ABOUT THIS EPISODE
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.
