Have you heard of the government’s Nudge Unit? It’s a department that applies behavioral science to subtly influence our decisions and steer us toward actions they prefer.

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

2024-08-28 11:45:56 GMT

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!

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 - @npub1cn4…3vle , @npub1qny…95gx and @npub10cx…fcj3, 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 @npub16le…ffxj .
I'm humbled by it all and everyone of you.
Big love ✌🏻

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.”
