The SatsMate Stack

Hey SatsCrew,  So exciting to be alive right now, because now more than ever we can receive bitcoin for pretty much everything we do. Whether you are playing games, streaming, YouTubing, podcasting, doing surveys, or walking - you can always be earning sats.  What is so great about this is these sats can easily be paid out via lightning at no cost and at any time. To be fair, this isn't a lar...

Hey All,  We have seen over the past couple of decades men's purpose has started to diminish. Men are choosing to leave the country, get addicted to drugs, become consumed with video games, or worse find a way out.  The reason why so many are deciding to give up is they often don't see a path towards a better future. Many opportunities around us are evaporating, and it is easy to see why...

Hey All,  The current administration has been outright against all things Bitcoin/Digital Assets. I think the evils in this world understand the power that Bitcoin can give the individual, and if we have powerful citizens, then they won't be submissive to the government. The government will always try to do everything it can to further inch its control on others. I hope we see privacy layers...

Hey Satsmate Crew,  It is not surprising what is happening right now, but we are seeing a clear case be made that many banks are on the brink of an insolvent collapse. The FDIC recently came out with a statement that 63 lenders are at risk of insolvency.  What is insane to think about is how could we have arrived at this point. Was this done purposefully, or was this a mistake? I think the incenti...

Hey SatsCrew,  We see material weakness in many businesses across the U.S. from a retail standpoint. A lot of discretionary products right now are not selling well at all, and because of this we are seeing companies like Dicks, Best Buy, Bass Pro Shops, and many more suffer because the consumer is sick.  The consumer is pretty much all tapped out from every angle because of inflation, slowing job...

Hey Satscrew,  We are starting to witness game theory play out right in front of us! It is beautiful to see companies worldwide trying to position their portfolio in a way of strength with a hard asset that can't be debased. It is well understood that fiat can be printed to infinity, and it is also well understood that bitcoin is finite. Many companies, individuals, and nation-states alike ar...

Hey SatsCrew, We are living in a world where more and more people are getting deeper into debt, while concurrently commodity asset prices are surging in an illustrative manner.  Over the better part of the past century, we have been living in a fiat experiment due to the creation of the Federal Reserve Bank. From our view, we are at the end times of this fiat experiment and many are realizing what...

Hey SatsCrew,  I'm sure many of you have heard the saying "Stay humble and stack sats". This is a popular phrase among the Bitcoin community over the past several years because of the amount of people out there trying to do things in a way that could be obnoxious, drive attention, and live a life without humility.  In this podcast, I go into the criticality of living by this motto -...

Hey SatsCrew,  You go to many countries around the world and notice not a lot of people have debt. There are some edge and fringe cases, but the majority tend to pay things with cash every step of the way.  Why is it in our Western U.S. society that we are so driven to go deeper and deeper into debt? Everything one can think about has been completely financialized - and it is leading to more and m...

Hey SatsCrew,  The government-issued statistics from the BLS (Bureau of Labor Statistics) are a complete joke & lie. Constantly hedonic adjustments are being made the hide the true reality of the inflation we are seeing in the country.   They fool us into thinking prices rise by x+1 when they rise by x+5. The unfortunate reality is that we make decisions with this data that don't fully pr...

Hey Satscrew,  We are seeing an insane reality currently where Biden and many democrats are standing against an asset that is supposed to democratize finance and the global financial system.  The very people who seek to help the poor and middle class are turning their shoulders on people who are trying to capture value in a permissionless, digital, and non-debasable way.  In today's podcast,...

Hey Everyone,  More and more the stock market resembles a casino than it represents a place of steady investment based on logic and fundamentals. I am completely for people making a buck, and nowadays we see stocks get short-squeezed just because their balance sheet is a joke.  In today's podcast, I go over my thoughts on the entire thing, and how I am approaching it. I hope you enjoy - and r...

Hey SatsCrew,  Things are getting interesting as it comes to the Biden administration and loans. The socialist and democratic party seems to be trying to bribe the populace into voting for them, by forgiving loans and other debts.  While I can go on and on about the problems our society faces as it comes to how we have gotten into this mess, I can assure you one of the worst ways out of this mess...

Hey SatsCrew,  In today's podcast, I explore an important topic - family & finances. I think in our day and age, it is getting tougher and tougher to get ahead, while concurrently expenses on alot of our favorite things keep adding up.  Today, I explore situations in which I believe you should lend family members money, and also discuss why it may not be the best idea. In the end, we want...

Hey All,  During the past several years, the Biden administration has been relentless on crypto and focused on enforcement, rather than sensible regulation.  Meanwhile, they turned a blind eye to SBF during the FTX fiasco. Now more than ever we need to vote for Trump (or even Kennedy) as it comes closer to the election our option is only Trump.  In this podcast, I discuss important topics like the...

Hey SatsCrew,  I hope you are all doing well. We are starting to witness the phase-out of cash and other physical forms of payments before our very eyes. Many places/restaurants won't accept cash, and some places won't accept bills larger than twenties.  There are even some merchants who won't provide change in certain cases (coinage). All of these efforts are aimed at reducing our...

Hey SatsCrew,  Over the past few years, I have diligently studied Bitcoin and macroeconomics to prepare myself for the worst-case scenario - an economic depression or economic recession.  In our society, we must not jump down the typical consumerism rabbit hole and prepare ourselves for financial hard times/difficulties.  One thing that has helped me personally is buying Bitcoin and keeping a leve...

Hey SatsCrew,  We are starting to experience hints of stagflation, increased unemployment, and slower economic conditions.  When we start to see these slowing economic conditions, it is important to stay alert on things to do to optimize our position during the impending storm.  While my situation isn't perfect, and there are other things you should consider doing beyond this shortlist, in to...

Hey SatsCrew,  Over the past day, it has been very difficult to see what is happening to Bitcoin Self-Custody. At the end of the day, we should have rights to our financial sovereignty.  We are seeing time and time again the government's scope creeps more and more into the surveillance state that will reduce or eliminate American freedoms, while concurrently giving more and more power to the...

Hey SatsCrew,  You don't have to look far to see the outright dystopian our country has been becoming over the past couple of years. It seems only to be getting worse and worse, with more freedoms being eroded & socialist policies being introduced.  In today's podcast, I talk about the new outrageous capital gains bill that will severely damage individuals trying to make a little ext...

Hey SatsCrew,  There are countless things we can do to set ourselves up for success to avoid falling victim to bad financial decisions.  There are many things we can do to lay the groundwork to being financially prepared and in this podcast I aim to do just that.  Specifically, I go over important topics like the following:  We are taught by our society to live paycheck to paycheck, to keep gettin...

What is up Sats Crew,  It isn't easy out on the job market right now. Even if you do land yourself a nice job, often the spigot will dry up eventually when the business changes and things get shaken up.  I for one experienced a rough experience when it comes to being out of work. Once I was out of work for a while, it was extremely hard to get back in the groove again. My confidence was down,...

Hey SatsCrew,  I hope you are all doing well. It is crazy and unfortunate to see what is happening in Canada now. I have been following Canada closely for years, and by the looks of it - it seems like bodily autonomy, housing, interest rates, immigration, and taxes are getting worse.  At this point, Canada appears to be another Marxist country on the decline - with no end in sight. In this podcast...

Hey Sats Crew,  In today's podcast, I go off on how we are being lied to about prices in our system. I know we have hit this topic several times over the past couple of months - it is getting worse and not better.  I hope everyone listens to this and has the empathy to understand people who can't protect themselves from inflation due to lack of knowledge, or lack of earning ability. Many...

Hey Sats Crew,  I like many today am so wrapped up in the quick dopamine hits from social media, video games, salty snacks, and other euphoric forms of media/entertainment.  I've come to recognize that many of these things are good to me, but just because they are good to me, doesn't mean they are good for me. As I get older I realize I tend to shift towards habits and activities that ar...
