👋 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. 🔊 Listen and boost us on Fountain: https://fountain.fm/show/Ad0jCESW2B7R17uDQ1ki 🎧 Listen on your favourite app: https://episodes.fm/1582341312 📜 See our back catalogue: satoshis-plebs.com/episodes Bitcoin Price at Time of Recording Jan 28th, 2026: $88,981 USD | 74,466 Euro Block Height at Time of Recording 934,115 Episode Page https://satoshis-plebs.com/episode-241 Music Credits Joe Martin - Empty Passenger Seat #Bitcoin #podcast #v4v #value4value #GM #GN #Nostr #plebchain #plebs #grownostr #satoshisplebs

👋 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. 🔊 Listen and boost us on Fountain: https://fountain.fm/show/Ad0jCESW2B7R17uDQ1ki 🎧 Listen on your favourite app: https://episodes.fm/1582341312 📜 See our back catalogue: satoshis-plebs.com/episodes Bitcoin Price at Time of Recording Jan 20th, 2026: $89,800 USD | 76,500 Euro Block Height at Time of Recording 933,128 Episode Page https://satoshis-plebs.com/episode-241 Music Credits Joe Martin - Empty Passenger Seat #Bitcoin #podcast #v4v #value4value #GM #GN #Nostr #plebchain #plebs #grownostr #satoshisplebs

👋 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”. & 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. 🔊 Listen and boost us on Fountain: https://fountain.fm/show/Ad0jCESW2B7R17uDQ1ki 🎧 Listen on your favourite app: https://episodes.fm/1582341312 📜 See our back catalogue: satoshis-plebs.com/episodes Bitcoin Price at Time of Recording Jan 13th, 2025: $94,180 USD | 80,800 Euro Block Height at Time of Recording 932,159 Episode Page https://satoshis-plebs.com/episode-240 Music Credits Joe Martin - Empty Passenger Seat #Bitcoin #podcast #v4v #value4value #GM #GN #Nostr #plebchain #plebs #grownostr #satoshisplebs
