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.

Key Topics:

Why fiat is now mathematically unsustainable

AI silently killing entry-level hiring today

Robots rivaling nation-states in power

Deflationary tech destroying debt-based money

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.

Mentor Sessions Ep. 038: James Check on 2025 Bitcoin Bear Market Paradox, Great Rotation Bullish Selling, Cycle-Breaking Outlook & 200K Price Potential

Is Bitcoin in a "modern bear market" up 7.8% YTD despite massive $290B old coin sell-offs? On-chain expert James Check from CheckOnChain reveals why 2025 price action defies expectations, with 63% supply cost basis above 95K creating a "top-heavy" plunge risk to 80s—yet silent institutions absorb billions in "bullish selling" for a great rotation slingshot. In this BTC Sessions interview, Check breaks down paradoxical sentiment (Google Trends at all-time lows), why the 4-year cycle is dead as Bitcoin transitions to macro asset, derivatives shift (options now dominate futures for volatility explosions), treasury mania "smoldering ruins," AI bubble black swan printing trillions, and bull case for 150K fair value exploding to 200K+ fast. Essential Bitcoin price analysis for 2025: Bear firepower fails, sellers evaporate—stack now or get screwed? Don't miss this deep dive on on-chain data, macro traps, and why bears are "really, really wrong" for max pain upside.
