Satoshi's Plebs

👋 Hello Nostr 💜, the 251st (and last) episode of Satoshi’s Plebs podcast is out now!

Episode 251: Where Do We Go From Here?

For the final episode of Satoshi’s Plebs,

and

reflect on the journey of the show, their enduring conviction in Bitcoin, and the reality that life, work, and new ventures have made it impossible to keep the podcast going at the level it deserves. They talk about the current Bitcoin landscape, from falling hash rate and mining companies pivoting to AI, to renewed ETF activity and the growing role of Bitcoin in global trade. Throughout it all, their message stays the same: Bitcoin remains a long-term savings technology, and their belief in it has only grown stronger.

The heart of the episode is the goodbye. They share that ending the show is not a step away from Bitcoin, but a necessary choice as they pour their time into new projects, including Arx Labs and a new AI-focused podcast, The AI Strategy Show, launching April 30. They thank listeners for the support, the boosts, the time, and the sense of community that made the podcast special. It is a warm, grateful closing to a show that became much more than just a weekly Bitcoin conversation.

👋 Hello Nostr 💜, the 250th episode of Satoshi’s Plebs podcast is out now!

Episode 250: Celebration!!!

Episode 250 of Satoshi’s Plebs is a milestone show and a bit of a release party, as

and

pull back the curtain on a new AI-focused business venture: Arx Labs. The conversation centers on the opportunity they see in bringing practical, managed AI agents to small and medium-sized businesses in a way that is simple, affordable, and actually usable for non-technical people. They also reflect on the current state of open-source AI tooling, the fast-moving nature of the market, and why this moment feels like the right time to start building.

Along the way, the episode keeps the familiar Satoshi’s Plebs spirit, with some Bitcoin housekeeping, a nod to listener support, and a reminder that Bitcoin and innovation still go hand in hand. Even though it is a shorter episode, it feels like an important one: part celebration, part announcement, and part encouragement for listeners to keep stacking sats, keep building, and take advantage of the new tools now becoming available.

👋 Hello Nostr 💜, the 249th episode of Satoshi’s Plebs podcast is out now!

Episode 249: Building with Bitcoin: If You Started a Business Today

In this episode

and

talk through what it actually looks like to start building a business from scratch in a world shaped by both Bitcoin and AI. The conversation stays practical and grounded, covering the excitement of new ideas, the frustration of getting tools and workflows to behave reliably, and the reality that building something useful is usually messier and slower than people like to admit.

They also dig into the bigger picture of what kinds of businesses might make sense going forward, especially ones built around Bitcoin payments, Lightning, sovereignty, and automation. Along the way, they reflect on common reasons Bitcoin-focused projects struggle, why user experience still matters, and how AI may lower the barrier for individuals and small teams to launch real products. The result is a thoughtful discussion about opportunity, timing, and what it takes to turn an idea into something sustainable.

👋 Hello Nostr 💜, the 248th episode of Satoshi’s Plebs podcast is out now!

Episode 248: Bitcoin for Merchants: Getting Started with Settlement Rails

In this episode of Satoshi’s Plebs

and

explore how Bitcoin is reshaping the payment landscape for merchants and consumers, focusing on the concept of “settlement rails” and what happens behind the scenes when money moves. They break down traditional systems like credit cards, ACH, and wire transfers—highlighting fees, delays, intermediaries, and chargebacks—before contrasting them with Bitcoin’s base layer and the Lightning Network, where transactions can be faster, cheaper, and final. The conversation makes a compelling case for why merchants should care, from reducing fees to gaining more control over their revenue.

Along the way, the hosts share practical insights on getting started with Bitcoin as a business, including custodial vs. self-custodial setups, tools like BTCPay Server, and real-world tradeoffs like volatility, UX challenges, and accounting hurdles. They also touch on broader themes like financial sovereignty, the evolving role of AI in their workflows, and the importance of education and adoption at the local merchant level. The episode blends technical depth with real-world perspective, offering a grounded look at what it actually takes to bring Bitcoin into everyday commerce.

Episode 247: Bitcoin Milestones & Cypherpunk Roots

This week

and

reflect on a major Bitcoin milestone and use it as a jumping-off point for a broader conversation about where Bitcoin came from and why its foundations still matter. Along the way, they mix in some personal updates, thoughts on technology, and the bigger picture of how digital tools are changing the way we live and work.

The discussion then turns to the Cypherpunk Manifesto and the lasting importance of privacy, encryption, and individual freedom in an increasingly digital world. The episode connects those earlier ideas to Bitcoin today, exploring how questions of money, privacy, and control remain just as relevant now as ever.

Episode 246: Stacking Sats in the Bear: Build, Don’t Bleed

This week

and

check in and talk about navigating the bear market with a clear head—how to think about volatility, keep perspective, and stay focused on stacking and building instead of stressing over day-to-day price swings. They also touch on how Bitcoin has been behaving in broader markets and why that doesn’t necessarily change the long-term thesis.

They wrap with a few updates from the week, some thoughts on where tech and privacy are heading, and the usual network stats before closing out with a music pick and a reminder to stay humble and keep stacking.

Episode 243: Multisig: Don’t Trust Yourself With One Key

This week

and

break down Bitcoin multisig: what it is, why it exists, and how it reduces single points of failure in self-custody. They walk through common setups (1-of-2, 2-of-2, 2-of-3, 3-of-5), why complexity is both a feature and a risk, and best practices like geographic distribution, avoiding single-vendor signer risk, and testing recovery before you commit meaningful funds.

The guys also touch on the rise of AI “agent” tooling (and why you should be careful with security/permissions), then close with market/news items including Helix mixer seizure headlines, state-level Bitcoin reserve chatter, current BTC price levels, and mining stats (difficulty adjustment / blocks behind).

👋 Hello Nostr 💜, the 242nd episode of Satoshi’s Plebs podcast is out now!

Episode 242: Bitcoin is for the Unbanked: When Banks Fail, Bitcoin Works

In Episode 242 of Satoshi’s Plebs,

&

talk through how Bitcoin serves the unbanked—people with little or no access to traditional banking due to geography, documentation, KYC/AML barriers, profit-driven gatekeeping, political targeting, and capital controls. They frame Bitcoin’s core advantage as permissionless access: it doesn’t care who you are or where you live—only whether you control your keys.

They keep it honest by covering the hurdles too: education, infrastructure, custody risks, and volatility. The episode closes with a dignity-focused point: giving someone in a remote village the ability to securely save and transact can change their long-term outlook and put them on a more level playing field globally.

👋 Hello Nostr 💜, the 241st episode of Satoshi’s Plebs podcast is out now!

Episode 241: Do You Have a Long Term View? Episode 241 is a “look back to look forward” kind of conversation:

&

talk through a rough week, the grind of finishing projects, and the mental toll of doom-and-gloom news cycles—then deliberately pivot to a more optimistic, long-term lens. McIntosh also shares early progress on a new open-source side project: a Nostr-powered, end-to-end encrypted “email-like” messaging concept that adds tiny Satoshi payments to discourage spam and compensate the servers relaying/storing messages.

From there, the episode zooms out into Bitcoin perspective. Using their own episode archive as a timeline, they revisit key moments from 2021–2022 to underline the core message: ignore the panic, keep a low time preference, and DCA—especially when sentiment is bleak. They close with the usual metrics (price, market caps, hash rate/difficulty notes, halving countdown), a listener boost, and a reminder to support the show via value-for-value and reviews.

Episode 240: Still Running Bitcoin Episode 240 is a wide-ranging catch-up that turns into a love letter to “running Bitcoin”.

&

swap life updates (including Kenshin’s push to launch a new project and McIntosh’s experiments with ChatGPT/Codex), then McIntosh shares a big workflow win: an automated script that pulls episode data straight from the RSS feed to generate the show’s episode pages—turning a manual, repetitive task into a quick, repeatable process.

From there, the conversation pivots into Bitcoin history and self-sovereignty, using Hal Finney’s famous “Running Bitcoin” post as the jumping-off point. They break down why nodes matter, what it means to run one (including Bitcoin Core vs. Knots, Electrum indexing, and Tor vs. clearnet), and compare their own setups—StartOS, DIY server setups, and newer projects like Nirvati/Yantra. They close with news and notes on Europe’s push toward a digital euro and tightening “travel rule” compliance, plus examples of Bitcoin and decentralized communication tools being used amid censorship and unrest—reinforcing the episode’s core theme: running your own infrastructure is how you reclaim privacy, resilience, and freedom.

Episode 238: Were We Wrong About Bitcoin in 2025?

In this year-end review episode, we (

&

) take an honest look at our 2025 predictions and how they held up against reality. Bitcoin started the year around $94k with high expectations, hit $122k in October, but closed near $87k - not quite the moonshot we anticipated. The institutional adoption we were excited about brought mixed results, with Wall Street playing their own games rather than simply pumping the price. We reflect on what went right and wrong this year - from the disappointing lack of meaningful progress on the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve to the continued regulatory challenges in Europe. Despite missing our price targets, the fundamentals remain strong and adoption continues to grow.

Episode 235: Play Fiat Games and Win Fiat Prizes

In this episode of Satoshi’s Plebs,

&

explore the dangerous world of “fiat games” and their consequences across global markets. They discuss Cardano’s spectacular collapse after an AI-assisted coding error split the blockchain, triggering FBI involvement, and celebrate Texas becoming the first US state to actually purchase Bitcoin with $5M in iBit ETF. The Federal Reserve’s pivot back to quantitative easing with a liquidity injection draws parallels to COVID-era money printing that launched Bitcoin from $3,800 to $29,000. The Japan carry trade unwind takes center stage as rising interest rates force massive deleveraging, with Bitcoin serving as the “canary in coal mine” through overnight liquidations. The episode explores Austrian versus Keynesian economics and sobering statistics from https://wtfhappenedin1971.com showing how abandoning the gold standard distorted everything from housing affordability (average first-time buyer now age 40) to soup prices—proving that playing fiat games only wins you fiat prizes.

In this episode of Satoshi's Plebs,

&

explore whether quantum computing poses a real threat to Bitcoin. They discuss findings from the Presidio Bitcoin Quantum Summit, where experts' concern about cryptographically relevant quantum computers arriving within 5-20 years increased after the event. However, the hosts emphasize this is not an imminent threat—current quantum computers are extremely expensive, error-prone, and nowhere near capable of breaking Bitcoin's cryptography. Solutions like BIP 360 are already being proposed to implement quantum-resistant algorithms when needed.

We have set up a lightning node for the Satoshi's Plebs podcast. There is one relatively smallish channel (150k sats) open ..but it's becoming clear that isn't going to be enough.

In testing we can stream but boosts greater than 800 sats fail consistently.

So..anyone want to open a channel? I can scrape together another 500,000 sats i think. I can go zero-fee if you want or we can talk about what you would like to have it set up.

I need boosts!!!!

McIntosh..

👋 GM Nostr, have a lovely Friday! The 201st episode of Satoshi’s Plebs podcast is out now!

In this episode we (

&

) dive into the recent ups and downs of Bitcoin’s price and explore why volatility has been so pronounced lately. Throughout, we stress the importance of long-term conviction, highlighting dollar-cost averaging (DCA) as a strategy to keep stacking sats without the emotional roller coaster.

Just wanted to take a quick minute. Apparently we have reached "level two" at our podcast host Podhome (https://Podhome.FM). Satoshi's Plebs has been using them since January of 2024 and it's been a pleasure. Any issues that we have encountered are resolved quickly by

. The tooling continues to evolve and has been very helpful for our growth. They have been a great supporter of Podcasting 2.0 as well which is great so that we can have transcriptions, chapters and streaming/boosting by our awesome listeners.

So..

gave us a coupon (PODHOME0024) that you can use to sign up for two free months. If you are looking for a host it's a great place! And of course.... we aren't getting any compensation for this. It's just a way to give back a little.
