Peter McCormack is the host of What Bitcoin Did, one of the most widely listened-to Bitcoin podcasts. He is also chairman of Real Bedford Football Club, which he has used as a vehicle to promote Bitcoin adoption.
What Bitcoin Did
McCormack launched What Bitcoin Did in 2017. The podcast features long-form interviews with Bitcoin developers, economists, entrepreneurs, and policymakers. It has become one of the primary entry points for people learning about Bitcoin, covering everything from technical development to macroeconomics to human rights.
Real Bedford
McCormack purchased Real Bedford FC, a non-league English football club, and put Bitcoin on its balance sheet. The club serves as a real-world experiment in Bitcoin adoption at the community level, with the goal of demonstrating how a small organization can benefit from a Bitcoin treasury strategy.
Background
McCormack entered Bitcoin in 2017 from a marketing background. He has been open about his journey from crypto speculation to Bitcoin-only conviction, which has made his podcast relatable to newcomers navigating the same path.
