A single copied address. A routine habit. A $50 million mistake. In this episode of The Silicon Satoshi, we break down a sophisticated address poisoning scam that fooled an experienced crypto user after a successful test transaction. The story exposes how modern cybercriminals exploit human behaviour not code and why even small oversights can lead to catastrophic losses in today’s digital asset ecosystem.

Privacy is older than nations, money, and the internet.

In this episode, we explore The History of Secrets, a cinematic journey through 3,500 years of cryptography from ancient trade secrets and love letters to wartime codebreaking, modern encryption, and the post quantum future.

This conversation reframes privacy not as secrecy for criminals, but as the foundation of:

• Human relationships
• Economic power
• Free expression
• Innovation and dissent

We also discuss how Midnight and the Cardano ecosystem are pushing rational privacy, privacy that works in the real world, alongside regulation, AI, and public blockchains.

If you’ve ever wondered why privacy matters historically and technologically this episode connects the dots.

The Midnight Network has officially launched NIGHT, its native utility token on Cardano marking one of the largest token distributions in blockchain history. More than 4.5 billion NIGHT tokens have begun their redemption process through the Glacier Drop and Scavenger Mine phases, and a full 360 day thawing schedule is now underway.

Welcome back to The Silicon Satoshi

November 2025 delivered one of the harshest resets in recent crypto history driven by nearly $3.5B in net spot ETF outflows and massive liquidation cascades wiping out $20B+ in leverage. Bitcoin plunged from near $110K into the low $90Ks, while Ethereum dropped over 21%.

But is this the start of a deeper downturn or the exhaustion phase before a major pivot?

In this episode, we break down the data signaling that sellers may finally be running out of steam. We examine why institutional infrastructure continues quietly expanding, how firms like BlackRock and Fidelity remain firmly positioned, and why key support zones $90K for BTC and 2,960 – 3,100 for ETH are becoming battlegrounds for smart money.

We also explore Ethereum’s accelerated “Fusaka” upgrade, targeting ~100,000 TPS, and the approaching macro “flip” from liquidity drain to net easing. Together, these forces could set the stage for a more constructive start to 2026 and potentially reopen the path toward a six-figure Bitcoin.

Dive deep into the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence in this podcast series that unpacks the history, latest breakthroughs, key players, and societal impact of AI. From the foundational algorithms of the 1950s to today's generative models, geopolitical rivalries, and corporate power struggles, get expert insights on how AI is reshaping our world and what the future holds. Perfect for tech enthusiasts, developers, business leaders, and anyone curious about the AI revolution.

Relive the tumultuous 48 hours (November 20,22, 2025) when the Cardano mainnet experienced an unprecedented chain partition. A malformed delegation transaction exploited an obscure deserialization bug in the node software, causing the blockchain to temporarily run on two parallel ledgers the "healthy" chain and the "poisoned" chain. Learn about the immediate developer response, which involved forming an emergency "war room" and rushing out hotfixes (like node version 10.5.3) for stake pool operators (SPOs) to install. While the incident was condemned as a "premeditated attack" and led to a sharp drop in ADA’s price, the network never went fully offline. Discover how the resilient protocol survived this "catastrophic event," leading to the network’s convergence back to a single, unified chain without any loss of end-user funds.
