New Gurus: 7. Bitcoin FC


Listen Later

When Peter McCormack made a fortune investing in Bitcoin, he knew exactly how to spend it - buying his local football team. Helen Lewis travels to the ground of Real Bedford FC, where you can buy a half-time bacon butty in Bitcoin, to hear whether McCormack’s faith has been shaken by the "crypto winter".

How are McCormack and other crypto gurus like Layah Heilpern keeping the faith as the price of Bitcoin tumbles?

The New Gurus is a series about looking for enlightenment in the digital world.
