Dear Sam Tripoli, PODCONF Is Not A Friend

Dear Sam,

I am writing to you to warn you that PODCONF is not a friend. They are a shadow organization that has infiltrated the Bitcoin community in order control narratives and destroy the cypherpunk ethos. If they have their way, there were be global cigarette bans, and a complete destruction of human creativity.

PODCONF represents the worst aspects of the Bitcoin ecosystem. They believe that the only way to achieve mass Bitcoin adoption is through following the rules and begging politicians for permission. They are attempting to weaponize cancel control to ostracize individuals who want to use Bitcoin as a way to circumvent government repression and censorship.

If they have their way, they will institute policies around censoring what they deem as "Non-compliant" Bitcoin transactions. They believe that censorship and stringent controls over narratives will cause the price of Bitcoin to go up, which is in stark contrast to what has allowed Bitcoin to be adopted in the first place.

Organizations like the Silk Road and Wikileaks were what gave a true use case to Bitcoin. Both organizations are famous, not because they asked their rulers for permission and followed the rules. Instead they broke the rules, using Bitcoin as a vehicle to do so. As a result they were able to radically change the world, arguably for the better.

Compliance is a dangerous game when the institutions people are complying with are ravaging the world with money printing, war, surveillance, censorship, and general tyranny. The role of journalists is to expose the misdeeds of those in power, but instead the majority of news agencies such as the New York Times, have just become fronts for the CIA.

Journalism is like comedy, it is only valuable if it is noncompliant, meaning that if necessary, breaks the rules set by those in power, who often use rules as a weapon to solidify their wealth and power. This was apparent during the Covid lockdowns, where journalists failed to report any real news, and chose instead to primarily report fake news fabricated in order to support those in power.

PODCONF stands for the Podcast Conference Industrial Complex which consists of Bitcoin podcasters, conference organizers, and the companies funding it all through strategic sponsorships. They are organized, have money, and yet many individuals learning about and interacting with Bitcoin have no idea that this shadow organization is molding their perceptions on how to use it. They believe that the only way to acquire Bitcoin is to give their government identification to a PODCONF approved institution, hold their Bitcoin on a PODCONF approved hardware wallet that potentially has explosives stealthily installed by the Jews, and listen to PODCONF approved Bitcoin podcasts that talk about compliance and Number Go Up (NGU).

I started the Bugle in 2023 because I was tired of working for the CIA controlled media and wanted to reclaim my soul after my liver almost died as a result of my alcoholism that resulted from having to perpetuate endless propaganda pieces disguised as real news. I chose to report primarily on Bitcoin and to expose PODCONF, forcing them to come out of the shadows, because I saw it as one of the best vehicles to achieve a society where children are allowed to smoke cigarettes, individuals read Atlas Shrugged cover to back twice a year, and using your brain to think for yourself is cool.

Our society doesn't value using your brain. PODCONF discourages it every chance they get. If our society valued thinking and Ayn Rand, we would be allowed to smoke on airplanes.

PODCONF will try to influence you, but I advise you to resist them with every fiber in your body. If you have any dignity, which I believe you do as a very talented comedian who has historically taken unpopular opinions when much of your profession stepped in lockstep with the establishment CIA controlled media's instructions, you will resist their calls to comply.

While they have control over so much of the narratives, they will never be able to gain full control over the human soul. Deep down in every individual is the desire to just be able to buy a pack of cigarettes without having to ask for permission, showing a government ID, and using credit cards which document every transaction they have ever done. No, the human soul cries out for so much more.

That is why Sam, PODCONF is the enemy. They seek to rob of us a future where individuals can make decisions for themselves which strict micromanagement over their every move. I have faith you will reject them.

Sincerely,

Richard Greaser, Founder and Editor of Bugle News
