ALS and Running Bitcoin, the fundraiser she works on to raise money for ALS.

This interview won’t be out for a while as we will time it with the fundraiser. https://image.nostr.build/3de4023d7fa543107f8bdd1647512ee76043ad91d37151a630723b4526c28dad.jpg


A few days ago I asked you lunatics to donate #bitcoin  to Rebirth Beirut, an NGO which is turning the lights back on in Beirut, street by street.

The close to 10m sats you donated was enough to relight a street. So in this video, the street you see was dark for 3 years, tonight it is lit.

It was crazy, all the neighbours came out and were taking photos, it was a mini street party. They explained how this changes their lives.lThank you so much.

 Yalla yalla 🧡 🇱🇧 🧡 https://image.nostr.build/f015e47f357f437fae0c2c416b7b7ec33b95fcb1c59696891df22d85a339d252.jpg


Nearly 8m sats raised, this will pay for a small to medium street to have its lights switched back on…and one year of maintenance.

I love Bitcoiners https://image.nostr.build/3a9c507fd81d71c5c7e5419f6a1c74a80402befe25df9864a62eb88e2ff4936b.jpg


I’m in Lebanon orange pilling an NGO called Rebirth Beirut.

With the collapse of the energy grid they raise money to restore street and traffic lights.

Do me a solid and send some sats to this QR code to show them how badass #bitcoin  is.
