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.
