The Bitcoin Boomers

“You Missed It.” Bitcoin’s Weirdest Setup Yet

Thu, 17 Sep 2026 18:00:28 GMT

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.

Larry's call: $180,000 by the end of 2027. Bob's view from inside mining: the median cost of production is in the mid $60,000s, and spot is barely above it. And for anyone still waiting for $50,000 — Larry has a two-word answer.

Plus: the fourth Boomer joins us from an elk camp in Colorado.

00:00 Give up. You missed it.

What Actually Backs Bitcoin?

Thu, 10 Sep 2026 18:00:28 GMT

"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.

Lightning-round episode: taxes, hashrate, gold vs Bitcoin, the 50% drawdown rule, estate planning without losing your keys, and one bonus question that gets a very honest answer. Larry Lepard, Bob Burnett, and George Bodine hold the couch — Gary Leland sits this one out (he'll be back).

I Was Wrong About Coldcard. And BIP110 Failed.

Thu, 03 Sep 2026 18:00:28 GMT

George Bodine recommended Coldcard on this show. Then the firmware flaw hit, and he got on the phone. In this episode he apologizes on camera, walks through moving his own funds, and the Boomers dig into what the incident really teaches about self-custody, trade-offs, and trust. Then, for the first time, George addresses BIP110's failure head-on: what went wrong, who's stepped away, and what it means to lose a battle without going home.

The Fed Is Trapped. Bitcoin Won’t Stay Here.

Thu, 27 Aug 2026 18:00:28 GMT

The Treasury Secretary said "whatever it takes" for the yen. The Fed has a facility that can hand Japan $60 billion with a keystroke, and Bessent says it might not be enough. Larry Lepard walks through what FIMA is, why gold moved 7% in three days, why gold stocks had their biggest week in 18 years, and why he thinks Wall Street still doesn't understand that they can never stop printing.

Also: the 10 year red line, yield curve control, Silicon Valley Bank as a preview of a phase change, why the ETF holders aren't the paper hands everyone expected, and Larry's number for the next high.

Bob Burnett and George Bodine ask the questions. Gary Leland is on vacation. He will be back in the future.

Coldcard Had One Job

Thu, 20 Aug 2026 18:00:28 GMT

George Bodine woke up at 5am, saw the Coldcard news, and drove through the dark with shaking hands to move his Bitcoin before someone else could. He made it. Others lost everything.

In the August episode, Bob Burnett, Larry Lepard, and George Bodine break down what actually went wrong inside Coldcard — the "one in a quadrillion" collisions their own support line saw, why the seed phrases were hiding in a drop of water instead of the universe, and what a former fighter pilot's checklist discipline looks like when your stack is on the line.

Then: the BIP110 chain split is real. Bob explains why Barefoot Mining stopped signaling in June, what the four-block fork means, why the next upgrade will need exchanges, treasuries, and Wall Street to agree — and what to do if you get airdropped the fork coin.

Self-custody was the whole point. Is it still?

Not financial advice. Do your own research.

What is The Difference Between Bitcoin and Trump Coin?

Thu, 13 Aug 2026 18:00:29 GMT

What happens to your Bitcoin when you die? Can the government freeze or seize it? Could quantum computers break Bitcoin? And why is Bitcoin down while stocks are sitting near record highs?

In this episode of The Bitcoin Boomers, Larry Lepard, Bob Burnett and George break down five of the biggest questions Bitcoin holders are asking right now.

They dig into self-custody, multisig, inheritance planning, wrench attacks, AI-powered social engineering, Executive Order 6102, government confiscation risk, Bitcoin mining, non-KYC Bitcoin, quantum computing, Bitcoin’s relationship to global liquidity, the current drawdown, long-term holder capitulation, and why Bitcoin should never be confused with the broader crypto industry.

They also tackle a much bigger question:

What actually makes Bitcoin worth protecting?

From the invention of digital scarcity to a monetary network that no government, CEO or company controls, this conversation gets to the heart of why Bitcoin is fundamentally different.

00:00 The five questions

00:44 Q1: What happens to my Bitcoin when I die?

02:05 A word from Swan

02:38 Wrench attacks, AI scams, and multi-sig

07:28 Q2: Can the government take or freeze my Bitcoin?

08:25 Executive Order 6102, the 1933 precedent

14:20 A word from Sazmining: The Hash Stash

14:48 Mining non-KYC Bitcoin

16:33 Q3: Will quantum computers break Bitcoin?

20:23 Q4: Why is Bitcoin down while stocks are at highs?

24:04 A word from Ledn

25:04 Q5: $10,000 in Trump coin vs Bitcoin

Topics include:

• What happens to your Bitcoin when you die

• Self-custody, multisig and inheritance

• Can the government seize Bitcoin?

• Executive Order 6102 and the history of gold confiscation

• Why counterparty risk matters

• Mining Bitcoin directly

• Quantum computing and Bitcoin security

• Why Bitcoin is lagging stocks

• Bitcoin and global liquidity

• Why the current drawdown may represent opportunity

• Bitcoin vs. Trump Coin and the broader crypto market

• Why Bitcoin is a “zero-to-one” monetary invention

They've Got To Beat the 12 Words Out of Us

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 18:00:29 GMT

Bitcoin is the final exit. The escape hatch. The parachute at the end of the ride.

George came back from Prague with a changed thesis, and this episode gets back to Bitcoin basics: money in self-custody that no one can stop. Larry breaks down why the third big print is coming and what a slow-motion currency failure actually looks like. Bob opens the books on the miners trilemma and why the hardest conditions in mining history are flashing the same signal as the last great bottom: whenever the money is hard, that's when you go in.

Also on the table: the shiny object syndrome draining capital into AI, why sentiment is the worst the boomers have ever seen while every metric screams value zone, paper Bitcoin and the ghost of Sam Bankman-Fried, BIP110 and the three and a half weeks until the chain decides, and why Kevin Warsh is just the modern-day Von Havenstein.

Bitcoin Mining Just Changed Forever

Thu, 30 Jul 2026 18:00:28 GMT

Are Bitcoin miners abandoning Bitcoin for AI? Is Bitcoin's fee market broken? And did Michael Saylor get this one wrong?

In this episode of Bitcoin Boomers, Bob Burnett, Larry Lepard, and George Bodine dive into one of the biggest debates facing Bitcoin in 2026.

Public mining companies are pivoting toward AI infrastructure, hash rate is declining for the first time in Bitcoin history, BIP-110 has ignited fierce discussion throughout the ecosystem, and the future of Bitcoin mining may look nothing like what we've assumed.

If you care about Bitcoin's long-term security, mining economics, decentralization, or the future of block space, this is one conversation you don't want to miss.

The Fed's New Chairman Is Lying To You

Sat, 18 Jul 2026 18:00:28 GMT

The new Fed Chairman says inflation will be a thing of the past.

Larry Lepard, Bob Burnett, and George Bodine explain why that's the most sophisticated lie in finance, and why the three assets the government can't print are about to come back with a vengeance.

Recorded July 14, 2026, as Kevin Warsh delivered his Humphrey-Hawkins testimony live.

In this episode: the Warsh playbook and "foaming the runway," why the Phillips curve is dead at the Fed, the Big Mac Index vs CPI, M2 growth vs the official inflation numbers, the AI capex arms race and why it guarantees liquidity, Hank Paulson's warning about the bond market, Japan's carry trade cracking, the power law model and why this drawdown looks like fall 2022, the Amazon parallel, and why you're not too late.

Is It Too Late to Buy Bitcoin? Top 5 Questions Everyone Over 40 Is Asking

Tue, 23 Jun 2026 20:53:03 GMT

Your financial advisor says no. Your kids say yes. And Bitcoin already went from pennies to $100,000, so you figure you missed it.

Sound familiar? These five questions come up more than any others, so Larry, Gary, and Bob sat down and answered them, together.

The Top 5 Most-Asked Bitcoin Questions:

My financial advisor told me not to buy Bitcoin. Should I listen to them?

I don't understand the technology. How can I invest in something I don't understand?

What if the government bans Bitcoin?

My kids keep telling me to buy Bitcoin. Since when do I take financial advice from my children?

I missed it. Bitcoin already went from nothing to $100,000. Am I too late?

You'll also hear why your advisor makes NO commission by recommending Bitcoin

and the one mistake that makes new buyers sell at the worst possible time.

Sun, 26 Apr 2026 12:00:28 GMT

Three Bitcoin Boomers, one stage, no script. Recorded live at BitBlockBoom 2026 in Fort Worth on April 11.

Adam O'Brien of Bitcoin Well sits down with Lawrence Lepard, Bob Burnett of Barefoot Mining, and George Bodine for an hour of honest talk aimed at the millennials and Gen Z in the room.

What you'll hear:

What each of them wishes they knew in their 30s, and what their wives and kids actually remember about the decisions they made along the way.

Larry on pattern recognition, why he sold Microsoft too early, and why he won't make that same mistake with Bitcoin.

Bob on the 60 day retirement that didn't take, why purpose comes after financial independence, and the real reason he keeps showing up.

George on the Chisholm Trail, why you can't print cattle, and what the boomers learned about hard assets that millennials are about to relearn the hard way.

The compound math on Bitcoin returns and why leverage keeps killing young Bitcoiners.

Why Larry stopped giving people his book and started handing out The Mandibles instead.

Paper Bitcoin, the GSIB that's going to get blown up, and what George says is the only real defense.

QE on Steroids, Bitcoin Business Revolution, Public Miner Doom | Gary Cardone

Mon, 29 Dec 2025 01:22:31 GMT

Gary Cardone (energy veteran, fintech pioneer, and acclaimed artist) joins Larry Lepard, Bob Burnett, and Gary Leland for a no-holds-barred Bitcoin Boomers episode that exposes the fiat system's soul-crushing traps and Bitcoin's path to ultimate freedom. From the opening salvo, Gary drops bombs: "Bitcoin is the primary business without an HR department," freeing him from "dumb meetings about dumb subjects" to pursue art and self-discovery.

The crew dismantles fiat's "treadmill" (Larry: "The only thing more limited than Bitcoin is your time—and Bitcoin gives it back"), warns of ethical "prostitution" in corporate ladders, and reveals how creatives spot Bitcoin's magic first by thinking outside the box. Bob slams public miners' impending doom amid 2025's $8.6B M&A frenzy and harsh margins, while championing decentralized energy "sinkholes" for wasted power.

Larry's prescient "big print" prophecy hits home as the Fed ended QT in December 2025, restarting QE with $40B/month Treasury buys amid liquidity strains—fueling Bitcoin's hedge role despite its dip to ~$87K from $126K highs. They debate deflationary shocks from immigration policies, why success isn't chasing dollars (Gary: "Even billionaires don't get freedom"), and raw advice for young stackers: ditch consumerism, seek mentors, pay yourself first with 10% in BTC for compounding magic.This is the orange-pill blueprint for boomers and millennials alike—escape fiat's rat race before the next debasement wave.

If you're tired of quarterly BS and ready for Bitcoin's no-HR revolution, hit play now.
