The SatsMate Stack

Hi All, 

We have seen a parabolic runup in the Bitcoin price the past couple of months and the big question is why is this, and where is it going from here? 

I strongly believe that the price will keep trending higher as we approach the halving, but it will be a volatile year for the asset given a lot of the macroeconomic conditions. 

I think it is important to consider the following points with this asset:

- Dollar-cost averaging has and remains to be a steady strategy for smoothing out the highs and lows of buying in the market
- Be there in the bear market as much as you are there in the bull market
- Far too often we can get fixated on price, at the end 1 bitcoin=1 bitcoin
- It is important to not take on too much debt when buying bitcoin
-  Keeping strong conviction in all stages of the market
- Understanding that it is so hard to time the market

Anyways what are your thoughts on all the crazy price action we have been seeing in Bitcoin lately? Do you think we may see the start of a new long bull market, or do you think we see a big dump after/before the halving?

Hi All, 

Today we are getting taxed to the end of the earth by our government in all forms. While it is important that we follow the law regarding taxation, it is also important that we speak up and do what we can to fight for what is fair in this world. 

In today's podcast, I go over some important topics such as: 

- Different types of taxes
- What makes Bitcoin different from homeownership
- The future of taxes and what it may mean for homeownership and bitcoin
- Being taxed to no end through many different avenues
- Smart ways to set one's life to optimize the tax code
- Business structures to optimize one's taxes
- Reducing one's footprint moving into and out of assets frequently
- The importance of following the law, and working strategically to get the government to change the tax code

Overall these are some of my thoughts on Bitcoin being better than home ownership. What do you think about this as it relates to taxes? Will we see a more favorable tax code in the future as it relates to Bitcoin or homeownership taxes?

Best Regards,

Hey Everyone, 

Over the past couple of days, we have seen some crazy behaviors from the current administration when it comes to student loans and forgiveness. 

I think this forgiveness is one of the most dangerous things our administration can do as it creates a moral hazard, undermines our system, and encourages more debt-based behavior on everyone's behalf. 

It is unfortunate to see this play out, as we live in a free market capitalist society, and people should have to pay for the mistakes they make. We do need to encourage cheaper admission prices, but those prices are propped up because of the government itself. The entire problem is the government! In today's podcast, I go over: 

- 150K+ U.S. Citizens and $1Bln+ being used for this program
- Morale hazard being created 
- Sending of the wrong signals to the citizens and borrowers in this country
- Why we need bitcoin
- The importance of speaking up and not just taking it
- The root of how the system got this bad in the first place
- How low-time preference thinking will shape this

What do you guys think in regards to student loan forgiveness? Do you think this is something that could contribute to the further morale decay of our society? 

I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts! As always, thanks for supporting the show! 

Best Regards,

Hi All, 

Over the past five years, there have been significantly more circular economies adopting bitcoin worldwide. Everywhere from the Bitcoin Jungle to Bitcoin Beach, Bitcoin Ekasi, Vietnam, Lugano, and countless others - we are seeing a large increase in people starting to trade and transact locally in communities with Bitcoin/Bitcoin Lightning. 

I think this trend will continue to grow, and in the future we will see hundreds of these spots around the world as people are opting out of fiat into a better asset class. Specifically, I think the grassroots adoption will be led by those who have sufferred the most from bad monetary policy, but concurrently are forward thinking and willing to take a calculated risk. 

This podcast covers the following: 
-Thriving circular economies are popping up all around the world
- Increase of tourism and education amongst the locals
- Experimentation of the pain points or drawbacks before this rolls out across the world
- Enhancement of culture amongst both bitcoiners and locals
- Empowerment of youth and more broad education

Overall one of the things that I am the most excited about when it comes to bitcoin is the circular economies. I genuinely believe we will see more rise over the coming months and years, and in the near term it is important to support these as they come about. Here are a few that I have linked that I currently am supporting:

What are your thoughts on circular economies?

Hi All, 

Things are changing rapidly in the labor market in today's day and age! Over the past couple of years, we have seen the advent of gig work which has been very impactful for people trying to earn a side income and not hold a traditional 9-5 job. 

In the future, we are going to see more gig and contract work, with a reduction in salaried work. I think the specific way to describe the future economy as it comes to earning will be more about providing value to people with one's goods or services with less bureaucracy and middlemen. I believe the future of work will evolve past the traditional ways to the following: 

- A reduction in salaried workers and traditional payroll methods
- Direct person-to-person sending of value
- Providing a good/service to others and getting zapped
- More seamless, quicker throughput of payments, and more money back in the hands of the creator
- A reduction in middlemen involved between you and your money, and more direct exposure to your bitcoin

What are your thoughts, do you think the world will continue to evolve towards more value for value? Do you have any thoughts as to how this will evolve? 

Thanks everyone for the massive support over the past couple of weeks, its really been amazing!

Hi Everyone, 

Many countries around the world are adopting Bitcoin to a certain degree. However, it has been relatively lackluster in the United States compared to many places worldwide. Why is that? Why is the US so far behind other nations when it comes to Bitcoin adoption? A lot of us know what it is, but the aptitude for Bitcoin transactions is nominal at best. 

In today's podcast, I explore ways in which we can have more Bitcoin adoption in the United States. Specifically, I'll go over topics such as:

- Getting out of our comfort zone even if we have been historically privileged
- Why other nations of the world end up adopting Bitcoin
- Steps individuals can take to adopt
- Laws, Taxes, Asking Others, Education, Tools
- Getting rid of our hubris, and spoiled mindset and focusing back on our core
- Understanding that bad things push individuals to learn about something better

I hope everyone enjoys this! The U.S. will get there at some point, we just need to keep pushing for positive legislation! One avenue I recommend checking out to continue the open dialogue with our representatives is the Satoshi Action Fund which can be found here:  https://www.satoshiaction.io/ .

Hi All, 

As Bitcoin progresses further and further along mainstream adoption, many authoritarians want to see this technology go away in its entirety. In Bitcoin's history, there have been and are still instances where Bitcoin isn't mined with the most renewable sources. 

Many European regulators and commissioners are looking to put an end to Bitcoin mining, and it's up to Bitcoiners and the citizens of these jurisdictions to speak up and fight for what is right. 

There is a push to move people to proof of stake and CBDCs, and we must stand up against that. In the end, we cannot give an inch because if we do they will try to take a mile. In this podcast, I discuss several important points such as: 

- EU Regulators seeking to ban PoW
- Climate Initiatives, and financial control 
- The broader adoption of these negative policies in other parts of the world
- The defense of liberty, freedom, and hard money
- Who do we want to be at the end of the day, and where do we want to go?

Hi All, 

Over the past couple of months, we have seen risk assets soar, value stocks trade sideways, and everyday currencies debased. 

Bitcoin being a commodity has some excellent qualities that help position itself in a unique camp unlike stocks, bonds, or traditional currencies. What helps it outperform regular commodities is its ability to be moved throughout time and space with ease, something that can't be done too easily with gold, silver, copper, etc. 

In today's podcast, I dive into how Bitcoin could be a shield in a recession. It has many qualities that uniquely position itself in a camp of its own, and I think it is worth exploring the following: 

- Whether banks fail or not, there is a strong case that one is protected
- Recessions lead to bailouts/stimmies = higher bitcoin
- Nature is healing, overextended people fall
- People with high debt-to-income ratios tend to face the music quicker
- Holding the bearer asset
- Sorts out the way things should be

What are your thoughts? Do you think Bitcoin could help individuals weather a recession easier? 

Kind Regards,

SatsMates

Hi All, 

Over the past several years we have seen a shift in the world stage when it comes to using currencies. The United States (and Europe) have weaponized their currencies to countries like Russia that aren't on our political side. From the recent Putin/Tucker interview, this was noted as a significant strategic mistake that could lead to a decline in the dollar over the next several years, and it will be almost impossible to regain that trust again. 

In this podcast, I explore the following ideas: 

- Russia/Tucker interview and my thoughts surrounding the economy and currency regime
- Trade being conducted around the world focusing on USD and Euros
- Overview of the Ruppees, Yuan, and other currencies
- Powers that come and go, and why we need neutral money
- Base money breakdown
- Cross-border settlement without sanctions, or capital controls
- What is the future? What currency/money would be positioned for it?

I would love to hear your thoughts on how Bitcoin allows freedom in a multipolar world, and the strategic misstep of the USA/Europe. 

Kind Regards,

Hi All, 

Many economies lately have been slipping into a recession, specifically, Japan, facing many negative headwinds. With all of this central bank tightening, we can see currencies decreasing, inflation increasing and jobs becoming harder to find. Many economies indexes are hitting all-time highs, yet slipping into recession... Why is that? 

In today's podcast, I dive into the following: 
- 150-151 USD/Yen, Japan losing purchasing power
- Papa Powell tightening, what happens
- USD being the cleanest clothes, in a dirty laundry bin, and Bitcoin being superior
- Japanese trade reliance and the implications of short and medium-term intervention
- Historic currency interventions not being fruitful, and yield curve control
- Bitcoin as a commoditized alternative to fiat debasement

Overall I appreciate everyone listening, would love to hear your thoughts! 


Kind Regards,
