More from The Bitcoin Boomers
did the CIA invent bitcoin? bob burnett says it doesn't matter and explains why. george bodine, who held a top secret clearance and loaded nuclear weapons on hornets, explains why a secret that big doesn't stay secret. gary leland has a theory about gavin newsom.
Gary Leland wants to be the first person to live to 200. larry lepard thinks he's nuts. bob burnett explains why your life insurance policy gives up at 121 and what happens if you don't.
Bob Burnett was named executive chairman of Ocean on September 1st, three days after Luke Dashjr resigned. In this episode he explains what actually happened, why he thinks the BIP-110 push was never going to work, and why he doesn't think the people behind it are villains.
Larry Lepard, Bob Burnett and Gary Leland on the September move: Bitcoin caught air off 62 and ran to 81 before settling near 77, the Fed's rate decision, Treasury buybacks tripling to $6 billion, and why half the people mining Bitcoin are probably losing money right now.
"Not today you don't." The Boomers open with the question every holder secretly googles — do you owe taxes on Bitcoin you never sold? — and the answer detours through gold teeth, seventeen nuclear aircraft carriers, and Larry calmly explaining why he thinks this asset goes to a million dollars… then ten. Bob puts a number on the network nobody can picture (900 exahashes — more raw computation than every supercomputer on Earth combined), George explains why that's "the magic of Bitcoin," and then the fork question lands: what actually happened at block 961,632 when BIP-110 tried to split the chain — and why one side kept mining forever while the other managed two blocks.
