👋 Hello Nostr 💜, the 243rd episode of Satoshi’s Plebs podcast is out now!

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

This week @Kenshin 🥷 and @McIntosh 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, @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.

👋 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: @Kenshin 🥷 & @McIntosh 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.

👋 Hello Nostr 💜, the 240th episode of Satoshi’s Plebs podcast is out now!

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

👋 GM & Merry Christmas Nostr 🎄💜, the 238rd episode of Satoshi’s Plebs podcast is out now!

Episode 238: Were We Wrong About Bitcoin in 2025?

In this year-end review episode, we ( @Kenshin 🥷 & @McIntosh ) 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 237: The Fed’s Chairman Speaks - Does Bitcoin Care?
In this episode of Satoshi's Plebs, @Kenshin 🥷 & @McIntosh discuss the IMF's influence over El Salvador's Bitcoin adoption, exploring how international financial institutions exert control over sovereign nations through monetary policy.

The hosts also debate different forms of governance, from monarchies to democracies, and their long-term impacts on nations and families. Along the way, they cover personal updates including Kenshin's unexpected ban from Claude AI, mining developments in China, Japan's massive stimulus budget, and various Bitcoin ecosystem updates.
