About The Bitcoin Bugle

The Bugle Weekly Podcast was launched to ensure the PODCONF (Podcast/Conference) Industrial Complex is stopped. Hosts Rod Palmer and Dick Greaser break down the most important news items of this week, and talk strategy on how to defeat the state as well as the PODCONF Industrial Complex.

In this episode of Sunset Circuit, we dive deep into the world of Bitcoin art, Fake Rares, meme culture, and on-chain creativity with legendary crypto-artist Rare Scrilla. From the origins of Pepe culture to the evolution of Fake Rares, Scrilla breaks down how artists are redefining digital ownership on Bitcoin - and why decentralization matters more than ever.

We explore:

• How Bitcoin became a home for underground art movements
• The rise of Pepe culture and why it refuses to die
• The full story behind Fake Rares and how it changed crypto art
• Scrilla’s creative process, influences, and philosophy
• Why Bitcoin art stays resilient through bear markets
• Thoughts on ordinals, provenance, and what’s next for on-chain art
• The intersection of music, memes, and money in Scrilla’s work

Whether you’re deep in the Bitcoin art scene or just curious about how memes shaped an entire creative economy, this episode is a perfect entry point.
