Across a decade of tape — 600+ Mad Bitcoins episodes, 1,500+ World Crypto Network episodes, 482 numbered Bitcoin Group panels — one of the most uncomfortable recurring themes is the same one the broader Bitcoin press eventually caught onto: the conference circuit had a sexualization problem, and the women who showed up early got treated badly enough that some of them stopped showing up. This report assembles what's on tape about that — the strippers, the QR-code-tattoo prediction, the adult-industry adoption story, and the moment a TBG panelist named the issue on the show, attributing the framing to Andreas Antonopoulos.
This report is a corpus-wide dig through 600+ Mad Bitcoins episodes, 1,500+ World Crypto Network episodes, and 482 numbered Bitcoin Group panel shows, looking for what's on tape about strippers, sex workers, sexualization, and conference etiquette across a decade of Bitcoin. The arc is consistent: the 2013 stripper-tipping bit and the QR-code-tattoo prediction; the mid-2014 inflection — Will Pangman bringing Andreas Antonopoulos's framing of the misogyny problem back from Toronto on April 18, 2014 (TBG #26), Mad Bitcoins covering the Brock Pierce / Bitcoin Foundation board controversy exactly one month later on May 19, 2014, and Stephanie Murphy in August 2014 describing a conference with thirty-three male speakers and herself; then a long, quiet recurrence of the same conversation through 2024.
Pangman's April 2014 speech and the Brock Pierce news read sit thirty-one days apart in the news cycle. Read on for the verbatim record.
Every entry below corresponds to a verbatim quote in the body of this report. Click through to the section that covers it.
Thomas remembers Andreas Antonopoulos being upset about the sexualization of Bitcoin conferences. The clearest on-tape reference to that — actually naming Andreas as the source of the framing — is on The Bitcoin Group #26, broadcast April 18, 2014, with Davi Barker, Chris Ellis, Derrick J. Freeman, Kristov Atlas, MK Lords, and Will Pangman on the panel.
The setup is Pangman returning from the Toronto Bitcoin Expo (April 11–13, 2014), at which Andreas had been a featured speaker. Pangman's pre-prepared remark near the end of the show is one of the longest single-speaker ethics-of-the-community statements anywhere in the corpus:
"I was at the Toronto Bitcoin Expo last weekend and it was a fantastic time. Just very community-oriented conference. Really wonderful slate of speakers and just a great all-around time. But I did come back with one major concern. And it's something that some of us may have heard Andreas talk about too and some women in this space as well. There is perhaps a problem of foot with the way that women are treated in this space."
Will Pangman · The Bitcoin Group #26 · Apr 18, 2014 · TBG-026.txt
He continues, into the specific behavior:
"Any meet-ups out there, community organizations, even regional or national or global Bitcoin type associations, please take notice. Especially the men. If there's any mistreatment to respect showmanism, misogyny, or even sexual harassment, which is happening at a lot of these conferences to women who attend and then elect not to attend future events or even participate in the space anymore because of some of this treatment." Will Pangman · same episode
And lands the call to action:
"But I think the only way we can really combat this is for the men in this space to stand up when you see this going on in your meet-ups or in other interactions or in your companies or anywhere there are women entering these communities, entering these groups with interest and then being repelled or repulsed by the treatment they receive to stand up and put a stop to the other men doing this. […] I heard from too many women in Toronto about this thing, it sounds epidemic even from some of the other conferences." Will Pangman · same episode
And the closer:
"If you see this happening, put a stop to it so that we can make sure that we can achieve critical mass adoption and we need women, we need women leaders and we need to be inclusive of them and not talk them down, correct them or even be disrespectful or showvonistic toward them. This is happening and we need to stop it." Will Pangman · same episode
Thomas Hunt, in the host chair, responds directly — affirming Pangman on record:
"It's an excellent point, Will, and everyone should feel comfortable at Bitcoin meetups. That's not acceptable behavior." Thomas Hunt · The Bitcoin Group #26 · same episode
That is the Andreas-and-sexualization moment in the local archive. Three things to flag honestly:
The other half of the cultural artifact — Bitcoin as the rail for the adult industry — runs on tape from mid-2013 forward, peaks around the 2014 Veritell launch, and pays off on April 1, 2018 when Thomas Hunt covers the Las Vegas Legend's Room story. The 2013 prediction and the 2018 fulfillment are the same mechanism, told four and a half years apart.
"Online adult entertainers posting erotic images and videos in exchange for Bitcoin donations or tips. It's kind of like an online strip club, but instead of inserting bills into bras, patrons send bitcoins to a performer's shortened Bitcoin adress."
Mad Bitcoins · Jul 10, 2013 · MB_20130710_C5HZpizwkeE.txt
"Stripcoin, literally Bitcoin for strippers, gets rid of those embarrassing credit card bills. […] It's Stripcoin.com, a new website where strippers, sorry, excuse me, exotic dancers, can learn about Bitcoin and how they can accept it for their business."
Mad Bitcoins · Oct 15, 2013 · MB_20131015_wwZK7X-DoEE.txt
The QR-tattoo prediction comes two sentences later in the same segment:
"…we are well on our way to a future, where a beautiful girl gets a QR code tattoo so that patrons can just scan her right thigh to send her Bitcoins directly. It's gonna be a brave, new world." Same source
"Pole Force 1, a new video game about a pissed off feminist strip club owner who dresses like a Japanese schoolgirl and likes to beat up pimps who abuse her hose, is on its way after raising three Bitcoins on Bitcoins starter. […] Congratulations Pole Force 1 and congratulations Bitcoin for being a successful way for independent game designers to raise capital and make the game of their dreams. Even if that dream involves side-scrolling stripper fighting action."
Mad Bitcoins · Dec 2, 2013 · MB_20131202_jYnpgVzEIQ0.txt
"Veritell, the Internet Payment Service Provider for High Risk Merchants, announced today that it has started to accept Bitcoin with BitPay. […] All Bitcoin tells the merchant is that you paid, and then you get access to whatever you want. Even porn."
Mad Bitcoins · Jan 13, 2014 · MB_20140113_13XHHAIQkI0.txt
"First, it was Veritell with its 50,000 porn sites, and now its wicked pictures, who plans to fully embrace Bitcoin in the year 2014, and expects the competition to follow. First, we take pornography. Then we take the world."
Mad Bitcoins · Jan 15, 2014 · MB_20140115_4zQB_yM4HeY.txt
"The future of adult entertainment strippers now accept Bitcoin via QR code tattoos. As predicted by mad bitcoins more than five years ago, strippers, sorry, adult entertainment professionals, can now accept Bitcoin directly at the legend's room in Las Vegas using temporary QR code tattoos."
Thomas Hunt · Today In Bitcoin · Apr 1, 2018 · WCN_20180401_O2fX6AKJv1E.txt
"Adult entertainment professionals say they prefer accepting Bitcoin because there are certain banks that will shut down your account and actually deny you from having an account because you work in the adult entertainment industry, says Summer Chase, adult entertainment professional. And yes, that is her real name, psh, obviously." Same episode
October 2013 → April 2018 is four and a half years, not "more than five" — but the 2018 callback is unambiguously this prediction, and the specific mechanism (QR code, scan, accept Bitcoin direct from the patron, no card processor) is the same. Mad Bitcoins called the use case before the hardware existed to do it cleanly. The Vegas geography and the late-2017 mania peak make this Thomas's de-facto Bitcoin-Miami-2018 coverage, just relocated.
The only first-person account in the corpus of what a Bitcoin Miami conference actually felt like, as a social event, is delivered from stage at the Texas Bitcoin Conference, Austin, October 30, 2015. The speaker is Michelle Seven — known on Twitter as "Bitcoin Belle" — reminiscing about her first conference, in Miami, c. 2013–2014.
"…my first Bitcoin conference was a couple years ago, and I learned about Bitcoin in 2011, but I went to my first conference down in Miami, and I was really surprised because I was thinking that I'd see just a bunch of guys in T-shirt. I thought I'd see all y'all. And what instead I saw were naked dancing girls. And that was kind of weird. I know that's exciting."
Michelle Seven (Bitcoin Belle) · Texas Bitcoin Conference panel · Oct 30, 2015 · MB_20151030_24flZdmlmCQ.txt
The MC introducing her on the same panel is unsparing:
"…So she has a way of kicking up dirt. If you want entertainment, follow her on Twitter, it's Bitcoin Belle. And we just want to thank you for it. Really sweet. Michelle Seven, Bitcoin Belle is a disaster. She has no filter whatsoever." Texas Bitcoin Conference panel intro · same source
That single quote is the most direct first-person testimony anywhere in the corpus that NABC's early years were programmed as adult entertainment.
Mad Bitcoins' own pre-trip framing of NABC 2015, a week before he went down, ran in the same register — a Will Smith reference dropped into the daily news read:
"Paycoin, the altcoin with a $20 floor, will be given the floor this weekend in Miami, Florida, where they party in the club where the heat is on all night on the beach to the break of dawn. Even in the winter, I sure hope so, because mad bitcoins will be attending the Miami Bitcoin conference thanks to the support of Lazycoins."
Mad Bitcoins · Jan 15, 2015 · MB_20150115_CiHebmis5YU.txt
Thomas Hunt, on TBG #202 from the Barcelona trading conference, July 12, 2019:
"I interviewed the tallest women in cryptocurrency look at that uh I'm a normal height around five ten they must be at least seven foot uh incredibly tall […] here's the dance floor at a bitcoin convention yeah it's empty and upstairs we had it's full of finance guys my god it's full of finance guys and that's pretty much what happened at the convention it's full of finance guys."
Thomas Hunt · The Bitcoin Group #202 · Jul 12, 2019 · TBG-202.txt
By mid-2019, the Bitcoin conference dance floor is empty and the suits are upstairs. The party-floor era didn't last.
There's a recurring argument across the franchise that the adult industry's adoption of Bitcoin wasn't just a punchline — it was the proof of the privacy-rail thesis. The 2014 Veritell story is one half of it; the TBG panel reviving it almost eight years later is the other.
On November 22, 2021, a special-issue TBG segment replays the original 2014 Veritell news read and opens it to the panel:
"Veritell launches Bitcoin with BitPay. Veritell is a registered payment institute for high risk merchants, including adult entertainment webmasters. Bitcoin can now be used to buy adult entertainment online anonymously, servicing more than 50,000 online businesses, aka porn sites." TBG news read · Nov 22, 2021 ·WCN_20211122_ESVB0JzT-8E.txt· alsoTBG-012.txt
MK Lords reacts:
"…porn and Bitcoin, that seems like perfect." MK Lords · same episode
Will Pangman makes the privacy-rail argument explicit:
"It's not a crime to enjoy some of these indulgences, and a lot of people would like to preserve their privacy from friends, family, their job, their co-workers, their bosses, their future employers." Will Pangman · same episode
A speaker discussing San Diego Bitcoin Meetup plans introduces the same argument from the perspective of the sex workers themselves:
"I am going to be speaking with MK Lords at the San Diego Bitcoin Meetup, and we're going to talk about more radical ways, including, we've been reading a lot of discussions by sex workers. One of the things is that people can have sexual privacy if they want to hire the services of an escort or something they can do this, and this transaction not only is private on the customer's end, but also on the sex service end."
WCN · Mar 18, 2016 · WCN_20160318_VwEnrKYqZI0.txt
A re-uploaded panelist (early Bitcoin Group material, March 21, 2022 re-upload):
"Recently, it was announced that they've been cracking down on some of the accounts for women who spent porn and I'd love to see more sex workers taking Bitcoin. I'd love to see a lot more of these businesses taking Bitcoin, especially guns." TBG ·WCN_20220321_qtoNr-flhSw.txt· alsoTBG-029.txt
And by 2024, the same framing — Operation Choke Point as the through-line — names crypto itself as the target:
"Choke point 1.0 was used against back page and Craigslist and sex workers. Things that the government did not like. They believe there is a 2.0 being used against crypto."
TBG news read · TBG-414.txt
The through-line across these eight years is consistent: the adult industry was the first set of merchants legitimate enough to be deplatformed by mainstream finance, Bitcoin gave them a rail, and the panel uses that history to predict that what got done to sex workers in 2014 would get done to crypto users in 2024.
Will Pangman's TBG-026 speech was not isolated. The archive contains roughly a decade of recurring "where are the women" conversations, mostly framed as a we don't have enough of them and we should think about why line of argument. The earliest sustained on-tape conversation about it lands four months later, on MK Lords's Crypto Combos.
Murphy describes the specific mechanics of how conferences end up all-male — venue cost arbitrage:
"I remember there was this one Bitcoin conference that invited me to speak and um they basically had like 34 or 33 male speakers every single one of them was a dude and they invited me to speak and then I said well can you you know like can you pay my travel cost because it was like a long last way to go there it was in Europe and they were like no we can't do that and so it's like seriously you've got 33 male speakers and you can't even buy a plane ticket for the one woman that you want to speak."
Stephanie Murphy · Crypto Combos #3 (MK Lords, host) · Aug 13, 2014 · WCN_20140820_ArZGtT996sA.txt
Murphy names the workaround Connie Gallippi had already built by mid-2014:
"Connie Gallippi has been awesome like she has a list of female speakers that she sends to conferences and says look you need to invite these ladies to speak um they're all really talented and have stuff to say." Same source
The bluntest later episode is TBG #331 — titled "Price Up — Women — Old Coins — Anonymous Satoshi", broadcast November 4, 2022, with Martin W. of General Bytes and Dan Eve (the Crypto Raptor) on the panel.
"…that's probably very regional I think in the in check Republic and in Prague for example it's it's very much a healthy mix of men and women but yeah if you go to any any Bitcoin conference is usually more like a sausage fest."
Martin W. · TBG #331 · Nov 4, 2022 · TBG-331.txt
"…our show here which I think is pretty general and down the line maybe a little boring sometimes but it's 95% men we are just drowning in sausage here so really talk about any intention or whatever it may be but as it is people are women no no offense men are not interested in this talking show so I don't know how we're going to get them interested in Bitcoin." Thomas Hunt · same episode
"…articles like loads of them especially from like is it advice something that they're always like they always have something that's like crypto bros or Bitcoin bros they genderize it and maybe that scares women off actually instead of making women more likely to get into Bitcoin they see these these articles that just go all the Bitcoin bros and the mupin macho men […] who wants to be around a bunch of Bitcoin bros." Dan Eve · same episode
"It's always been, this has always been my criticism of flight. There's not enough women in Bitcoin. So the note free and open source software. If women want to get in, they get in. If men want to get in, if people with blue hair want to get in, it doesn't matter. Well, I can't stop them and I shouldn't. And that's the beauty."
Josh Scigala · TBG #436 · Dec 28, 2024 · TBG-436.txt
"…part of open source money is the fact that anybody can do anything with it. That's why the whole ridiculous notion of more women in Bitcoin, you know, demoing against, like anyone can come in. Women can come in, men can come in, maybe not dogs."
Josh Scigala · TBG #451 · Apr 19, 2025 · TBG-451.txt
The two Scigala quotes show the position the show ultimately landed on: a libertarian Bitcoin is permissionless, the door is open framing, taken as the answer to "why aren't there more women in Bitcoin." Whether you find that answer convincing is its own question; what's on tape is that the show kept returning to the question for a full decade.
The single most damning quote in the archive about a named Bitcoin figure and sex is Mad Bitcoins reporting, in May 2014, on the controversy over Brock Pierce's election to the Bitcoin Foundation board — broadcast nine months before NABC 2015 and a full year before Pierce stood at the center of the conference circuit.
"Bitcoin Foundation hit by resignations over new director. More drama from the Bitcoin Foundation as the election of child star, Brock Pierce, has caused a series of resignations with those upset over the mighty duck stars past, which includes accusations of giving drugs to minors and pressuring them for sex. And we're not talking about Bitcoin minors."
Mad Bitcoins · May 19, 2014 · MB_20140519_Kvj4GmvyBmk.txt
The next day, Mad Bitcoins covers Pierce's response:
"Defiant Brock Pierce to Bitcoin Foundation. I will not step down. The mighty duck star is starring in his own movie, responding to trolls who continue to bring up his questionable past everywhere he goes, but he got the votes, so he's on the foundation."
Mad Bitcoins · May 20, 2014 · MB_20140520_xc9PvNrozKw.txt
The same week, TBG #31 puts the news to a panel of Chris Ellis, Kristov Atlas, and MK Lords — with the Bitcoin Foundation, Great Foundation or the Greatest Foundation? exit question. MK Lords takes the most uncompromising line on the politics, separately from the Pierce-specific charges:
"This is something I have to do more research on. […] As far as the Brock Pierce, I don't know the details of what he's done or why people have such a negative reaction towards him. But I do think if you're going to claim to represent the members of the foundation, that their concern should be taken into account. […] But do we need more people lobbying for politicians or do we need more people helping the rest of the world?" MK Lords · TBG · May 2014 ·TBG-031.txt· alsoWCN_20220404_KvZVuJ6A76w.txt
The "accusations" Mad Bitcoins references in the news read above are the long-running allegations that surfaced during Pierce's DEN-era video-game-industry years (covered separately in mainstream outlets in the same period); the show repeats the allegation in its news-read voice without endorsing it. The show kept covering Pierce as a Bitcoin Foundation board member through the rest of 2014 and into 2015 — IDG investment, the Mt. Gox revival bid, the RealCoin / Tether predecessor launch — but the May 19 Pierce news read remains the clearest example anywhere in the corpus of the franchise treating a named, sitting Bitcoin Foundation board member as compromised on exactly the issue Will Pangman had named thirty-one days earlier on TBG #26.
A counter-pattern across the same decade: when the women in the corpus ran conferences and meetups themselves, the result was substantively different programming. Three episodes triangulate it — MK Lords at Bitcoin in the Beltway in DC, the reflection on the same conference five years later, and Justinia of Women in Blockchain Canada interviewed live from the Malta Blockchain Summit.
Mad Bitcoins finds her between sessions; she leads on the women-in-Afghanistan presentation, not the after-party:
"It's going great we've had a lot of people show up all the talks have been running really smoothly and yeah I think everyone's having a good time of being in a lot of positive feedback any highlights so far […] Elaha Mahboob did an awesome presentation on getting Bitcoin to women in Afghanistan and some of the other nonprofits that Elaha works with."
MK Lords · Mad Bitcoins live at Bitcoin in the Beltway · Jun 22, 2014 · MB_20140622_pt5L37azYjs.txt
A getting-Bitcoin-to-women-in-Afghanistan presentation as a featured session is not the same conference program as naked dancing girls. The contrast is the point.
"I remember one of the first conferences I went to was Bitcoin in the Beltway and my friend Megan Lords was running it and they had three tracks and they were all spread out and she was running room to room to room. Everything was on fire. The PA system didn't work. People canceled. People were late. People didn't show up. The food was bad."
WCN · Sep 25, 2018 · WCN_20180925_gmdyW7H4w_U.txt
This is the longest single block of female-conference-organizer testimony in the corpus. She names what she's seeing on the floor:
"I just want to make sure that there's some female representation of this conference. You know what I mean? I've seen quite a few females, but they seem to work at the booths, but not know anything about the booths. I came up and asked them some questions. They said, I'm very sorry. I can't talk to you."
Justinia · Women in Blockchain Canada · Malta Blockchain Summit · Dec 18, 2018 · WCN_20181218_28f1yr_yf2Q.txt
On her own meetup's demographics:
"My audience is about 97% male. I don't think I could make it more male if I tried to. We hung up no girls allowed signs for a while. But the 3% just keep coming back." Same source
And on the workaround she ran — re-engineering the venue itself:
"So one of the things that I noticed in the city that I actually live in is that all these meet-ups are technical. So what I tried to do instead is I made a meet-up at a warehouse and I brought Cambucha and I was like, look, let's just be hipster. Let's be real. Let's target the millennials. So I wanted to have a place that was not intimidating and that was inviting to the female audience." Same source
"Invest Ottawa came up to me after the event and they said, what? We didn't even know you existed." Same source
Justinia closes the segment with a shout to Naomi Brockwell as a peer in the same work — the most direct on-tape pairing of Brockwell with women-organizer programming anywhere in the local archive.
A few first-person observations from Mad Bitcoins, Thomas Hunt, and the TBG panel itself, organized by register. The host voice across these is consistent: the franchise observed the after-party scene, named the misogyny problem when a panelist surfaced it, and moved on — never quite editorializing against the culture, but also never quite endorsing it.
"…they party in the club where the heat is on all night on the beach to the break of dawn."
Mad Bitcoins · Jan 15, 2015 · MB_20150115_CiHebmis5YU.txt
"…here's the dance floor at a bitcoin convention yeah it's empty and upstairs we had it's full of finance guys my god it's full of finance guys."
Thomas Hunt · TBG #202 · Jul 12, 2019 · TBG-202.txt
"It's an excellent point, Will, and everyone should feel comfortable at Bitcoin meetups. That's not acceptable behavior."
Thomas Hunt · TBG #26 · Apr 18, 2014 · TBG-026.txt
"I met him of the introduction from Anthony back at the first Miami Bitcoin conference. […] We'd have three four or five of us all share in one motel eight room and sleeping on floors and couches and everything else."
Michael Dupri · Bitcoin ATM Schmoe Show #8 · Sep 26, 2019 · WCN_20190926_BrDzucx0JfE.txt
"It's comments about Perianne. She's in DC. I think she probably has a lot of insider knowledge of what the DC and the regulation crowd is thinking on this. She's also launching, if I'm not mistaken, I believe she's launching her own lobbying group to kind of get on the positive side of the regulators."
MK Lords · TBG #40 · TBG-040.txt
The Perianne Boring item is the corpus's clearest read of a female-led DC lobbying organization being given oxygen by the panel — even when the panelists explicitly disagree with the lobbying strategy.
"Honestly, I think bitcoins might actually make Vegas palatable to me and make me want to visit it and not just have to visit it for conferences. Hang on. No, it's not going to make it palatable. It's still Vegas. Then I might scratch that last one."
TBG panel · WCN_20211206_iLSdXRlAKm8.txt (pre-NABC 2014 episode)
"I always wondered, like how do people tip strippers in Canada? Right? Because they don't have dollar Canadian bills. They only have coins."
TBG #117 panel banter · TBG-117.txt
By 2026 the Bitcoin conference center of gravity has moved to Vegas, the keynotes are institutional, and the AI-infrastructure side track has more attendees than the after-party. The transition is on TBG's tape as early as mid-2024 — and the speaker who names it is the same one Will Pangman cited a decade earlier.
"10 years ago, a Bitcoin conference was about […] speaking to 10 people, maybe, at best. And now you get two out of three presidential candidates from the United States going on stage at a Bitcoin conference saying, yeah, I like Bitcoin."
Andreas Antonopoulos · The Bitcoin Group · Jul 15, 2024 · WCN_20240715_PbfSI1JqTms.txt
That is the same Andreas who was, a decade earlier, the source of the we have a misogyny problem framing Will Pangman brought back from Toronto. Both readings — that Bitcoin's conference scene got bigger, and that it got cleaner along the way — coexist on the same tape.
What changed isn't that the strippers stopped existing. The pole-on-stage NABC of Michelle Seven's 2013-or-2014 recollection no longer maps to the corporate-keynote NABC of 2026, and the after-party that does still exist has moved out of the convention center and onto the unofficial side events, where it mostly belongs.
The franchise's own most laconic verdict on the Bitcoin Miami era, folded into a digression about basketball:
"…I've never met Tony Hawk, I did see John Sally at Bitcoin Miami and he is very, very tall. So he's definitely an NBA player, he's legit." Thomas Hunt · The Bitcoin Group · Jul 15, 2024 · same source
That, in the end, is the cleanest summary line the corpus offers. Bitcoin Miami was the conference where you might bump into a 7-foot ex-NBA forward. The other thing it was — the thing Bitcoin Belle described from stage in Austin, the thing Will Pangman tried to name on TBG #26, the thing Brock Pierce embodied in the news reads of May 2014 — is also on tape, and is the part this report has tried to keep on the record.
Will Pangman's TBG #26 speech explicitly attributes the framing to Andreas. The Andreas original — wherever he first said it — is not in this local corpus as a direct quote. Documented here for follow-up.
andreas.*(sex|sexualiz|sexism|harass|misogyn|inappropri) — across 600+ Mad Bitcoins, 1,500+ WCN, and 482 TBG episodes: produced the Will Pangman TBG-026 hit and one Chris Ellis 2014 Bitcoin Talk Show passage about "sexualizing" the dollar-collapse fantasy (unrelated context); no direct Andreas-attributed speech.
(sex|harass|misogyn).*andreas: same set of hits.
Search of episodes where Andreas was a panelist: yielded plenty of Andreas content on permissionless finance, decentralization, and conference attendance — but not the specific community-ethics remarks Will Pangman is referencing.
The most likely uncovered source is Andreas's own talks at the Toronto Bitcoin Expo in April 2014, the Bitcoin Foundation members meeting earlier that month, and Q&A sessions on his personal channel from late 2013 through early 2014. Those episodes live on YouTube and on Andreas's own site; they have not been pulled into this local archive. If Thomas has a date or venue in mind, the right next step is a targeted YouTube pull from that window.
The NYC Consensus 2018 yacht / Wolf-of-Wall-Street coverage; the Anarchapulco Naomi Brockwell / Jeff Berwick subplot; ETHDenver controversies; the John McAfee escort coverage (referenced in passing in TBG-135.txt, TBG-231.txt, TBG-257.txt, TBG-260.txt, TBG-264.txt, but not in the what happened with the women around McAfee register). The corpus contains the names; it does not contain the substantive narrative of those particular incidents the way it contains the Brock Pierce or Veritell ones.
The TBG #26 episode is preserved on disk twice — once under its hyphen-numbered TBG file (TBG-026.txt) and once under a re-upload (WCN_20220228_nqwt0SwDxgo.txt). Both contain the Pangman speech verbatim. This is provenance redundancy in the archive's favor, not duplication.
