👋 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, @Kenshin 🥷 & @McIntosh 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.
