Satoshi's Plebs

The theory of the four year cycle has been around for a while. The data from the last three halving cycles have provided a pretty good amount of evidence to back this theory up.

In this episode we cover what the four year cycle is and how you can use it to help in planning your DCA purchases of Bitcoin - essentially "supercharging" your purchases.

Plus news and notes of course.

What is Secessio Plebis and how does it relate to bitcoin? What can we learn from the Roman Plebeians? The banking crisis and economic breakdown of the worlds major economic powerhouses seems to be coming to a climax. What can YOU DO abut it? Maybe it's time to begin your personal Secessio Plebis.

More bank news this week including major news breaking after the recording of this podcast. This could be the beginning of the Fed's pivot from Quantitative Tightening to Quantitative Easing. With our current cocktail of high interest rates and high inflation this may prove disastrous tipping us firmly into recession if not worse.

In my opinion the United States banking system is showing great weakness. This weeks collapse of two large banks demonstrates this. These banks collapsed for different reasons but both demonstrate the inherent risks of a fractional reserve banking system.What is going on? What does it mean for you? Is this going to affect the economy or you?

Let's dive in..

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..
