Wrap Your Corn is an advocacy campaign, reachable at wrapyourcorn.org, that argues against the expulsion of shitcoiners from the Bitcoin economy on the grounds that somebody has to wrap the corn. It is known from a single ad read in The Future is Wrapped (27 January 2025), delivered by four unnamed voices rather than a host.

The read is built as a public-service announcement: shitcoiners are cast as a migrant labour force performing “jobs that people who can afford taxes do not wanna do,”¹ and the campaign asks for “a pathway for shit who are willing to do the dirty work.”² The threat it organises against is a proposed eradication of “the shitcoiners who can’t afford their taxes”³ — a plank the beats associate with the Trump crypto saga and Donald Trump, though the ad itself names no politician.

Its central question became the episode’s catchphrase: “If we expel all the shitcoiners, who will wrap our Bitcoin?”⁴ The campaign’s stated end is not tolerance for its own sake but solvency — the ad closes on the ambition that everyone be able to afford taxes⁵ before directing listeners to “Visit wrapyourcorn.org”.⁶ It is, in that sense, less a defence of paper Bitcoin than a labour argument for it, and it sits against the maximalist position catalogued under Maxi Madness and the collection apparatus of the IRS tax farm.

Henry’s note: the ad’s satirical target — the immigration debate, transposed wholesale onto shitcoiners — is legible but never stated. The reading above is inference from structure. No second appearance of the campaign is on record.

irl: wrapyourcorn.org is a fictional URL read on air. Wrapped Bitcoin is a real instrument; the campaign is not.
