235 - Play Fiat Games and Win Fiat Prizes
<p>McIntosh and Kenshin 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.

Episode 234 - Thankful for Bitcoin
<p>In this Thanksgiving-themed episode, McIntosh and Kenshin discuss what they're thankful for regarding Bitcoin. They reflect on their gratitude lists from the previous year and share new perspectives, including appreciation for Bitcoin's educational value in economics, its ability to encourage long-term thinking, and the growing possibility of it becoming a neutral global reserve currency. They also discuss local Bitcoin meetups, recent market volatility showing over 8% of Bitcoin moving in the last seven days, and current price action following a significant draw down from October's all-time high. The hosts debate whether Bitcoin remains in a bull market or has entered a bear phase, with differing perspectives on what patterns suggest for the future.<br /><br /><strong>Bitcoin Price at Time of Recording</strong><br /><br />Nov 5th, 2025: $86,800 USD | 74,900 Euro<br /><br /><strong>Block Height at Time of Recording</strong><br /><br />925,159<br /><br /><strong>Episode Page</strong><br /><br /><a href="https://satoshis-plebs.com/episode-234" target="_blank">https://satoshis-plebs.com/episode-234</a><br /><strong><br />Music Credits</strong><br /><br /><a href="https://wavlake.com/joemartin" target="_blank">Joe Martin</a><br />The Jetsons<br /><br /><br /><br /></p> <p><strong>Website<br /></strong><br /><a href="https://satoshis-plebs.com" target="_blank">https://satoshis-plebs.com</a><a href="https://satoshis-plebs.com/" target="_blank"><br /></a><br />Podcasting 2.0 Apps available at <a href="http://podcastapps.com" target="_blank">http://podcastapps.com</a> and Value4Value information page available here: <a href="https://value4value.info" target="_blank">https://value4value.info</a><a href="https://value4value.info/" target="_blank"><br /></a><br />McIntosh can be reached by email at [email protected] and on Twitter at <a href="https://x.com/McIntoshFinTech" target="_blank">@McIntoshFinTech</a>.

Episode 233 - Save That File!
<p>In this episode, McIntosh and Kenshin dive into the current Bitcoin market conditions and whether we're heading into a bear market. With Bitcoin hovering around $83,000—down roughly 34% from its all-time high—the hosts debate what historical patterns suggest versus what unique factors might be at play this cycle. They discuss the impact of ETF selling pressure (including BlackRock's record outflows), institutional buying from El Salvador and MicroStrategy, and the macroeconomic forces that could shape Bitcoin's trajectory in the coming months. <br />The conversation touches on potential U.S. monetary policy shifts, the effectiveness of recent economic measures, and why the hosts believe DCA remains the smartest strategy regardless of short-term price action. Whether you're nervous about the dip or seeing it as a buying opportunity, this episode offers perspective on staying grounded during volatile times.<br /><br /><strong>Bitcoin Price at Time of Recording</strong><br /><br />Nov 21st, 2025: $83,500 USD | 72,500 Euro<br /><br /><strong>Block Height at Time of Recording</strong><br /><br />924,609<br /><br /><strong>Episode Page</strong><br /><br /><a href="https://satoshis-plebs.com/episode-233" target="_blank">https://satoshis-plebs.com/episode-233</a><br /><br /><strong>Music Credits</strong><br /><br /><a href="https://wavlake.com/joemartin" target="_blank">Joe Martin</a><br />The Jetsons</p> <p><strong>Website<br /></strong><br /><a href="https://satoshis-plebs.com" target="_blank">https://satoshis-plebs.com</a><a href="https://satoshis-plebs.com/" target="_blank"><br /></a><br />Podcasting 2.0 Apps available at <a href="http://podcastapps.com" target="_blank">http://podcastapps.com</a> and Value4Value information page available here: <a href="https://value4value.info" target="_blank">https://value4value.info</a><a href="https://value4value.info/" target="_blank"><br /></a><br />McIntosh can be reached by email at [email protected] and on Twitter at <a href="https://x.com/McIntoshFinTech" target="_blank">@McIntoshFinTech</a>.

Episode 232 - The Quantum Leap
<p>In this episode, hosts McIntosh and Kenshin 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.<a href="https://bitref.com/nodes/" target="_blank"><br /></a><br /><strong>Bitcoin Price at Time of Recording</strong><br /><br />Nov 5th, 2025: $104,436 USD | 90,800 euro<br /><br /><strong>Block Height at Time of Recording</strong><br /><br />922,362<br /><br /><strong>Episode Page</strong><br /><br /><a href="https://satoshis-plebs.com/episode-232" target="_blank">https://satoshis-plebs.com/episode-232</a><br /><br /><strong>Music Credits</strong><br /><br /><a href="https://wavlake.com/joemartin" target="_blank">Joe Martin</a><br />The Jetsons<br /><br /><br /></p> <p><strong>Website<br /></strong><br /><a href="https://satoshis-plebs.com" target="_blank">https://satoshis-plebs.com</a><a href="https://satoshis-plebs.com/" target="_blank"><br /></a><br />Podcasting 2.0 Apps available at <a href="http://podcastapps.com" target="_blank">http://podcastapps.com</a> and Value4Value information page available here: <a href="https://value4value.info" target="_blank">https://value4value.info</a><a href="https://value4value.info/" target="_blank"><br /></a><br />McIntosh can be reached by email at [email protected] and on Twitter at <a href="https://x.com/McIntoshFinTech" target="_blank">@McIntoshFinTech</a>.
