Why hasn't Bitcoin reached mainstream adoption despite having the best money ever created? In this episode of We Are Satoshi, Bobby Shell explains why Bitcoin's biggest challenge isn't technology—it's sales, marketing, and communicating value to the world.

From Lightning payments and stablecoins to AI, entrepreneurship, and faith, this conversation explores what it will take for Bitcoin to reach billions of people and why the next wave of adoption may look very different than many Bitcoiners expect.

Bobby Shell is VP of Marketing at Voltage, where he helps businesses integrate Bitcoin and Lightning payments. We discuss Lightning adoption, stablecoins, AI-powered businesses, entrepreneurship, personal branding, and why Bitcoin companies need to become much better storytellers if they want to win.

Is Bitcoin private enough to become freedom money?Seth for Privacy joins to discuss one of the most important debates in Bitcoin: privacy.Bitcoin’s base layer is public by design, which creates real challenges for anyone who wants to use it as everyday money. Seth breaks down why privacy matters, where Bitcoin falls short, how tools like Lightning, Payjoin, Silent Payments, and CoinJoin fit into the picture, and why so many cypherpunks see Monero as a powerful tool in the fight for financial freedom.We also discuss Bitcoin ossification, the Samourai Wallet case, app store censorship, self-custody, circular economies, and how regular people can take practical steps toward better privacy.This conversation is not about tribalism. It’s about freedom, open-source tools, and building a world where money works for the people — not the surveillance state.Subscribe to We Are Satoshi for more conversations with the builders, educators, and freedom fighters shaping the future of Bitcoin.Seth's Intro to Privacy Article: https://sethforprivacy.com/posts/priv...CONNECT with Us:Cake Wallet on X: https://x.com/cakewalletSeth on X: https://x.com/sethforprivacyKyle on X: https://x.com/thekylehuber Kyle's Website: https://kylehuber.com Kyle on Nostr: [email protected] Support the POD!Buy the Daylight Co DC-1: https://buy.daylightcomputer.com/WEAR...

Michael left Microsoft, bought a 1979 cedar hot tub company, and is now bringing it into the Bitcoin era.In this episode, I sit down with Michael, the new owner of Snorkel Hot Tubs, a Seattle-based company making cedar hot tubs, cold plunges, and now… Bitcoin miner heated hot tubs.We talk about his transition out of corporate life, buying and modernizing an old-school American business, the beauty of building physical products, and how Bitcoiners pushed him toward one of the coolest ideas I’ve seen in a while: the Hash Tub.After bringing Snorkel to a Bitcoin conference, Michael kept hearing the same question:“Can it be heated with Bitcoin?”That question led him down the heat punk rabbit hole — working with Hashrate House, taking the tub to the Heat Punk Summit in Denver, winning an innovation award, and bringing the Bitcoin heated hot tub to the Bitcoin world.This conversation is about much more than hot tubs.It’s about craftsmanship, entrepreneurship, taking ownership of your life, building things that last, and creating real products and services for the circular Bitcoin economy.Satoshi gifted us bitcoin so we could bring our gifts to the world.Michael’s gift just happens to involve cedar, water, fire, heat, and hash rate.Follow Snorkel:Website: https://snorkel.comX: @SnorkelHotTubsNostr: @SnorkelHotTubsFollow Kyle / We Are Satoshi:Website: https://kylehuber.comYouTube: @WeAreSatoshiPodX: @KyleHuberTimestamps:Chapters:00:00 Welcome Michael00:24 Leaving Microsoft01:13 Buying Snorkel Hot Tubs03:41 What Snorkel makes06:14 Building a Bitcoin heated hot tub07:32 Hashrate House and the Hash Tub08:06 Heat Punk Summit09:12 The Vegas shipping disaster10:52 Is the Hash Tub ready for sale?12:32 How the Bitcoin hot tub works14:34 Mining heat vs electric heat16:07 Why bring it to Vegas?18:08 The cedar hot tub experience20:49 Buying and growing an established business23:12 Cold plunges, showers, and saunas25:19 How Bitcoin changed the business26:54 Accepting Bitcoin payments28:10 Bitcoin as a medium of exchange30:34 Hot Tub Time Machine31:01 Modernizing an old-school business34:01 The Snorkel team36:52 Repairable products vs disposable products38:40 Wood-fired hot tubs40:02 Craftsmanship and anti-fiat products41:20 Why Bitcoiners build better products46:16 Building a Bitcoin circular economy51:01 Bitcoin Walk and local community54:57 Bitcoin Bazaar57:54 Leaving corporate life59:59 Buying vs starting a business01:02:27 Where to follow Snorkel01:03:05 Final thoughtsSupport the POD!

In this episode I sit down with Sal from BTC Bytz, a barbell coach, bitcoin educator and father. We recorded this conversation at the Medellin Bitcoin conference and dove into something I think a lot of people in the Bitcoin space overlook: health.

Bitcoiners are some of the smartest and most driven people I know… but not everyone is treating their health like their wealth.

Sal shares his journey from aspiring professional soccer player to barbell coach, how Bitcoin changed the trajectory of his life, and why he decided to build his business entirely on a Bitcoin standard.

We also talk about longevity, mindset, and the mental frameworks that help people stay healthy in a chaotic world.

If you're someone who wants to build in Bitcoin, improve your health, or just become a more sovereign human, I think you'll get a lot out of this conversation.

Privacy in Bitcoin isn't optional anymore, it's essential for staying free.We are barreling toward a full-blown digital panopticon. Governments are printing fiat into oblivion, surveillance is everywhere, and with regulations tightening, blockchain analytics getting smarter, and things like the Travel Rule forcing data sharing, your on-chain activity is more traceable than ever. Non-KYC Bitcoin changes everything here. Exchanges tie you to the fiat system with heavy KYC, custody risks, and direct lines for governments to reach in. But mining your own sats? That's generating Bitcoin natively, at cost, with fixed energy so volatility doesn't wreck you—and routing it straight from pools to your wallet with minimal footprint. No SSN, no deep personal data, just enough for basic contact. Kent explains how he thinks about mining and why it isn't about competing with other miners. Mining the top of the Bitcoin stack, the decentralized money printer, competing with exchanges for how real people enter Bitcoin without handing over control. We talk the end of the easy "buy phase," why earning Bitcoin will matter more, the biological drive to actually save for your family and future generations, and why privacy beats power right now as the clash with states ramps up.Plus, some raw stories—like the sophisticated scam that cost him big, his love for wilderness, and solid advice for young builders jumping in.If the tightening grip on privacy has you feeling uneasy, or you're looking for ways to build real sovereignty, this conversation is for you.
