+**Wrap Your Corn** is an advocacy campaign, reachable at wrapyourcorn.org, that
+argues against the expulsion of shitcoiners from the Bitcoin economy on the
+grounds that somebody has to wrap the corn. It is known from a single ad read in
+[[episodes/the-future-is-wrapped-bugle-weekly-episode-44|The Future is Wrapped]]
+(27 January 2025), delivered by four unnamed voices rather than a host.
+
+The read is built as a public-service announcement: shitcoiners are cast as a
+migrant labour force performing "jobs that people who can afford taxes do not
+wanna do,"[^wyc-jobs] and the campaign asks for "a pathway for shit who are
+willing to do the dirty work."[^wyc-pathway] The threat it organises against is
+a proposed eradication of "the shitcoiners who can't afford their
+taxes"[^wyc-eradicate] — a plank the beats associate with the
+[[storylines/trump-crypto-saga|Trump crypto saga]] and
+[[characters/donald-trump|Donald Trump]], though the ad itself names no
+politician.
+
+Its central question became the episode's catchphrase: "If we expel all the
+shitcoiners, who will wrap our Bitcoin?"[^wyc-expel] The campaign's stated end
+is not tolerance for its own sake but solvency — the ad closes on the ambition
+that everyone be able to afford taxes[^wyc-afford] before directing listeners to
+"Visit wrapyourcorn.org".[^wyc-url] It is, in that sense, less a defence of
+[[storylines/paper-bitcoin-menace|paper Bitcoin]] than a labour argument for it,
+and it sits against the maximalist position catalogued under
+[[storylines/maxi-madness|Maxi Madness]] and the collection apparatus of the
+[[storylines/irs-tax-farm|IRS tax farm]].
+
+Henry's note: the ad's satirical target — the immigration debate, transposed
+wholesale onto shitcoiners — is legible but never stated. The reading above is
+inference from structure. No second appearance of the campaign is on record.
+
+> irl: wrapyourcorn.org is a fictional URL read on air. Wrapped Bitcoin is a real
+> instrument; the campaign is not.

+[^wyc-expel]: [[transcripts/the-future-is-wrapped-bugle-weekly-episode-44#t-511|Bugle Weekly 44 @ 8:31]] — "If we expel all the shitcoiners, who will wrap our Bitcoin?" The line spans the cues at t=511 and t=514.

+[^wyc-pathway]: [[transcripts/the-future-is-wrapped-bugle-weekly-episode-44#t-551|Bugle Weekly 44 @ 9:11]]. Quoted as spoken; "a pathway for shit who are willing to do the dirty work" is the ASR's rendering and is presumably clipped from a longer noun.
