Peter McCormack

Peter Lane and George Boyd sit down with Peter McCormack — the OG Bitcoin podcaster who built What Bitcoin Did into the biggest Bitcoin podcast in the world, owner of Real Bedford FC, and now host of The Peter McCormack Show. The conversation kicks off with his relentless work ethic, the unconventional path from advertising to addiction to recovery, and how the dark web led him to buy his first Bitcoin for £80. From there, the conversation covers building What Bitcoin Did, why he became convinced Bitcoin was the only viable winner, and how it liberated his thinking on everything from money to free speech and cancel culture in football. They move through Real Bedford's rise up the pyramid, what it actually takes to run a club on Bitcoin, and the impact it's had on the town. The latter half touches on AI and creativity — including the tools Peter's been building with Claude, from a real-wage calculator to a system that fact-checks every MP — plus why he handed What Bitcoin Did to Danny and launched a politics-focused show instead. There's also a blunt take on why Britain stopped working, why he no longer votes, and Real Bedford's five-year plan. Bitcoin runs through it all as the asset, the mindset, and the reason the club exists.

Rupert Lowe joins Peter McCormack to discuss Restore Britain, Reform UK, immigration, Parliament, the judiciary, the civil service, tax, welfare, young people, the Green Party, the private sector, Bitcoin, inflation and whether Britain can still be saved. Rupert argues that the state has become too powerful, Britain may no longer have the rule of law, the private sector is dying, and Restore’s mission is to return power to the people. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 - The State Has Become the Enemy 00:01:02 - Has Voting Stopped Working? 00:05:49 - How Dysfunctional Is the State? 00:06:58 - The Complaint System Inside Parliament 00:12:46 - “The People Who Lead Britain Are Bad” 00:13:12 - Has Britain Lost the Rule of Law? 00:19:13 - Immigration and the Future of Europe 00:22:59 - What Does Getting Your Country Back Mean? 00:25:39 - Britain’s 22,000-Page Tax Code 00:28:09 - Fabianism and the Growth of the State 00:32:34 - Can One MP Fight the Machine? 00:35:49 - How Restore Mobilised the Apathetic 00:38:48 - Makerfield, Burnham and the By-Election 00:45:39 - Why the Private Sector Is Dying 00:52:17 - How Do You Fix Inflation? 00:59:32 - Is Reform Managed Opposition? 01:08:14 - Restore’s Immigration Policy 01:14:35 - The Triple Lock and the Baby Boomers 01:16:17 - Why Young People Are Going Green 01:25:27 - What Happens If Restore Fails? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE › Website – http://petermccormack.com › Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact › Email – me@petermccormack.com › Instagram – /mccormack555 › X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH RUPERT LOWE › X/Twitter – https://x.com/RupertLowe10 › Website – https://www.restorebritain.org.uk/join_us SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com › Ground News - https://ground.news/peterm › Monetary Metals - https://www.Monetary-Metals.com/McCormack - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE › Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K › Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu › Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM › YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM › Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR › https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/ › <a href="https:

Narinder Kaur joins Peter McCormack to discuss racism, immigration, British politics, feminism, motherhood, young men, the cost of living, minimum wage, small businesses, Reform, Tommy Robinson, the Green Party and whether Britain is being divided by politicians, media and algorithms.

Physicist Professor Melvin Vopson joins Peter McCormack to discuss information physics, simulation theory, AI, digital life, consciousness, God, free will, and death.

Liz Truss, former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, joins me to discuss what really happened during her time in office and why she believes the UK is in long-term economic and political decline. We talk about the limits of political power, the role of institutions like the Bank of England, and why she argues that meaningful change is harder than voters realise. Liz also reflects on why she was removed from office and whether Britain can reverse its current trajectory. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 - Who Has Power 00:02:09 - 25 Years Stagnation 00:07:13 - “I Was Vindicated” 00:12:04 - Politicians vs Blob 00:16:52 - Anti-Establishment Movement 00:22:29 - Bank of England Power 00:30:46 - Leadership vs Movement 00:37:20 - How The System Controls 00:46:44 - Who Runs Government 00:54:28 - Reversing The System 01:00:01 - Consequences of Decline 01:04:59 - Debt Crisis Risk - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE › Website – http://petermccormack.com › Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact › Email – me@petermccormack.com › Instagram – /mccormack555 › X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH LIZ TRUSS › Website – https://www.cpac.org/int/greatbritain/home › Twitter – https://x.com/trussliz SPONSORS › IREN - https://iren.com › LEDN - https://www.ledn.io/peter › Monetary Metals - https://www.Monetary-Metals.com/McCormack - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE › Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K › Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu › Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM › YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM › Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR › https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/ › https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK › https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.

Why does everything feel more expensive even when the economy is supposedly "growing"? The truth is, the financial system isn't broken - it's functioning exactly as it was designed to In this episode, macroeconomist and author Lyn Alden joins the show to discuss the mechanical reality of the fiat ledger and the global debt trap. We explore how the system forces a silent extraction of wealth from the working class to subsidise sovereign debt, why we are re-entering a 1940s-style era of financial repression, and how corporations (like Coca-Cola) use debt to actively "short" the currency you are forced to save in. We also discuss the hidden math behind the cost-of-living crisis, why the system must "grow or die," and how to protect your wealth. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 – Slow Financial Collapse 00:02:00 – How Money Actually Works 00:07:30 – End of Gold System 00:12:30 – Why Life Feels Harder 00:18:20 – The Debt Trap 00:26:00 – Who Really Wins 00:34:00 – Why System Persists 00:41:00 – Crisis & Bailouts 00:48:30 – System "Resembles Theft" 00:59:20 – Default Explained 01:10:30 – Bitcoin & Alternatives - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE › Website – http://petermccormack.com › Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact › Email – me@petermccormack.com › Instagram – /mccormack555 › X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH LYN ALDEN › Website – https://www.lynalden.com/ › Twitter – https://x.com/LynAldenContact SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › Saily - https://saily.com/peter › Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ › Monetary Metals - https://www.Monetary-Metals.com/McCormack - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE › Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K › Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu › Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM › YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM › Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR › https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/ › https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK › https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of The Peter McCormack Show, I speak with Balaji Srinivasan, founder of the Network School (ns.com). We discuss the decline of the West, the rise of China, AI disruption, Bitcoin's role in a collapsing dollar system, and why political polarisation is tearing America apart. Balaji explains why dollar inflation is global taxation, why U.S. empire is unsustainable, and how decentralised technology is reshaping money, media, and geopolitics.

Businessman, former MEP, and leader of Advance UK Ben Habib joins The Peter Mccormack Show to deliver a blistering critique of Britain's political and constitutional decline. In this discussion, Ben exposes how Tony Blair's reforms, the Human Rights Act, and decades of globalist policies have eroded British sovereignty, weakened our borders, and crippled our economy. We discuss the collapse of public trust, the migration crisis, EU entanglements, judicial overreach, and why Keir Starmer's Labour government poses an existential threat to Britain's future. Ben reveals Advance UK's plan to rebuild the nation from the ground up: secure our borders, return power to Parliament, revive our economy, and defend British values.

Katie Lam, a Conservative parliamentary candidate and former senior civil servant, joins The Peter McCormack Show to deliver a critique of Britain's cultural decay, political cowardice and the institutional failures undermining national trust. From grooming gangs and immigration to women's safety and the collapse of political consensus, Lam calls for a bold new conservatism rooted in honesty, dignity and real public service. We discuss how the Left abandoned fairness, how the Right lost courage, and why Britain needs a cultural revival not just another election cycle.

Labour MP Josh Simons joins The Peter McCormack Show for a frank discussion on Britain's broken system and his mission to fix it from within. As founder of the Labour Growth Group, Simons challenges his own party's orthodoxy on tax and the "win-win" rhetoric of the political establishment. He lays out a vision to put working-class people back at the heart of politics , rebuild our broken institutions , and radically rethink education for the age of AI. This is a blueprint for a different kind of Labour party and a look at how a new generation of politician is tackling the UK's decline.
