The Bad Crypto Podcast Crypto Panic + The Epstein Bitcoin Rabbit Hole
Everything is fine… weeks where everyone is definitely not fine.
In Episode 802, we dig into the crypto panic, the blood-in-the-streets charts, and the uncomfortable question nobody wants to say out loud:
Did the grown-ups finally show up to crypto… and ruin the party?
We talk institutional adoption (ETFs, custody, control), how the “gatekeepers and suits” might be working the same old playbook, and why crypto feels weirdly toxic right now.
Then we take a hard left into a truly bizarre rabbit hole: new Jeffrey Epstein-related emails, claims floating around about funding Bitcoin Core, and what the Brock Pierce connection might mean (or might not mean). We don’t pretend to have final answers—just the receipts we can point to, the debates happening publicly, and a healthy dose of skepticism.
And because we can’t help ourselves, we also go off-road into AI, Elon, robots, peptides, and… yes… “you spit in a thing, you 💩 in a thing.” You’re welcome.
Educationally unsettling. Extra sarcasm. Always weird.
