The Bitcoin Boomers

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.

Gary Leland, Bob Burnett, and Larry Lepard sit down with Joe Kelly, CEO of Unchained, and surprise guest Terrence Michael of The Bitcoin Advisor to break down how scammers are targeting Bitcoin holders right now and what you can actually do about it.

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. Key Topics: Bitcoin as the ultimate freedom machine from fiat drudgery Why creatives embrace Bitcoin faster than suits Ditching "dumb meetings" and HR nightmares for self-fulfillment Fiat's ethical traps: "Prostitution" in corporate climbing

The big print on steroids: Fed's 2025 QE restart and Bitcoin's explosion potential Public miners' doom: 2025 M&A wave, inefficiencies, and AI bailouts Decentralized mining's future: Energy "sinkholes" for zero-cost production Deflationary shocks ahead: Immigration, peak consumption, and opportunity Young guns guide: Mentors over MBAs, 10% savings in BTC, ditch the Rolls Compounding's wonders: From acorns to oak trees in a Bitcoin world

Chapters: 00:00:00 Cold Open – Bitcoin Gives Back Your Time 00:00:44 Welcome Gary Cardone & Artistic Bitcoiners 00:01:17 Creatives in Bitcoin: Art, Music, Writing 00:01:57 Bitcoin as No-HR Business Model 00:02:23 Freedom from Dumb Meetings & Self-Discovery 00:03:25 Creatives See Bitcoin Quicker – Outside the Box 00:04:25 Bitcoin's Gift: Defining Who You Are 00:04:53 Escaping the Fiat Treadmill 00:05:40 Amplifying Time & Ego in Success 00:06:36 Art Over Building at This Stage 00:06:55 2020 Entry Still Early – Buying at $90K 00:07:33 Frustrating Year But Gift of Time 00:07:58 Fiat Sucks You Back – Builder Mentality 00:08:11 Math of Bitcoin vs. Business Returns 00:09:21 Liquidity Without Hooks in Bitcoin 00:09:42 Gateway CTO: Nightmare of Endless Meetings 00:10:35 Public Mining Decision – Freedom Over Dollars 00:10:59 Serving Bitcoin as Citizen vs. Public CEO 00:11:16 Money Plateaus – Freedom is True Wealth
