About this episode

The episode features a conversation with Liz P about her experiences at the Phish shows and the Bitcoin conference in Vegas.

In this episode, we’re back on the chain with our first post-recap conversation featuring our friend Liz, fresh off two Phish-at-the-Sphere shows wrapped around the Bitcoin conference in Vegas. We trade stories about the magic of the Sphere visuals, seat vibes, and the joy of finding a “great section” that feels like a team. Liz recounts how her Saturday night turned a previously lukewarm stance on Phish into full-on enthusiasm, from prime-center seats with haptics to beehive visuals and hot-dog lore, plus serendipitous run-ins with old friends and brand-new ones. We also dig into the unexpected overlap between Bitcoiners and live-music diehards, the power of meetups, and how this Vegas run uniquely fused both worlds—creating a communal afterglow that’s still buzzing.  We get candid about set break meetups, side quests, sound quirks, favorite moments, and even the shared language of “Clown Town.” We celebrate Liz’s meetup crew winning a conference award, dream up future Bitcoiner pre-show meetups (NYC, anyone?), and imagine what a true “Bitcoin Phish summer tour” could look like. If you were there, this will feel like reliving it with friends; if you missed it, consider this…
