He lost his job in Shanghai, met Samson Mow at a Bitcoin meetup, and ended up working at the biggest Bitcoin exchange in China without even knowing what Bitcoin was. What started as a desperate career pivot became a front-row seat to the rise of global Bitcoin adoption.In this episode, Kilian, CEO of Boltz, shares what it was like to build Bitcoin products inside China during its boom years, how Bitcoin solved his problem of sending money home, and why he now believes Lightning and Liquid are the keys to a borderless financial system. From mining pools to mobile wallets to powering Aqua Wallet transactions through Boltz, this is the story of how Bitcoin changed everything.

He sold his house to buy Bitcoin — and it paid off.In this episode of Sat Chats, Justin returns to share how selling his rental property and dollar-cost averaging into Bitcoin changed everything. Nine months ago, he chose 52,200 sats over $50 cash — today those sats are worth 17% more while the dollar lost 2% of its value.Justin breaks down what made him go all-in on Bitcoin, how books like The Bitcoin Standard and The Big Print reshaped his financial mindset, and why he now believes Bitcoin beats gold, real estate, and traditional investing as a hedge against inflation.We also explore Bitcoin-backed loans, sound money, and the mindset shift from saving dollars to stacking sats. Whether you’re new to Bitcoin or already stacking, this episode shows what conviction looks like when you truly understand the rules of money.Links to today’s Show Notes:https://www.ledn.iohttps://www.strike.mehttps://www.ithacahummus.comhttps://www.gemini.com⬇️⬇️⬇️— Sat Chats is a Bitcoin podcast for the curious, cautious, and not-quite-coiners.

He calls out Michael Saylor, something almost unheard of in the Bitcoin world.

Patrick, CEO of DelphX Capital Markets, says the MicroStrategy model is financial nonsense and that Saylor’s leveraged approach could wreck both his company and Bitcoin’s reputation if things turn south.

In this episode, Patrick breaks down what most Bitcoiners don’t want to hear: Wall Street’s asleep, leverage is out of control, and transparency (not hero worship) is what will protect this market long-term.

From his days in credit markets to building new hedging tools for Bitcoin treasuries, Patrick explains why corporate hedging and full disclosure aren’t bearish; they’re survival.
