  • Rehashing Eps. 62-64 | Ep. 21 — Sat Chats Rehash
    2025/06/06

    In this Rehash episode of Sat Chats, we revisit three guests who helped us explore Bitcoin from three powerful angles: conviction, conversion, and community. Whether you're battling broken systems, reshaping family priorities, or building businesses from the ground up... these episodes show how Bitcoin clarifies what matters.


    We cover:

    ✅ What conviction looks like when it’s not flashy (Jeff Booth edition)

    ✅ How to onboard someone without overwhelming them

    ✅ Why lived inflation is greater than textbook inflation.

    ✅ What happens when a Bitcoin startup founder brings receipts and snacks


    Chapters:

    00:00 – Introduction to Sat Chats and Bitcoin Podcast

    01:57 – Discussion on Jeff Booth's Episode

    06:39 – Insights from ChatGPT on Jeff Booth

    09:02 – Overview of Tricia's Episode

    15:45 – Transition to Oliver's Episode

    25:54 – Oliver's Personal Story and Insights

    30:03 – ChatGPT's Feedback on Oliver's Episode

    34:22 – Final Thoughts and Conclusion


    Jeff Booth (Ep. 62)

    He joined us days before flying to El Salvador to meet with President Bukele and still brought his full self to the conversation. This episode hit hard because it wasn’t just smart... it was sincere. His message: the future is worth waiting for, and worth building now.


    Tricia (Ep. 63)

    Walked in wary and walked out stacking. A suburban mom with no Bitcoin background, her episode revealed what it looks like to truly onboard someone... not with hype, but with heart. We talked about trust, family time, and the emotional wall many people hit when first hearing about Bitcoin. Her honesty cracked something open. It wasn’t about conversion—it was about connection.


    Oliver (Ep. 64)

    Brought the energy of someone who’s lived through what most of us only study. Growing up with hyperinflation and seeing wealth confiscated firsthand, his story wasn’t theory... it was testimony. Now building Beyond the Checkout, he’s turning every grocery aisle into a stacking opportunity. Between scooter regret, gland jokes, and his QR-powered sats drop, this episode reminded us that joy and urgency can absolutely coexist.


    This Rehash brings the full spectrum: high-signal thinkers, real-life pivots, and a reminder that Bitcoin conversations are better when they’re human, funny, and grounded in lived experience. Exactly what Rehash is for... reflection, story, correction, and stacking momentum for the road to 99.

  • Why Will Governments Target Bitcoiners? | Ep. 75 — #75 Konrad
    2025/06/05

    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?

  • Can Bitcoin Make You Ungovernable? | Ep. 74 — #74 Spencer
    2025/06/04

    In this episode of Sat Chats, we meet Spencer—front-end dev, early Bitcoiner, and proud grandson of the most legendary Icelandic Napster grandma of all time. His Bitcoin journey started in a political science class during the WikiLeaks era, leading him to mine on a MacBook in the middle of lectures, get called out by his professor, and eventually buy ASICs out of car trunks in Miami with stacks of cash.


    We trace his path from peer-to-peer file sharing to peer-to-peer money, explore the hacker mindset that made Bitcoin click, and ask whether mining still makes sense—or if you're better off just stacking.


    We cover:

    ✅ Mining in dorm rooms and garages

    ✅ Why Spencer still runs a miner today

    ✅ CIA rumors, Satoshi’s disappearance, and Bitcoin’s origin story

    ✅ When to buy vs. build

    ✅ Jalapeño Lime hummus and ungovernable energy

    22:45 Common Objections to Bitcoin Mining

    31:38 Current State of Bitcoin Mining

    38:35 Reflections on a Decade of Mining


    Spencer is obviously a smart person but he gets a choice: $50 in fiat or $50 in sats… will his choice throw a wrench in the Sat Chats studio vibes?

  • Rehashing Eps. 59-61 | Ep. 20 — Sat Chats Rehash
    2025/06/02

    In this Rehash episode of Sat Chats, we revisit three guests who show how Bitcoin hits different. Whether you’re rebuilding from scratch, deep in the code, or confronting your own investing assumptions. What ties them all together? Bitcoin reveals what you value most.


    Brandon (Ep. 59) shared one of the most honest stories we’ve had on the show. A former repo man during the 2008 crash, he walked through pain, pandemic rabbit holes, and financial regret—before Bitcoin helped reset his priorities: steak, eggs, time outside, and telling the truth. His clarity hit hard. His message: Bitcoin is the reset.


    Simple Steve (Ep. 60) made us feel like node runners and node dreamers. A rocket scientist with Big Lebowski vibes, Steve introduced us to UTX Oracle, gave us his dead-simple Bitcoin standard (credit card now, sats later), and patiently Sherpa’d us deeper into the protocol. We simped. And we learned.


    Ann Garland (Ep. 61) walked in with a trucker hat and Dirty Maj energy—and walked out with sats in her stack. Her thoughtful pushback gave us space to confront a big question: why aren’t more women buying Bitcoin? It got real when Chris asked if she knew Apple’s CEO. (She didn’t.) But it wasn’t a “gotcha”—it was a lightbulb moment.


    We cover:
✅ What it means to say “Bitcoin reset my life”
✅ How Simple Steve’s method actually puts you on a Bitcoin standard
✅ Why “you ain’t even know” is funny and revealing
✅ The power of challenging someone’s narrative with love

    This episode brings the full Sat Chats spectrum: gritty stories, practical tools, and the joy of rethinking what we thought we knew. Exactly what Rehash is for—reflection, story, correction, and stacking momentum for the road to 99.

  • Should We Stop Saying Sats? | Ep. 34 — Sat Chats Short Stacks
    2025/06/01

    In this Short Stack episode of Sat Chats, we unpack the surprisingly spicy debate: Should we stop calling them Satoshis and just call them Bitcoin?


    Chris and Stewart respond to recent comments from Jack Dorsey and other Bitcoin influencers who suggest the term “sats” is confusing and that we should simplify everything under the umbrella of “Bitcoin.” But... is that actually helping? Or are we erasing one of the most powerful unlocks for newcomers?


    We break down:

    ✅ Why calling sats “Bitcoin” muddies the waters

    ✅ Why understanding small units helps adoption

    ✅ The danger of renaming pennies “dollars”

    ✅ How Sat Chats introduces sats in every single episode

    ✅ Why sats are essential for long-term clarity and onboarding


    Chapters

    00:00 The Debate on Bitcoin Terminology

    06:09 Understanding Bitcoin and Satoshis

    06:11 Content Strategy and Audience Engagement



    TL;DR — Let us cook, Jack. We just got here. Give us one halving cycle and we’ll handle the sats situation.

  • What Is Fiat Currency? | Ep. 33 — Sat Chats Short Stacks
    2025/05/31

    In this Short Stack episode of Sat Chats, we break down one of the biggest lies most people still believe: fiat currency has value because… well, it just does?


    Chris and Stewart unpack what “fiat” actually means (hint: it’s Latin for “because I said so”) and explain why the money we all use is only worth something because a government tells us it is. We contrast that with hard money—like gold, silver, or Bitcoin—that actually holds value on its own.


    You’ll learn:

    ✅ What fiat really means

    ✅ Why gold and Bitcoin are not fiat

    ✅ How the U.S. dollar officially went full fiat in 1971

    ✅ Why inflation is just a fancy word for “printing more”

    ✅ The difference between “easy money” and “good money”


    Chapters

    00:00 Introduction to Fiat Currency

    01:09 Understanding Hard Money vs. Fiat Money

    05:38 The Evolution of the Dollar and Fiat System



    Fiat currency is the money you’re forced to use. Hard money is the one you choose once you understand the game. This episode makes sure you know the difference.

  • Rehashing Eps. 56-58 | Ep. 19 — Sat Chats Rehash
    2025/05/29

    In this Rehash episode of Sat Chats, we revisit three guests whose stories explore culture, caution, and conviction in totally different ways—but all center around one big idea: Bitcoin is deeply personal.


    Marissa (Ep. 56) brought liberal arts flair and historical insight, connecting salt, gold, and Renaissance revolutions to the future of money. Her journey started with skepticism—and ended with a full sats stack.


    Lynn (Ep. 57) offered a balanced take on investing, blending Roth conversions, real estate, and a Bitcoin exposure story involving a no-risk art deal. It’s a calm, calculated look at what happens when you start climbing the Bitcoin ladder—without abandoning traditional tools.


    Amanda (Ep. 58) gave us our first viral TikTok moment—and a masterclass in why women belong in Bitcoin. From DOJ prosecutor to blockchain advocate, her metaphors (glass house vs. brick house) and history lesson on women’s financial exclusion shook us, our guests, and even Kristen (#99).


    We cover:

    ✅ Why history class might be the best Bitcoin onboarding tool

    ✅ The art of “meeting people where they are”

    ✅ How Amanda’s clip cut straight to Kristen’s core

    ✅ Why “Don’t take my word for it” might be our new North Star


    This episode is exactly what Sat Chats Rehash is here for—reflection, storytelling, self-correction, and finding new fuel for the road to Episode 99.

  • Can Bitcoin Help You Switch Economic Classes? | Ep. 73 — #73 Aly
    2025/05/28

    In this episode of Sat Chats, we welcome Aly, venture capitalist, entrepreneur, and star of Crypto Knights, the Shark Tank-style crypto pitch show now streaming on Amazon Prime. But long before Ali was backing 200+ startups with a $75 million fund, he was grinding for slushie money with a $2 paper route and running a full-blown DVD burning operation from his bedroom before age 13.


    Aly shares how growing up as the son of East African refugees shaped his relentless work ethic, what building a life from nothing taught him about power, and how Bitcoin became his ideological North Star. We unpack the difference between scarcity and leakage, why Bitcoin might be the only honest monetary system left, and how fiat currencies and altcoins have more in common than you’d think.


    We cover:

    ✅ From paperboy to partner: how Aly built Blockchain Founders Fund

    ✅ Why he sees Bitcoin as a check on corruption and unchecked power

    ✅ The leakiness of fiat and what national currencies get wrong

    ✅ Why most crypto is the penny stock of the digital world

    ✅ The ideological core that still keeps him bullish on BTC

    ✅ What Crypto Knights taught him about BS detection and founder hype

    ✅ How Bitcoin could’ve prevented Uganda’s collapse under Idi Amin

    ✅ Lemon Garlic hummus and the case for slushie-fueled ambition
