    +
    +Bitcoin 2024 Nashville is [[characters/david-bailey|David Bailey]]'s July 2024 Bitcoin
    +Magazine conference, and the single most consequential week in the Bugle's record. The
    +show covered it as a foreign assignment: two weeks of pre-flight prophecy, one week on
    +the ground selling non-KYC cigarettes, and roughly two years of fallout that the hosts
    +still date events against. The conference is where the show holds that Bitcoin was
    +announced to have won,[^won-nashville] where [[characters/terrence-yang|Terrence Yang]]
    +was caught in a men's room and effectively disappeared from the universe, and where the
    +Bugle hired its producer off a Nashville sidewalk.
    +
    +The show does not use the conference's own name for it. In the Bugle it is "the ordinals
    +mag conference,"[^ordinals-mag] "Bitcoin Magazine's political conference,"[^political-conf]
    +or, for the duration of episode 17, Spookville.
    +
    +**Who's in it:** [[characters/richard-greaser|Richard Greaser]] · [[characters/rod-palmer|Rod Palmer]] · [[characters/david-bailey|David Bailey]] · [[characters/donald-trump|Donald Trump]] · [[characters/terrence-yang|Terrence Yang]] · [[characters/dennis-porter|Dennis Porter]] · [[characters/kailey-welch|Kailey Welch]] · [[characters/mshodlnaut420|MsHodlnaut420]] · [[characters/lubka|Steven Lubka]] · [[characters/shinobi|Shinobi]] · [[characters/matt-odell|Matt Odell]] · [[characters/candace-owens|Candace Owens]]

    +## Pre-flight: the booking desk (July 2024)
    +
    +The show's first Nashville business is personnel. [[characters/candace-owens|Candace Owens]]
    +is adopted as the Bugle's own and floated for the stage, her speaking fee denominated in
    +Fountain boosts and to be crowdfunded from the audience;[^owens-fee] when the booking
    +fails to materialise, [[characters/david-bailey|Bailey]] is blamed for the entire world's
    +failure to get orange-pilled. "[M]aybe what it comes down to is you just need David Bailey
    +to to kinda get his priorities in order," says [[characters/richard-greaser|Greaser]] —
    +hyperbitcoinization stalled until Bailey books Owens instead of politicians.[^bailey-priorities]
    +
    +The conference's designated fight is also settled in advance. Ordinals, [[characters/rod-palmer|Rod Palmer]]
    +rules, have been normalized and retired; politics takes the slot, and Terrence Yang is
    +named as the last holdout: "I think Terrence would have, Terrence Yang would have an
    +opinion on that. I don't think he's over it, but I think most people are."[^ordinals-retired]
    +The broader condition is diagnosed as a "PodCon civil war" — the Bitcoin mirror of the
    +national one — caused, per Rod, by there simply being too many conferences.[^podconf-civil-war]
    +
    +> irl: Bitcoin 2024 ran in Nashville in late July 2024; the Butler, Pennsylvania
    +> shooting occurred on 13 July 2024, days before episode 17 recorded.
    +
    +## Spookville: the opsec doctrine (episode 17, 15 July 2024)
    +
    +Nashville's danger is established as ambient. "It's good to have OPSEC when you go to
    +Nashville to the biggest gathering of Bitcoins in the world because it's gonna be a lot of
    +suspicion there," Rod says — the title beat, built from the premise that anyone shopping
    +at [[sponsors/orange-mart|Orange Mart]] probably has Bitcoin.[^spookville-title]
    +
    +The prescription is poverty cosplay. Wear altcoin merch, claim to hold nothing: "And and
    +maybe maybe to wear, like, an altcoin t shirt. So, like, if you're walking around I'll keep
    +all my savings in Tether."[^altcoin-camouflage] The Butler shooting is folded in as a
    +credentialing failure rather than a security one — the shooter, Greaser notes, "attended one
    +of the events without KYC," which is his argument that Nashville will now ID
    +everybody.[^butler-kyc] Greaser's own ambition for the week is commercial: to sell so many
    +non-KYC cigarettes that the spot ETF is forced to buy a booth. "I want them to see it as,
    +like, a major threat to their authority that Richard Grieser is selling non KYC
    +cigarettes."[^etf-booth] The outro closes the episode by renaming the venue and telling
    +listeners to arrive with lightning liquidity.[^ordinals-mag]
    +
    +## The calm before the storm (episode 18, 23 July 2024)
    +
    +The cold open frames Nashville week as an internet-breaking event authored by one man:
    +"This week, the people of the world will be watching David Bailey's Twitter account with
    +notifications."[^bailey-notifications] The announcer assigns the hosts their beat —
    +"Journalists Richard Grieser and Rod Palmer will be on the ground, covering the breaking
    +stories" — and specifies it as subverting compliant PodConf culture by selling non-KYC
    +cigarettes peer to peer.[^assignment] Terrence Yang is written in as the designated sore
    +loser, sitting at home "playing the world's smallest violin."[^yang-violin]
    +
    +The episode's load-bearing rumor is sourced to one man. "[C]redential journalist Dennis
    +Porter says that, he's gonna make Bitcoin part of the strategic reserve" — [[characters/dennis-porter|Porter]]
    +carrying the show's standing honorific, ASR-shorn of its -ed.[^porter-reserve] Greaser puts
    +a dated prophecy on the record: Trump speaks, Bitcoin runs from roughly $70,000 to
    +$210,000, en route to a $2,000,000,000,000 coin, "based on my expert opinions and
    +charts."[^price-prophecy] Rod's predictions are sociological instead — a disruptive Porter
    +appearance and "a lot of simping of politicians"[^simping] — plus the standing fed test:
    +"I think there's gonna be a lot of feds and spits there. And we talked about this. They're
    +gonna be wearing Monero t shirts."[^fed-spotting]
    +
    +Two threads fuse into the week's most ambitious proposal. Expecting a hundred-to-one
    +gender ratio, Rod pitches an IRL sybil attack: "anybody interested in doing an in real life
    +civil type of attack, I would pay women" — to queue at the conference bathrooms, because
    +the photographs would be an unfalsifiable buy signal for next year's
    +tickets.[^sybil-bathrooms] Elsewhere the pre-show gossip is put to market, with Rod asking
    +for a Polymarket line on [[characters/shinobi|Shinobi]] hooking up at the
    +conference.[^polymarket-shinobi] [[characters/mshodlnaut420|MsHodlnaut420]] boosts 6,969
    +sats to announce her own opsec — "She says my OPSEC at the conference is gonna be on point.
    +I'm gonna pretend like I don't even know what the narrow is" — and Rod immediately declares
    +it blown, on the grounds that she has now demonstrated knowing what Monero is.[^mshodl-opsec]
    +The episode ends with escalation past the Genesis block: the wars in Ukraine and Israel
    +"will come to a screeching halt as the soldiers pause their offensive action to watch Donald
    +Trump speak."[^manifesto]
    +
    +## On the ground (episode 19, 30 July 2024)
    +
    +The dispatch that follows is, by the show's own accounting, a triumph. Greaser sold
    +out — "the non KYC cigarette sales were absolutely amazing" — and had to refer overflow
    +demand to rival vendors.[^cigs-soldout] He confirms attending Bitcoin Fight Club and
    +immediately invokes its first rule: "Can't talk about the Bitcoin Fight Club, but it was a
    +great time."[^fight-club-rule]
    +
    +The conference's federal security presence is read not as an intrusion but as a hard-money
    +milestone. Rod counts TSA and Secret Service checkpoints as fresh layers of network
    +security stacked on top of hash: "if you have the TSA, that's the Department of Homeland
    +Security for The United States Of America defending Bitcoin."[^tsa-security] Queues around
    +the convention centre are likewise evidence — Rod dates the arrival of the "suddenly
    +phase" to plebs missing their favourite podcaster for lining up too late.[^suddenly-phase]
    +Greaser closes the loop with the show's standing post-conference ritual, mangled by ASR
    +into a stricter test than intended: "you walk away from a conference, it's really important
    +to ask the question, would Satoshi be perfect?"[^satoshi-proud]
    +
    +Two ejections define the week. Terrence Yang "got caught on TikTok offering a stranger an
    +ordinal in the bathroom" and was carried out by the Secret Service.[^yang-busted] Dennis
    +Porter was reportedly removed too — "according to my sources, Danish Porter was also picked
    +up on his plan" — which the hosts process entirely as a protocol violation, arguing the
    +conference applied its own spam filters to a transaction that broke no rule.[^porter-censored]
    +Rod's romantic dispatch is less successful: he met MsHodlnaut420 and reports being catfished
    +by her avatar.[^catfish]
    +
    +## Fallout
    +
    +The hire came first. On 5 August the show introduces its new producer, who opens by
    +disclaiming her near-namesake: "My name is Kaylee Welch, not to be confused with the Hawk
    +two Ah Girl. I'm a hot blonde who smokes cigarettes."[^kaylee-intro] The recruitment method
    +was canvassing: "Rod and Dick approached me in Nashville on Broadway Street to see if I was
    +the Hawk two All Girl, and we hit it off."[^kaylee-broadway] Her audition was driving the
    +hosts around Nashville drunk at a hundred miles an hour, which Rod files as a job
    +qualification.[^kaylee-audition] Yang, meanwhile, denies the bathroom story and reports
    +having COVID, which the hosts read as both cover and karma.[^yang-denies]
    +
    +The verdict on the event settles quickly. Bitcoin has already won, Rod explains, "I think
    +that it was announced in Nashville"; the world only found out once the Olympics ended and
    +people reached their DVRs.[^won-nashville] Greaser's one grievance is procedural: the TSA
    +confiscated lighters at the door, blocking his free speech of smoking during
    +[[characters/matt-odell|Matt Odell]]'s talk.[^lighter-ban] [[characters/lubka|Steven Lubka]],
    +visiting in September, names the bag checks as the highlight: "I mean, the secret service
    +was there. That was really one of the best parts in Nashville."[^lubka-secret-service] In
    +the same month Rod reasons from the on-stage gift — "David Bailey gave Donald Trump one full
    +Bitcoin" — to an assassination motive, one of 21 million permanently off the market, though
    +he suspects Trump has already lost it.[^bailey-gift]
    +
    +Nashville then hardens into precedent. Shinobi reports in December that Porter will be
    +blacklisted from the next conference for having tried "to sneak past, Secret Service Security
    +last year in Nashville," which the hosts reread as proof of dedication.[^porter-blacklist]
    +Greaser's Nashville cigarette economy becomes a recognition signal in the wild: a stranger
    +approaches him flashing "the credential journalist hat and showed me his non KYC cigarettes."[^shadrach]
    +Yang's fate is stated as canon in March 2025 — "Nobody has seen or heard from Terrence since
    +he got busted trying to trade ordinals"[^yang-gone] — and by 2026 the bust is cited as the
    +genre-defining precedent for any subsequent scandal.[^yang-precedent]
    +
    +The price never cooperated. A year on, Greaser reports on the plebs who cheered from the
    +floor: "They were at the conference in Nashville. They were so excited about Trump saying,
    +have fun playing with your Bitcoins" — and got a flat chart and podcasters telling them
    +Bitcoin is broken.[^have-fun] By May 2026 Greaser has issued the final revision: the
    +ecosystem's worst error was not a policy or a fork but a missed booking. "[T]he biggest
    +tactical mistake made in the the Bitcoin ecosystem was missing Haley Welch."[^hawk-tuah-fumble]
    +The last piece of lore is Fight Club's venue, disclosed only in 2026: the last official one
    +was held in UFC fighter Michael Chandler's Nashville gym.[^fight-club-gym]
    +
    +> irl: Greaser's Nashville price call — ~$70,000 at the speech, $210,000 to follow —
    +> is the show's most checkable prophecy. Its non-arrival is the subject of the
    +> episode 83 and episode 109 beats above.
    +
    +## The paper trail (the Bugle's X feed)
    +
    +The show's Nashville coverage did not begin on the plane. The Bugle's X accounts ran the
    +storyline as a public wire for the better part of a year before episode 17, and kept
    +re-litigating it long after. The posts are their own artifact: the booking desk, the
    +protest slate, and the Yang bust all surface here first or last.
    +
    +### The booking desk, in public
    +
    +The Dennis Porter campaign that the pre-flight episodes treat as settled was, in the wire's
    +telling, an announced institutional effort. "The Bugle is officially launching our campaign
    +to get Dennis a speaking slot at Bitcoin 2024," posted eight months out — the same
    +[[characters/dennis-porter|Porter]]-for-the-stage push the show later credits for the
    +strategic-reserve rumor.
    +
    +> "The Bugle is officially launching our campaign to get Dennis a speaking slot at Bitcoin 2024"

    +
    +![](/tweets/1737191054259204472-0.jpg)
    +
    +By April the designated-fight beat from episode 17 — ordinals retired, politics installed —
    +had already been posted as a program change, with Porter as the face of the new slot:
    +
    +> "BITCOIN 2024: Open Source Stage Will be Replaced By Politics Stage Ft. Dennis Porter"
    +> — [@rodpalmerhodl, 2024-04-01](https://x.com/rodpalmerhodl/status/1774803512574013705)
    +
    +The commercial machinery around [[characters/david-bailey|Bailey]]'s conference is caught
    +too — the auction economy ("Bitcoin 2024 Announces Influencer Auction Night" —
    +[@bitcoin_bugle, 2024-01-08](https://x.com/bitcoin_bugle/status/1744437181383364862)) and
    +the promo-code register that every interaction is supposed to close with:
    +
    +> "End every interaction with 'Use my promo code for Bitcoin 2024'"
    +> — [@bitcoin_bugle, 2024-03-22](https://x.com/bitcoin_bugle/status/1771298536241438859)
    +
    +### The Sound Money Fest and the protest slate
    +
    +The pre-show items the audio never mentions — the ones filed under **Unattested in audio**
    +below — are all live on the wire, which is where their news pages were promoted from. The
    +Taylor Swift headline and the counter-rally ran within a day of each other in February 2024:
    +
    +> "Taylor Swift To Headline Bitcoin 2024 'Sound Money Fest' In Hometown Nashville"
    +> — [@bitcoin_bugle, 2024-02-20](https://x.com/bitcoin_bugle/status/1759988880483217608)
    +
    +> "Statist Bitcoiner Coalition Organizes Pride Rally Outside Bitcoin 2024"
    +> — [@bitcoin_bugle, 2024-02-19](https://x.com/bitcoin_bugle/status/1759570307210158269)
    +
    +The [[characters/taylor-swift|Swift]] booking is bylined to [[characters/rod-palmer|Rod Palmer]]
    +in the post itself — the same hand that would later pitch the bathroom sybil attack. Henry's
    +note: these are canon Bugle output, not real-world reporting; they simply never made it into
    +a spoken beat for this storyline.
    +
    +### Spookville, broadcast
    +
    +The wire announced Spookville the day episode 17 dropped —
    +
    +> "Opsec In Spookville | Bugle Weekly Episode 17"
    +> — [@bitcoin_bugle, 2024-07-15](https://x.com/bitcoin_bugle/status/1812912177369784458)
    +
    +— and, on 31 July, the [[characters/donald-trump|Trump]] speech got its institutional
    +readout from the conference-industrial arm itself, folding the week into the
    +[[storylines/podconf-industrial-complex|PODCONF]] expansion the show had diagnosed as a
    +civil war:
    +
    +> "PODCONF® Expands Reach into Political Sphere Following Catalyst Speech by President Donald Trump at Bitcoin 2024"
    +> — [@_podconf, 2024-07-31](https://x.com/_podconf/status/1818683340742156711)
    +
    +### The Yang bust, restated
    +
    +The [[characters/terrence-yang|Yang]] ejection is the one beat the wire keeps reopening. A
    +year on, Rod added a buyer to the story the episodes left anonymous:
    +
    +> "remember last year in nashville when terrence yang got busted buying ordinals in the men's bathroom at bitcoin 2024? turns out he was buying them from @barackomaba"
    +> — [@rodpalmerhodl, 2025-08-29](https://x.com/rodpalmerhodl/status/1961507567638593869)
    +
    +And by late 2025 the bust had become the standing comparison for any new restroom-commerce
    +scandal — the same genre-defining precedent the March 2025 and 2026 beats establish in
    +audio:
    +
    +> "People are already comparing this to the incident in Nashville during Bitcoin 2024 when Terrence Yang was caught trading Ordinals in the men's restrooms."
    +> — [@bitcoin_bugle, 2025-11-20](https://x.com/bitcoin_bugle/status/1991646720032473168)
    +
    +![](/tweets/1991646720032473168-0.png)
    +
    +## Disputed
    +
    +The seeded version of this page, mapped from headlines rather than audio, asserted several
    +things the beat record does not bear out. They are kept here rather than silently dropped.
    +
    +**Who gave whom what.** The seed had Trump selling Bailey the suit he was shot in for 700
    +BTC.[^suit-sale] The audio record has the transfer running the other way and at a rather
    +different size: "David Bailey gave Donald Trump one full Bitcoin," on stage.[^bailey-gift]
    +Both may stand — nothing forbids a gift and a sale — but no episode beat mentions the suit,
    +the 700 BTC, or its mystical powers, and no episode beat contradicts the news page either.
    +Henry's note: the transaction direction the *show* treats as canon is Bailey → Trump.
    +
    +**The bathroom ordinals.** The seed credited a Swan whistleblower with exposing a bathroom
    +Ordinals-trading scheme at the conference.[^swan-whistleblower] Every episode beat that
    +touches conference bathroom ordinals attributes it to Terrence Yang, caught on TikTok and
    +removed by the Secret Service,[^yang-busted] a reading the show has restated as settled lore
    +twice since.[^yang-gone][^yang-precedent] The show's own source for the follow-up is not a
    +Swan whistleblower but "one of my sources, her name is Kendall," described as a pleb who
    +attends a lot of Bitcoin conferences.[^yang-denies]
    +
    +**Pledditor and the sting.** The seed had [[characters/pledditor|Pledditor]] snitching out
    +the Taproot Wizards afterparty to Nashville police.[^taproot-tipoff] The only episode beat
    +that puts Pledditor anywhere near Nashville is Rod wondering aloud whether "Platter" ran the
    +sting on Yang — speculation in the text, not an established fact, and about a different
    +incident entirely.[^yang-busted] Note also the standing trap: Pledditor is not Matt Odell,
    +and the two are distinct grumps.
    +
    +**Unattested in audio.** The pre-show items in the seed — [[characters/taylor-swift|Taylor Swift]]
    +and the Luxor halving-block NFT,[^luxor-swift] Swift headlining Sound Money Fest,[^sound-money-fest]
    +Just Stop Ordinals' protest plans, the Statist Bitcoiner Coalition rally, Joel Osteen — appear
    +in the news record but in no episode beat for this storyline. That is absence of evidence
    +rather than contradiction: the news pages stand on their own, and the podcast simply never
    +mentioned them.
