Bitcoin Uncensored

Bitcoin Uncensored was a controversial podcast dedicated to the discussion of bitcoin created by Chris DeRose and Josh Unseth. The podcast aired from 2016 to 2017.

Critics have accused DeRose and Unseth of bullying, harassment and trolling, and have also characterized their approach as ‘toxic and flawed.’ However, the podcast sometimes included notable interviews, such as one with Trendon Shavers, the operator of investment business Bitcoin Savings and Trust, which was later prosecuted for operating as a ponzi scheme, and for which Shavers was convicted.
