👋 GM Nostr 💜, the 235th episode of Satoshi’s Plebs podcast is out now! Episode 235: Play Fiat Games and Win Fiat Prizes In this episode of Satoshi’s Plebs, @Kenshin 🥷 & @McIntosh explore the dangerous world of “fiat games” and their consequences across global markets. They discuss Cardano’s spectacular collapse after an AI-assisted coding error split the blockchain, triggering FBI involvement, and celebrate Texas becoming the first US state to actually purchase Bitcoin with $5M in iBit ETF. The Federal Reserve’s pivot back to quantitative easing with a liquidity injection draws parallels to COVID-era money printing that launched Bitcoin from $3,800 to $29,000. The Japan carry trade unwind takes center stage as rising interest rates force massive deleveraging, with Bitcoin serving as the “canary in coal mine” through overnight liquidations. The episode explores Austrian versus Keynesian economics and sobering statistics from

👋 GM Nostr, the 232nd episode of Satoshi’s Plebs podcast is out now! Episode 232: The Quantum Leap In this episode of Satoshi's Plebs, @Kenshin 🥷 & @McIntosh explore whether quantum computing poses a real threat to Bitcoin. They discuss findings from the Presidio Bitcoin Quantum Summit, where experts' concern about cryptographically relevant quantum computers arriving within 5-20 years increased after the event. However, the hosts emphasize this is not an imminent threat—current quantum computers are extremely expensive, error-prone, and nowhere near capable of breaking Bitcoin's cryptography. Solutions like BIP 360 are already being proposed to implement quantum-resistant algorithms when needed. 🔊 Listen and boost us on Fountain: https://fountain.fm/show/Ad0jCESW2B7R17uDQ1ki 🎧 Listen on your favourite app: https://episodes.fm/1582341312 📜 See our back catalogue: satoshis-plebs.com/episodes Bitcoin Price at Time of Recording Nov 5th, 2025: $104,436 USD | 90,800 euro Block Height at Time of Recording 922,362 Episode Page https://satoshis-plebs.com/episode-232 Music Credits Joe Martin The Jetsons #Bitcoin #podcast #v4v #value4value #GM #Nostr #plebchain #plebs #grownostr #satoshisplebs
