The Bitcoin Boomers

Bitcoin explained by people who actually lived through the crashes, the crises, and the slow bleed of a dollar that buys less every year. Bitcoin Boomers is a monthly show about Bitcoin for retirement, protecting your savings from inflation, and understanding sound money, made for investors, retirees, and wealth builders over 40 who want straight talk, not hype. Three hosts who already made their money, lost some, made it back, and figured out where Bitcoin fits. Gary Leland is a Hall of Fame podcaster and founder of BitBlockBoom, the first Bitcoin conference in the United States. Lawrence Lepard is a macro investor and author of The Big Print. Bob Burnett is the former Fortune 200 CTO of Gateway Computers and a Bitcoin mining entrepreneur. Mel Sands is creator and producer. Every episode they break down what actually moves your money: Bitcoin as sound money, inflation and lost purchasing power, retirement risk, Bitcoin mining and energy, monetary policy, debt cycles, and why the financial playbook you grew up on stopped working. If you are protecting your savings, rethinking retirement, or trying to understand the biggest money shift of your lifetime, this is the conversation for you. Plain language. No jargon. No price predictions. Subscribe, leave a review, and join the conversation.

  Coldcard Had One Job

  Aug 20, 202645 min

  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.

  What is The Difference Between Bitcoin and Trump Coin?

  Aug 13, 202631 min

  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 This episode is for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute financial, tax, legal or investment advice.

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

  Aug 6, 202641 min

  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.

  The Fed's New Chairman Is Lying To You

  Jul 18, 202634 min

  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. ⏱ CHAPTERS 0:00 Cold Open: The Lie 1:07 Welcome: Warsh Testifies Live 1:37 "A Whopper of a Lie" + The Convenient CPI Print 2:45 The Warsh Playbook: Foaming the Runway 5:30 Why Bitcoin, Gold, and Silver Are in a Funk 7:01 Liquidity Is Tight: The China Factor 7:33 When Does It End?
