Satoshi’s Plebs podcast explores the world of bitcoin empowerment and macro economics.
Secessio Plebis – we do not need their systems. The world is changing and so must you. Come join us.
This episode marks a pivotal moment in this podcast. I'm changing the name to better reflect the content that I'm producing. Over the next few weeks I'll update the website etc to reflect the new name. In addition, I cover the news of the week including a major interview that Gary Gensler (head of the SEC) gave to New York Magazine.

It seems all of Bitcoin Twitter and a good portion of the Bitcoin podcast / Youtube has been discussing "NFTs on Bitcoin". There is a lot of talk, a lot of noise and probably some misinformation. On today's episode we discuss what the fuss is about and how someone may choose to respond. So let's go!!

It seems everyone in Bitcoin Twitter is talking about Nostr these days. What is it? Why is it important? Also, it seems that Nigeria is threatening to tear apart. Whats going on there seems to be all related to money. And the SEC seems to be wanting to go after every crypto product and company under the sun.

"It's not that I like the Empire. I hate it, but there is nothing I can do about it right now". When Luke tells Obi-wan Kenobi these words during the early part of the Star Wars movie the sense of hopelessness is almost palpable. But it turns out of course that Luke CAN make a difference. In a very short period of time he is thrown into the war against a tyrannical government controlling the galaxy. He made a difference.
Maybe you feel like Luke did because you have no control. Governments around the world are printing money like it means nothing. Inflation is climbing. There are multiple countries on the edge of hyperinflation events. By virtually every metric the average person is losing the financial battle. But Bitcoin brings hope and the possibility of future based on sound money. A way to combat the Evil Empire while not having to lift a blaster.

If you have been a Bitcoiner long enough this will happen to you ... someone you know will talk to you about some coin that they heard was "better than bitcoin". A better investment, a better store of a value, a replacement for bitcoin, whatever. Let's dive into why, odds are, that's just not true..

The world is awash in debt. The US leads the world economies (we're number one!!!) in amount of debt (31.5 trillion thank you very much). Who is owed this money? What will happen when we can't pay the debt? There are many questions when it comes global debt and the effect on the global economy.

Many Austrians think that gold is a great store of value. It has a long history (5000 years!!!) as a form of sound money. But should it be used instead of fiat based money or is there a better solution?

The Austrian and Keynesian economist view government management of economic cycles differently. The Keynesian economist have a guiding principle that the government is there to guide and manage the economy intervening during times of growth and recession. Of course the the Austrians are of the view that the government should be hands-off.
