In this episode of Sat Chats, we meet Konrad Fitzpatrick—Canadian Bitcoiner, ex-bank teller, and the grandson of Polish immigrants who lived through communism. His first exposure to Bitcoin came through RuneScape gold arbitrage, but it wasn’t long before he started orange-pilling 80-year-old customers at his bank and studying fiat’s collapse from behind the counter.

We unpack how fear, anger, and greed all play a role in orange-pilling, why older folks sometimes “get it” faster than Gen Z, and why Konrad believes Executive Order 6102 is coming for Bitcoiners next—unless you self-custody.

We cover:

✅ Gold confiscation, the Petrodollar, and Nixon's 1971 move

✅ Why salary raises are a lie in a fiat system

✅ Lightning vs. Western Union: cost and speed showdown

✅ How Bitcoin builds “financial muscles” for the future

✅ Roasted Red Pepper hummus and canceled fiat envelopes

Konrad clearly knows his stuff—but he still has to choose: 46,955 sats or $50 in fiat. Does he trust the math… or the paper?
