The Future of Work in an AI-Driven Economy

In this episode of Coin Stories, Natalie Brunell is joined by Peter McCormack, host of The Peter McCormack Show and chairman of Real Bedford FC. They explore the evolution of Bitcoin, retail adoption challenges, and how Bitcoin intersects with politics, personal freedom, and the role of government.

Peter shares why he's shifted focus from global podcasting to improving his hometown of Bedford, UK, through community initiatives, local safety programs, and funding strategies involving football and Bitcoin. He also reflects on the implications of AI on the job market and opens up about his legal battle with Craig Wright. This conversation offers powerful insight into how Bitcoin can drive local change and empower individuals.

We discuss:

• The role of Bitcoin in empowering communities and local governance
• Insights into Peter’s legal battle with Craig Wright (who claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto)
• Why AI is reshaping the labor market and what it means for the future
• The evolution of Bitcoin adoption and challenges with retail investor interest
