They talk about the current Bitcoin landscape, from falling hash rate and mining companies pivoting to AI, to renewed ETF activity and the growing role of Bitcoin in global trade. Throughout it all, their message stays the same: Bitcoin

246 - Stacking Sats in the Bear: Build, Don’t Bleed

Satoshi"s Plebs ·

2026/03/05

McIntosh and Kenshin check in and talk about navigating the bear market with a clear head—how to think about volatility, keep perspective, and stay focused on stacking and building instead of stressing over day-to-day price swings. They also touch on how Bitcoin has been behaving in broader markets and why that doesn’t necessarily change the long-term thesis. They wrap with a few updates from the week, some thoughts on where tech and privacy are heading, and the usual network stats before closing

244 - Fees, Mempool, and UTXO Hygiene

Satoshi"s Plebs ·

2026/02/12

This week McIntosh and Kenshin tackle the part of Bitcoin everyone thinks they understand… right up until a transaction gets stuck: fees, mempool dynamics, and UTXO hygiene. They frame fees as a live market for scarce blockspace, explain what you’re actually paying for (sats/vbyte), and show how transaction “weight” changes based on inputs/outputs—why a “cheap” fee rate can still be expensive if your transaction is big. They also cover the two practical “escape hatches” when things go sideways—RBF

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

2026/02/05

This week Macintosh and Kenshin 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

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

241 - Do You Have a Long Term View?

Satoshi"s Plebs ·

2026/01/22

Episode 241 is a “look back to look forward” kind of conversation: Kenshin and 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

2026/01/15

Episode 240 is a wide-ranging catch-up that turns into a love letter to “running Bitcoin.” McIntosh and Kenshin 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

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. 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

They discuss findings from the Presidio Bitcoin Quantum Summit, where experts' concern about cryptographically relevant quantum computers arriving within 5-20 years increased after the event. However, the hosts emphasize this is not an imminent threat—current quantum computers are extremely expensive, error-prone, and nowhere near capable of breaking Bitcoin's cryptography.
