What would Christopher Hitchens say about cryptocurrency? In this satirical reimagining, Hitchens delivers a devastating takedown of the digital gold rush that turned speculation into religion and scams into culture.
From his imagined vantage point, Hitchens dismantles the absurdities of the crypto world—from Trump’s vanity coins and Logan Paul’s CryptoZoo fiasco to Andrew Tate’s “Real World Token” and Elon Musk’s market-moving memes. He exposes how crypto became a perfect twenty-first-century con: a system where the house always wins and the house is whoever sold you the tokens.
Hitchens doesn’t spare the blockchain evangelists either, skewering the blind faith, environmental damage, and linguistic delusion of “HODL,” “diamond hands,” and “buy the dip.” He acknowledges the few legitimate use cases—Bitcoin in collapsing economies, Ethereum’s smart contracts—but shows how they’re drowned out by grift, greed, and gullibility.
Join us as we explore how Hitchens’ wit and skepticism might slice through the digital delusion of cryptocurrency—the casino where everyone thinks they’re the house until the lights go out.
