2026/01/29

In Episode 242 of Satoshi’s Plebs, McIntosh and Kenshin 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

Satoshi"s Plebs ·

2025/12/25

In this year-end review episode, we take an honest look at our 2025 predictions and how they held up against reality.

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
