The Bitcoin Boomers Ep. 02: Fiat’s Final Days & AI Job Apocalypse | Larry Lepard, Dr. Bob Murphy, Bob Burnett, Gary Leland

Dr. Bob Murphy (NYU PhD, Mises Institute Senior Fellow, former Contra Krugman host) joins Bob Burnett, Larry Lepard, and Gary Leland for the most explosive Bitcoin Boomers episode yet. From the very first minutes the gloves come off: fiat’s 100-year Keynesian experiment is mathematically doomed, AI is already wiping out entry-level jobs overnight, robots are on track to rival nation-states, and deflationary technology just made debt-based money impossible to sustain. Larry drops the hammer (“the whole experiment is about to blow the fuck up — and it deserves to”), Bob Murphy calmly explains why Bitcoin proves you don’t need the state to have money, and the crew debates UBI inevitability, spend-and-replace adoption strategies, and why BlackRock & nation-states are suddenly begging for Bitcoin.

This is the red-pill episode you send to every boomer, uncle, or normie who still thinks the dollar is fine. If you want the intellectual ammo to orange-pill anyone over the holidays, this is it.

AI silently killing entry-level hiring today

Mentor Sessions Ep. 039: $8,000 for 15 Minutes – Insurance Denied It Anyway | Bitcoin-Powered Healthcare Revolution with Andy Schoonover (CrowdHealth)

Holy shit—$8,000 for a 15-minute ear surgery on his 1-year-old daughter…and insurance denied it as “medically unnecessary.” CrowdHealth CEO Andy Schoonover built the decentralized, Bitcoin-aligned alternative that’s already helped 25,000+ people dump insurance, save ~50% on every bill, fund $1M accidents, and stack sats on unused funds every month. In this BTC Sessions interview, Andy exposes the rigged game: insurance companies + hospitals BOTH profit when prices rise (medical loss ratio scam broken down), 250,000 insured families go bankrupt every year, doctors waste 16–18 hrs/week on bureaucracy, fiat healthcare now in death spiral with 18% premium spike in 2026. The Bitcoin fix: Lightning payments, direct-to-doctor cash, game-theory reciprocity (givers always get funded), and Bitcoin circularity coming for the $5.6 trillion market. From Zuckerberg’s actual house to “the Silk Road of healthcare” — this is the one that makes you cancel your insurance tomorrow.
