Episodes
If you pay money to someone or something at the threat of imprisonment or violence, you are their slave. If you pay 30% of the product of your labor, then you are 30% their slave.
In this episode we discuss tax evasion, tax avoidance, Roger Ver, crabs, the game theory behind taxation and politics, and more.
Its almost unbelievable that the first attempt at an independent, decentralized cryptographic money would succeed. Maybe its because the first attempts did NOT succeed. In this episode we discuss pre-cursors to Bitcoin, including failed attempts, that all helped shape Bitcoin into the only successful attempt at creating money independent of state.
One of the greatest movies ever made. A glimpse into peak Japanese culture, told through a fun but tragic heroes journey. We discuss why this movie is a top 5 all time movie.
On the great halvening, Bitcoins total supply is cut in half, but the value doubles. No wait, the supply is doubled which halves the value--like a stock split...
No, no, only the newly minted bitcoin are cut in half, that's why you want bitcoin that was mined before the halving.
Or maybe its something else?
Real estate is the boomer's asset. Boomers have the majority of the wealth, and use real estate as a store of value. The effect? Soaring home prices for first time home buyers.
Bitcoin is our way out, but we also want a certain quality of life. This episode discusses hodling Bitcoin vs exchanging some for other assets
Bitcoin is causing a massive shift in power from central legacy systems to individuals. Will this power shift occur smoothly and peacefully with legacy systems capitulating by adopting and integrating Bitcoin into society, or will the legacy system fight to retain its power, forcing a revolutionary future?
What is Bitcoin?
Money, truth, freedom, justice, a tool to fix all the problems in the world. We hear all kinds of answers so we decided to break it down.
Are metaphors good explanations of Bitcoin, or does it leave us with only a high-level understanding of Bitcoin?
In this episode we discuss these issues, answer what Bitcoin is, and discuss essential Bitcoin components and functio...
A national holiday--but we don't get the day off work. Groundhog day is arguably one of the most important holidays of the year, a day when we discover whether spring is here or winter will remain. It is also an enduring comedy movie where a man repeats the same day again and again.
In this episode we discuss the holiday, the movie, and how it relates to Bitcoin.
In this episode we break down what effect the ETFs will have on Bitcoin. Some of the topics we discuss:
-What are the risks of BTC ETFs for purchasers, and for Bitcoin itself
-Cointelegraph's article stating ETF approval ~6 months prior to approval
-Insider Trading
-Jamie Dimon / JP Morgan as Authorized Participants (APs) for the BTC ETFs (and what that means)
-Bitcoin vs Bitcoin ETF ...
Euthyphro, Apology, Crito are three dialogues discussing the morality and justice surrounding the death of Socrates, written by Plato.
In Crito, Socrates' friend, Crito, offers to smuggle Socrates out of Athens to escape his punishment. Socrates makes the case that it would be unjust, or morally wrong for him to do so.
Is it always wrong to disobey society and societal laws? Is man the ...
We all know what justice is, and morality too... We just can't explain it very well.
Plato explores these topics in the Euthyphro Dialogue which we dive into. This episode discusses the arguments Socrates makes to Euthyphro and their relevance to today, the method Socrates uses to discover truth, and the answers that Socrates gives us to life's greatest questions.
Athens' justice system began as oral law and later implemented draconian and solonian law. History sees this as progress simply because the laws came about later during the civilization--perhaps this 'progress' exacerbated the problem.
Comparing a simple system of oral laws to our current judicial system in the U.S. we could certainly say we lost our way. Lawyers and Judges must study ...
Bitcoin is the great innovation to come out of Bitcoin, not Blockchains.
In this episode we discuss what a Blockchain does for Bitcoin and why it is absurd to use a Blockchain for any other use-case, despite what the shitcoiners tell you.
Yet again we see our reality mirroring that of Atlas Shrugged. Advertisers threatened to pull advertising from X unless Elon Musk censored his own speech and speech that occurred on his platform. His response? "Go fuck yourself." followed by "..Hi Bob," most likely referring to Bob Iger, CEO of Disney.
Elon Musk resembles Hank Reardon from Atlas Shrugged--a titan of industry fight...
Javier Milei, an Anarcho-capitalist, has become president elect of Argentina.
Do we care about politics? Not normally. But more important than Milei winning is the fact that a large percent of the population has libertarian values.
The good guys are winning.
"Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner."
Another good movie, unsurprisingly made in the 90s. We break down why this is the best bank robber movie to date.
What is the male archetype? Or are there multiple?
This episode discusses the importance of the male archetype, the devolution of modern man,--to include modern man's creations, what is causing this devolution, and how Bitcoin fixes this.
We talked Gladiator, now we are talking Troy. One is superior to the other--but why?
We break down what was well done in Troy, what needed to be different, and why this movie didn't fill its full potential, despite being an entertaining movie to watch. Some of the topics discussed:
-How accurate the movie is to the source material
-Paris--villain, or hero?
-How the movie equated...
Who is Satoshi Podcast records 100th episode-Bitcoin sees $5k daily green candle. Coincidence? Maybe.
In this Episode we discuss the bull, the great halvening, fomo, etf approval, flight to safety, break in correlation between Bitcoin and S&P 500, and much, much more.
We are joined once again by Dr. Ron in an episode discussing why (almost) all awards are fake in today's society. We all know employee of the month is a rotational joke--it no longer has meaning or value as an award.
Does that mean it, and other awards like it, did not have value in the past, and will not have value in the future?
In this episode we discuss:
-the purpose of awards i...
