In-universe it is not primarily a conference. It is a +place where you are allowed to smoke indoors, and everything else — the politicians, the +treasury companies, the ordinals, the erections — is weather. + +The Bugle's answer to it was [[events/satirize-the-system|Satirize the System]], the +show's first live event, staged on Fremont Street on the Wednesday of conference week as +a Samourai defense-fund benefit disguised as midget wrestling. + +**Who's in it:** [[characters/rod-palmer|Rod Palmer]] · [[characters/richard-greaser|Richard Greaser]] · +[[characters/erin-redwing|Erin Redwing]] · [[characters/fundamentals|Fundamentals]] · +[[characters/tatum|Tatum]] · [[characters/maggie-morris|Maggie Morris]] · +[[characters/dennis-porter|Dennis Porter]] · [[characters/pledditor|Pledditor]] · +[[characters/evan-kaloudis|Evan Kaloudis]] · [[characters/rob-hamilton|Rob Hamilton]] · +[[characters/frank-corva|Frank Corva]] · [[characters/paul-sports|Paul Sports]] · Jeremy Poley + +**Related:** [[storylines/podconf-industrial-complex]] · [[storylines/samourai-wallet-saga]] · +[[storylines/dennis-porter-saga]] · [[storylines/ordinals-civil-war]] · +[[storylines/cigarette-money-donations]] · [[storylines/boomer-problem]] · +[[storylines/pledditor]] · [[storylines/bitcoin-2024-nashville]] + +## The arc begins as a smoking complaint (2024) + +The storyline opens ten months early and for one reason. Fresh off Nashville, +[[characters/rod-palmer|Rod]] projects forward to a venue where the indoor ashtrays are +legal, and produces the anecdote he intends to tell his grandchildren: "I was at a a +plaid party in Las Vegas, and I shared a cigarette with the director of the CIA."[^cia-cig] + +Two weeks later [[characters/richard-greaser|Greaser]] supplies the causal theory the arc +never abandons — that Bitcoin Magazine relocated the conference to accommodate the +Bugle's campaign: "Bitcoin Magazine might have moved to Vegas this year, upcoming year, is +probably because they wanted to allow smoking in the conference."[^bm-moved] Rod claims +the win outright in the same stretch. Props are given. + +## Buildup (February–May 2025) + +The programming becomes the joke first. [[characters/frank-corva|Frank Corva]] can neither +confirm nor deny Greaser's exit question about the 2026 edition being held in Gaza, then +pivots to selling Vegas as the most deep-state conference ever staged.[^gaza-nondenial] +Greaser meanwhile files the objection that Bitcoin 2025's real scandal is its guest list: +"If Dennis Porter and Kim Jong Un are not allowed to speak at the conference, it will be a +massive strategic mistake."[^kim-dennis] By late April he has named the thing: the +regulatory clarity conference, on the grounds that "Dennis Porter rounded up all the +politicians. All the politicians he's been lobbying are gonna be speaking there."[^clarity-conf] + +Attendance planning proceeds along Bugle lines. A listener's boost becomes an announced +meetup inside sixty seconds — "Bitcoiners who listen to forty hours per week can dock. +We're gonna dock together in Vegas."[^docking] [[sponsors/40-hpw|40HPW]] and the +[[sponsors/comply-clothing-line|Comply]] lines are pitched as conference camouflage, "some +of the best ways to really" stand out in a crowd full of simps,[^merch-camo] and the +follow-up read doubles as the first on-air confirmation both hosts are going: "If you're +going to Vegas and you're doxxing yourself to all the spooks out there, like Ron and I +are,"[^doxx-spooks] — the ASR renders Rod as "Ron". + +Others announce their positions. [[characters/cory-klippsten|Cory Klippsten]], having +taken Greaser's advice to diversify his targets, will spend the week "standing outside the +slot machines"[^klippsten-slots] harassing gamblers on behalf of Swan. +[[characters/junseth|Junseth]] declines on doctrinal grounds: "I've adopted a new political +philosophy called, steampunk glutism."[^steampunk] [[characters/shinobi|Shinobi]] and +[[characters/luke-dashjr|Luke Dashjr]] are also out, which Greaser treats as a loss for +public discourse — "Shinobi won't be there. Nobody's gonna get called retarded at the +conference."[^absentees] Rod, unprompted, volunteers his one named debate target: "I'd I'd +still love to debate predator"[^debate-pledditor] — ASR for +[[characters/pledditor|Pledditor]], who Rod notes will not be there either. + +The Bugle also signs a truce. "Aaron invited us to in Scribe in Vegas": a media +partnership with the ordinals people sends Rod, Greaser and +[[characters/maggie-morris|Maggie Morris]] to [[characters/erin-redwing|Erin Redwing]]'s +event as accredited press.[^inscribe-deal] The embed is announced without embarrassment even +though Rod has declared for the Knotzis: "we're gonna be hanging out with, Aaron Redwing at +the, the Inscribing Vegas event"[^behind-lines] — ground zero, per Greaser, for node rapage. +Greaser will be wearing his No-rdinals hats +while he does it, defending the right to inscribe but preferring block space go to "non +KYC cigarette transactions."[^nordinals-hats] Commerce is planned in kind: "You're gonna +have the opportunity to buy non KYC cigarettes from me,"[^nonkyc-smokes] with autographed +packs of Marlboro Reds. Lightning liquidity is not planned at all, which is how the +catchphrase gets deployed as literal advice: "The the revolution will not have good UX. If +you wanna participate in the revolution,"[^bad-ux] have a game plan for bad UX. + +Greaser also spends the run-up predicting that Bitcoin maximalism will this year be ranked +alongside "other dominant world religions like Judaism and Islam,"[^religion] then asking +whether that implies an eventual war between them. + +## Satirize the System + +The counter-event is announced on 5 May: "First live event, Saturize"[^sts-announce] — the +System — Wednesday 28 May, seven to eleven Pacific, on Fremont Street, with midget +wrestling, non-KYC arcade games, a cigarette balcony, and a Samourai Defense Fund +fundraiser. Four days later it is stated as counter-programming without hedging: you might +have heard about the Bitcoin conference, that'll be happening too, but the event to be at +is "Satire of the System on Fremont Street on Wednesday night."[^sts-fremont] + +The rationale is stated as market research. Greaser gives the Bugle's founding premise as +demand against [[orgs/podconf|PODCONF]]: "They're tired of Podkoff. The reason why we exist +is because there was a marked demand for something other than Podkoff."[^podkoff-demand] Rod +frames the week as a merch war to be won by out-representing them. + +The venue is ideology. The Strip, where the conference is, is the most surveilled and most +KYC'd place on Earth; Fremont, by contrast, "is not that. Fremont Street is a +citadel"[^fremont-citadel] for crazy ungovernable misfits and loons. Jeremy Poley reports +having found the darkest available alley, rendering KYC physically impossible and +guaranteeing non-KYC arcade games. + +The mechanics are a donation with the donation hidden inside the fun: "we are doing a +trivia contest, that is, sponsored by the good people over at Zeus Wallet,"[^trivia] played +in the wrestling ring, with five dollars of every ticket and all raffle money routed to the +peer-to-peer rights fund — currently focused on the Samourai case. Poley's reasoning is +that anyone who has already got themselves to Vegas has already committed. He then leaves +to fetch noise-cancelling headphones and coins a catchphrase on the way out — "Gotta +recharge the headphones, boys. Time to recharge the headphones"[^headphones] — which Rod +canonizes on the spot. + +Distance to the event is measured in the local unit: the Fremont Street Steak and Shake is +"about the time that it takes to smoke three cigarettes"[^three-cigs] away, where a +sit-down with [[characters/adam-semeka|Adam Semeka]] is pretty likely. + +The ad read's high point is unplanned. Mid-stream, Rob Hamilton reports that 2,300 +twelve-year-dormant Silk Road coins have just moved, and Rod annexes the news inside a +second: "It was Ross it was Ross buying tickets to satirize the system."[^ross-tickets] +Greaser's deadpan — there's a reason he started fifteen minutes late. + +Rod's invitation to [[characters/pledditor|Pledditor]] to come and roast the Bugle on stage +was declined: "yeah, I Plutator did not take up my offer to come to satirize the system and +roast us."[^pledditor-declines] + +## Conference week (26–28 May 2025) + +[[characters/timmy-tether|Timmy Tether]] plugs "Saturize the System, the Bugle's first ever +live show taking place on Wednesday night from seven to 11PM"[^timmy-plug] as almost sold +out. The episode itself is truncated for travel — "This is gonna be a short one. Rod's +gonna catch a flight out to Vegas"[^short-ep] — and shot through with what Greaser is +already seeing on the floor of the casino: "I'm reminded why democracy is so retarded. I'm +looking at all these boomers, spending all their Social Security on on the slot +machines."[^boomer-thesis] Rod offers the mitigating fact — Vegas is "a lot more respectful +to the rights of cigarette smokers"[^smoke-inside] — and Greaser accepts it as the silver +lining. He then volunteers to file field reports on the gamblers: "I'm gonna be sending +reports to Plutator this week of all the, the people that are gambling instead of, buying +Bitcoin."[^snitch-reports] + +The week's economic thesis is that the treasury-company boom has created "a CEO position +for every Bitcoin podcaster at a Bitcoin treasury company,"[^ceo-slots] so the reason to +attend is to apply — ideally to a boomer who has just lost his Social Security on the +slots. Rod notes the corollary: an incoming flood of memers shopping meme portfolios for +executive jobs is "honestly Pleader's worst nightmare."[^pledditor-nightmare] Against this, +Greaser observes that every conference has exactly two constants — the price dips, and +somebody announces a decentralized ID system that never ships. The graveyard runs +Impervious, "then it was, the Microsoft guys, then it was Sailor."[^did-graveyard] Rod sells +the Bugle's own event by the negative standard: "this isn't, you know, an announcement of +an announcement. This isn't a letdown like some of Dennis Porter's."[^porter-standard] + +[[characters/tatum|Tatum]], the most recent Behind the Podcast guest, "posted this afternoon +that he thought the conference was in Miami again this year"[^tatum-miami] and bought a +last-second flight. Rod's concern is chemical: "I hope that you packed hair tallow for you +know, formulated for the desert heat, not formulated for the Miami humidity."[^tallow-warn] +Tatum arrives with an agenda of his own — anti-boner underwear, his stated countermeasure +for interviewing [[characters/dennis-porter|Dennis Porter]] on camera, which he offers to +hand out;[^anti-boner] an apology tour, conditioned on a guest slot in return — "Vegas Vegas +is where I start my apology tour. Okay?"[^apology-tour] (Rod asks whether it is an apology +tour or a tour of things he will apologize for later; Tatum concedes the latter); and a DJ +debut, "Debut debut set, 10:00, Wednesday,"[^dj-debut] promising Levels at least ten times, +original mix only. + +Rod's sole piece of conduct advice concerns [[characters/mshodlnaut420|MsHodlnaut420]], the +running bit Fremont Street was built for.[^hodlnaut-fremont] She is, in Vegas, the only +grenade worth jumping on: "Miss Haldenott is trying to cock block"[^cock-block] — jump, and +free your buddy up, as long as she's not a fed. + +## The livestream (28 May 2025) + +The Bugle broadcasts from behind enemy lines — the ordinals side event, where Greaser +records the inversion the whole stream runs on: "I find it really strange to be surrounded +by people that are actually using Bitcoin."[^actually-using] [[characters/fundamentals|Fundamentals]] +turns up with a press pass, which upgrades the credentialed-journalist bit to a prop: +"You know I'm a credential journalist now? Why is that? Oh, because you got your press +pass."[^press-pass] + +News breaks live twice. [[characters/mike-brock|Mike Brock]] "has been spotted at the +Venetian,"[^brock-sighting] which converts instantly into a plan involving cigarettes, forty +hours per week and an Ayn Rand novel. And [[characters/erin-redwing|Erin Redwing]] walks up +mid-stream — "we're talking to one of the the the organizers here of spamming Vegas, Erin +Redwing"[^redwing-walkup] — for an unplanned interview whose first minute is unusable +because she is speaking into Greaser's voice-mod mic. Her read of the conference economy is +the sharpest thing anyone says all week: Bitcoin Magazine sold her event's tickets and takes +indirect shitcoin exposure without taking the heat, because "They like feds, but they don't +like Right. A token, for example."[^feds-not-tokens] + +The Bugle commits, on air, to inscribing something: "We're gonna do we're gonna do a bugle, +inscription. We just don't know exactly how we're gonna do it."[^bugle-inscription] Rod +anticipates the blowback. The event is plugged throughout — "It could be midget wrestling, +some good panels. It's gonna help go to help the samurai devs."[^live-plug] The outro's lore +drop is [[characters/terrence-yang|Terrence Yang]], who crashed the Mandrake event and +reports that he "does very much miss, fight with Shinobi in spaces"[^yang-shinobi] — Shinobi +being in Oslo at the Freedom Forum, which Rod files under Bilderberg. + +## Aftermath (2 June 2025) + +The post-mortem opens on the fake news desk, which names the frame: "This past week was +dominated by the PodCon Super Bowl. Influencers from all over the world gathered in Las +Vegas to discuss compliance,"[^podcon-superbowl] NGU, treasury companies and stablecoins. +[[characters/buster-cherry|Buster Cherry]] files the dispatch that becomes the episode's +dominant bit: "many women expressed their discomfort due to a large number of men walking +around with erections due to Dennis Porter being present at the event."[^porter-erections] +The headlines also plant the banana — "Justin Sun gave Ross a banana, a just stop ordinals +protester was arrested before being able to throw tomato soup on the ordinals +section"[^banana] — and record that "nothing out of the ordinary happened besides a couple of +lackluster Lynn Alden is hot chants,"[^lyn-chants] the meme having decayed from rallying cry +to contingency. The Bugle reports its own milestone through the desk rather than claiming it +directly: "The bugle had their first live event called Satterize the System, which was a +smashing success."[^sts-success] + +The main show is a two-hour purity-test tribunal. Rod's premise is theological: Vegas is Sin +City and therefore proves the test unpassable — "we are all sinners in the eyes of the Lord, +and we are all shitcoiners, in the eyes of Satoshi."[^all-shitcoiners] +[[characters/caitlin-long|Caitlin Long]] is added to the casualty list for trying to open a +stablecoin bank,[^caitlin-purity] which surfaces the live contradiction Greaser pounces on: +the enforcers issuing the purity tests are themselves big fans of stablecoins. +[[characters/maggie-morris|Maggie Morris]] is documented as having screamed "embrace the game +theory multiple times throughout the conference,"[^game-theory] to Dennis Porter's reported +annoyance. Greaser establishes Vegas as EMF-hostile — "[[characters/jack-kruse|Jack Cruz]] +won't even set foot in it because of all the EMFs"[^emf-vegas] — which pays off in the +tallow-as-sunscreen image the episode commits to hardest: seagulls dipping Steak and Shake +fries in "the the towel dripping down Tatum's face when he's walking down Fremont Street one +day."[^tallow-seagulls] The Dennis Porter bit reaches its final form as an overheard expo-hall +marital argument: "she didn't want a Dennis Porter boner. She wanted a love boner."[^love-boner] +Greaser's special underwear worked; Rod's did not; Rod exonerates the men. + +Rod closes with the doctrine that retroactively justifies the hour of complaints — a boring +Bitcoin is a captured Bitcoin, and therefore the freak show is the health indicator: "as long +as Bitcoin remains a freak show, as long as the Bitcoin commerce remains an absolute goon +spectacle,"[^ossification] it is not yet ossified. He hopes next year's is worse. + +## The long tail (June 2025 – April 2026) + +The event keeps producing canon for a year. [[characters/evan-kaloudis|Evan Kaloudis]] +attended and had his beer spilled by a flying midget — "we hung out in Vegas at the +conference. We got to know it. You came to satirize the system"[^evan-attended] — a charge he +partially contests on the record ("Not not most of the beer"). The same episode preserves the +conference's kickoff flex: [[characters/teddy-bitcoins|Teddy Bitcoins]] mocked Dennis Porter +for flying coach, and "Dennis posted a picture of his jet and said, I fly private."[^private-jet] +[[characters/hodl-magoo|Hodl Magoo]] is established as canon to have been one of the Satirize +the System wrestlers, entering from a trash can dressed in green;[^magoo-wrestler] he asked not +to be named. A Nostr booster is thanked for volunteer help on the night.[^booster-help] The +Bugle also threatens defection to BTC Prague should Vegas throw a Diddy party, while asserting +"New York Times publishing standards."[^nyt-standards] + +The event's most consequential downstream effect is reported by +[[characters/paul-sports|Paul Sports]], who credits a Bugle promo video — "there'll be, like, +people in tuxedos who kinda vaguely look like Michael Sailor. And then it was like, oh, but +then we're gonna have midget wrestling"[^sports-video] — with dragging him and multiple +extremely rich friends to a Samourai fundraiser. The hat, he notes, was never passed. + +Vegas outlives the Bugle's own coverage of it. The [[characters/rudy-dazzleworth|Pleb Slop +Pulitzer]] investigation retroactively places a Satoshi stakeout inside the same conference: +"A year ago, I flew to Las Vegas to meet him. He was scheduled to speak at the Bitcoin twenty +twenty five conference at the Venetian Resort."[^rudy-vegas] [[characters/adam-back|Adam Back]] +gave his million-dollar prediction from a stage that organizers "had christened the +Nakamoto"[^nakamoto-stage] — signal treated as omen. + +> irl: Bitcoin 2025 was held in Las Vegas, 27–29 May 2025. + +## The Bugle's own feed + +The accounts kept their own record of the week, and it corroborates the on-air version +almost line for line — the promotional apparatus, the purity tests, and the frame that +outlived everything else. + +### The promotional apparatus ("Spamming Vegas") + +The [[characters/richard-greaser|Bugle]]'s marketing for the trip never once called it a +conference. The pre-show for [[events/satirize-the-system|Satirize the System]] was booked +around the [[storylines/samourai-wallet-saga|Samourai]] case first and the venue second — +"We will be doing a stream tomorrow ... with @zackbshapiro and @frankcorva to discuss the +Samourai Wallet case and the ... Satarize the System event happening in Vegas" +— [[@bitcoin_bugle, 2025-05-14](https://x.com/bitcoin_bugle/status/1922803402871800196)] — +which is the [[characters/frank-corva|Corva]]/[[characters/zack-shapiro|Shapiro]] stream the +page dates to mid-May. The livestream itself was sold under the house term for the +conference: the Bugle would be "reporting live from Bitcoin spam's ground zero" +— [[@bitcoin_bugle, 2025-05-27](https://x.com/bitcoin_bugle/status/1927420119359123911)], +staged from the Las Vegas Illuminarium. The live-event announcement, when it came, was two +words and a photograph — "Satarize the System is live!" +— [[@bitcoin_bugle, 2025-05-29](https://x.com/bitcoin_bugle/status/1927928928506892526)]. + + + +### Purity tests, on the record + +Greaser's post-mortem from behind the ordinals lines is the tribunal of the Aftermath +episode stated as autobiography rather than doctrine. He led with +the verdict on himself — "Rod and I failed so many purity tests by going to that event" +— [[@GreaserRichard, 2025-06-08](https://x.com/GreaserRichard/status/1931565581024530618)] — +and closed it as a standing challenge to the arc's absent antagonist: "I'm surprised +Pledditor hasn't blocked me yet" +— [[@GreaserRichard, 2025-06-08](https://x.com/GreaserRichard/status/1931565581024530618)], +which reads as the sequel to [[characters/pledditor|Pledditor]] declining the invitation to +come roast the show. The same post files the only unironic praise in the record — the +mid-stream walkup interview with [[characters/erin-redwing|Erin Redwing]] was, he reports, +the second time he had her on, and she is "truly a great event organizer and podcaster" +— [[@GreaserRichard, 2025-06-08](https://x.com/GreaserRichard/status/1931565581024530618)]. +The credentialed-journalist bit made flesh. + + + +### The PODCONF Superbowl, one year on + +The frame the fake-news desk coined — the PodCon Super Bowl — never decayed. Eleven months +later Greaser was still deploying it as the [[orgs/podconf|PODCONF]] arc's fixed epithet, +un-hedged: "What else do you expect from the PODCONF Superbowl?" +— [[@GreaserRichard, 2026-04-23](https://x.com/GreaserRichard/status/2047357483413287119)]. +Pressed on it the next day, he supplied the arc's tightest single-line thesis on what the +conference actually is: "It's not a freedom money conference. It's a paper bitcoin and +politics conference. The PODCONF Superbowl" +— [[@GreaserRichard, 2026-04-24](https://x.com/GreaserRichard/status/2047751207049986412)] — +a straight restatement of [[characters/erin-redwing|Redwing]]'s feds-not-tokens read from the +livestream. By April 2026 the term had generalised past Vegas entirely, applied to +staff-meeting prep at rival shops. + + + +## Disputed + +**The Silk Road ticket price.** Within ninety seconds of the same livestream, the annexed coin +movement is reported as 2,300 coins by Rob Hamilton and Rod,[^ross-tickets] and as a super +secret VIP pass costing "exactly 2,003 coins" by Jeremy Poley. The record does not reconcile +the two figures and neither speaker corrects the other. + +**Two beats may belong to a different conference.** [[characters/sasha-hodder|Sasha Hodder]]'s +boost about a Vegas Bitcoin race — which becomes Greaser wanting the race run inside the casino +so he can chain-smoke through it, Rod bidding "four, one per hundred metres"[^cig-race] — airs in +February 2026 and never states a conference year. [[characters/shinobi|Shinobi]]'s prophecy, +that ticket sales are down and the remaining buyers are attending to confront him — "This is +gonna be Shinno. He's gonna be surrounded by all the people he's called retarded"[^shinobi-2026] +— airs in March 2026 and is explicitly about a Vegas conference still to come, i.e. 2026.
