The SatsMate Stack

Hi SatsMate Stackers, 

I like to look at the life of a famous blue-collar cartoon as a representation of the normal economy back in day. Homer was a blue-collar worker, and was able to buy a nice home and support a 4 person family on this factory job. Now a days, this would be almost impossible to do in most places around the U.S. 

It just goes to show how far the economy has changed, and in the end people are starting to lean into more gig jobs, and taking several jobs because their main jo...

Hi Satsmate Stackers, 

I hope you are having a great week so far! We don't need to look far to see that we are a nation of debt slavery. In fact, you can see how dire the situation is for yourself at the following link: https://www.usdebtclock.org/. 

Public spending is out of control, and in this podcast, I discuss ways in which we can reduce the drag of public outlays. Specifically in this podcast, I go over the key important topics: 

Hey Satsmate Stackers, 

In our society, we are at a point where rate cuts will help the rich and end up further hurting the poor. In the short term, it may provide a sigh of relief to the poor and middle class, but the asset prices of the rich will continue to melt up, further exacerbating wealth inequality. In today's podcast, I discuss the upcoming interest rate cuts and what they will do to the economy: 

Hey Satsmate Stackers, 

I hope you are doing well and having a strong start to your week! In today's podcast, I discuss the financial moves that I go against the grain on. Far too often in today's society, it is easy to fall down the path most people go down. I think on occasion, it is okay to go against the current and do things the way you see fit. Specifically, in my podcast today, I go over many things that I don't mind spending more on: 

Hey Satsmate Stackers, 

I hope you are all doing well! We have recently seen some large measures take place on the H1B program here in the U.S. With this, we will see it cost a lot more to tap into global talent, while concurrently aiming to protect U.S. jobs. I think a balanced approach must be assessed, and in this podcast I explore both sides of the argument, and present my thoughts including: 

Hey Satsmate Stackers, 

With all that is going on in the economy, the Federal Reserve is caught between a rock and a hard place. Currently, we are seeing unemployment tick higher, inflation tick higher, and rates start to come back down (short-term rates). 

In this podcast, I discuss how the FED is stuck between a rock and a hard place. We will see the situation further unravel as the months go on - but in the end, it is important to protect yourself with hard assets! 

Hi Satsmate Stackers, 

I hope you are doing well! In today's podcast, I discuss the tradeoff of outsourcing our thinking in today's day and age. 

We give up the most important thing possible: our critical thinking skills. We must use our minds, and not just hand over our thinking to an AI. Specifically in this podcast, I discuss the following important topics: 

Hi Satsmate Stackers, 

I hope you are doing well! This podcast is a little different from other ones that I have made. In this podcast, I talk about some of my views on what happened with Charlie Kirk a few days ago & the positive impact he has made on our country as a whole. Specifically, I cover the following: 

Hey Satsmate Stackers, 

You don't have to look far to see that inflation is starting to heat up, and we are now at a point in the economy where a rate cut is likely to occur in September. 

With this, we need to ask ourselves: will a rate cut further cause inflation to spiral out of control, or will we start to see the economy recover in a healthy way? 

Specifically, in this podcast, I go over important topics such as the following: 

Hey Satsmate Stackers, 

We are seeing a growing number of young people become increasingly disillusioned about their future as time goes on. Many of the youth today are turning to drugs, alcohol, dopamine addictions, and more. 

In this podcast, I discuss my thoughts on what drives the destructive habits of young people in America today, while also addressing potential solutions. 

Hey Satsmate Stackers, 

So much is happening in the economy right now, and as many have seen recently, the job numbers are not looking too hot. We have seen inflation on the rise, several months of misstated job numbers, and the Fed's decisions based on this faulty and inaccurate data. 

In times like this, I think it is key to understand we can still come out ahead, but we need to call it out and act smart. Specifically, in this podcast, I cover the following topics: 

Hey SatsMate Stackers, 

I hope you are all doing well! Wow, it is crazy to see the price get to the levels that it has so far this year. It feels great, but this podcast is my suggestion on becoming more based in our reasons on why we are getting into Bitcoin. I think many of us that are in it for the price, are out of it for the price just as quickly. I think this is why, we must buy this asset for deeper reasons than just the fiat price. 

Specifically, in this po...

Hey SatsMate Stackers, 

Many of us may sometimes feel like there isn't enough time to get ahead. To make ends meet, sometimes we must sacrifice our free time to make extra money. Unfortunately, this trap can end up being never-ending, and we cannot get our time back. 

In this podcast, I go over many things that we can do as individuals to buy back our time. Specifically, I cover the following key topics: 

Hey Satsmate Crew, 

I hope you are doing well! This podcast is a little bit different, and it goes over many of the pitfalls that successful people encounter. People work relentlessly to build an excellent career, and some can manage to get to the theoretical "top", just to end up fumbling it a few years later. In today's podcast, I go over a few of such cases, and why it is important to remain based, and keep a clean history: 

Hey Everyone, 

I just recently got back from a several-week trip across Europe (Switzerland, Germany, and the Czech Republic). Through my travels, I experienced many things that I would like to share with you, both good and bad. Travel is such an important thing to do to widen one's perspectives and experience a different culture and way of life. In this podcast, I cover many things that I have found fascinating, specifically, I go over the following: 

Hey SatsMate Stackers, 

I hope you are all doing well! For the past several weeks, I traveled to several Bitcoin conferences. In this podcast, I go over both conferences and share some of my final thoughts. Specifically, I go over the following: 

Bitcoin Vegas:

Hey Satsmate Stackers, 

We are currently going through a huge shift in how we work as a society. Robotics and AI is automating many of the tasks that we used to spend hours doing. 

I think the future of work will be more high-skilled, and a lot of the lower-skilled positions will get automated away. With that, I think it is important that we prepare ourselves and properly reskill for this ever-changing world. In this podcast, we go over the following: 

Hey SatsMate Stackers, 

Today is an enormous day in Bitcoin, as for the first time, the medium of exchange narrative is playing out in front of our very eyes in the U.S! For the longest time, many naysayers would say I can't pay for this or that with Bitcoin, but now you can! In today's podcast, I go over the following topics and why this is such an exciting day in Bitcoin! 

Hey Satsmate Stackers, 

Our system is designed to keep us trapped, complacent, and dependent on it. It wants to keep us small, non-creative, and to align with it. In this podcast, I go over a multitude of topics on things that we can do as individuals that will end up starving the system. 

Hey Satsmate Stackers, 

We've fallen into the dangerous trap of trying to impress others at the expense of our financial freedom and mental well-being. Modern consumer culture has trained us to believe that our worth is tied to the brands we wear, the cars we drive, and the experiences we share on social media. Specifically, in this podcast I go over the following topics: 

• Designer handbags often begin in sweatshops before receiving final touches in Italy to earn the "Made in Italy" label
• Over-the-top parties thrown for social media content rather than genuine celebration drain...

Hey Satsmate Stackers, 

Many gatekeepers are at the epicenter of finance and control the avenues we can invest in. While many of them may say their job is to protect us, this can also hurt our long-term gains. 

In this podcast, I discuss the freedom to invest as you choose and why Bitcoin is an important component of liberty in investment. In the end, centralized control will try to stop us, but we must speak up so more options can open up for us in investing! 

Hi Satsmate Stackers, 

The financialization of Bitcoin is well underway, and with this comes many positive developments, but I also want to point out many concerns. Several products are starting to hit the market that offer one cash if you post your bitcoin as collateral. It is important to keep in mind that this may seem good on the onset, but often there can be risks associated with debt-based products. 

In today's podcast, I go over Bitcoin-powered loans, my thoughts on them, and lastly, the pros and the cons. Specifically, I discuss the following points: 

Hi Satsmate Stackers, 

Over the past 5 years, we have seen countless SPACs rise, as it is an alternative way to raise capital. These are one of the many ways to bring a company public, and it is important to be aware of the risks before shelling out your hard earned cash on these investments. In todays podcast, I will go over the following: 

Hey Satsmate Stackers, 

We are seeing a rise in people using buy now, pay later for everyday essentials. With the significant increase in inflation, interest rates, unemployment, and potential tariffs, households are feeling more squeezed than ever. 

Many consumers are starting to realize they don't have anywhere else to turn, and are starting to finance everyday things such as fast food, groceries, or even concert tickets. This is normalizing a bad behavior, and will further stretch consumers who are already facing pressure. In today's podcast, I go over the following topics and discuss my opinion: 

Hey SatsMate Stackers, 

We have seen a pretty large uptick in the amount of gambling amongst our population over the past couple of years. As times get tough, many turn to gambling as it can offer a glimmer of hope, where often it seems like there is no way to get ahead. 

In today's podcast, I go over the following important topics as they relate to where our society is today and how gambling has increased. Specifically, I cover the following topics: 

Hey SatsMate Stackers, 

The past couple of months have been very choppy in both the stock and bitcoin markets, which may continue into the foreseeable future. 

In today's podcast, I review the importance of holding with strength and Keeping the Bitcoin buys amid a fearful environment. It isn't easy seeing one's assets take a large pullback in fiat terms, but over the long run, these scary drawdowns often prove themselves to be the best times to buy. Specifically, in this podcast, I go over the following topics: 

Hey SatsMate Stackers, 

There has been a lot of volatility in the markets lately, and with all the uncertainty regarding what is happening with the tariffs - I understand why! 

In this podcast, I review the great tariff gamble and the potential downstream implications if our government goes through these tariffs. It is important to ensure we have assets set aside and prepare ourselves 

The U.S. is currently saddled with a massive deficit—one we have little hope of repaying or climbing out from under anytime soon.

Because of this, we ne...

Hi All, 

We are currently going through a monetary reordering, and lately things have been very volatile in the market. This begs the question, what are the best ways to win or thrive during a recession? What steps can we take to position ourselves well not to take any of this on the chin if S@#! hits the fan?

In this podcast, I go over key things I have done and that I think many others should consider doing to weather and succeed a potential recession. Specifically, I go over the following: 

Hey Satsmate Stackers, 

Wow, there has been alot of turmoil in the markets lately! The root cause for this has been because of tariffs, uncertainty, and general concern for the overall state of the economy. Many large institutions are predicting a recession, and so people are starting to allocate to cash and other safe havens to avoid loss of assets. 

In this podcast, I go over the following important topics which cover the recession, and general uncertainty in the market. 

Hey SatsMate Stackers, 

I hope you all have had a great past week! The price has been chopping sideways in the wear-you-out, shake-you-out kind of market. While this has been causing short-term pain, oftentimes, these moments when others are fearful is the best times to assess getting into a position. 

In today's podcast, I talk about why not investing in Bitcoin could mean that one is getting left behind. Specifically, in this podcast, I go over the following important points: 

Hey Satsmate Stackers, 

Over the past couple of weeks, we have seen many indications from our government on what the future could hold for stable coins. With this, stable coins will help usher in more digital finance in the 21st century and position the U.S. as a digital asset leader. 

With all this going on, the main question many people have over the next couple of months is: What are the next plans for stablecoins? Specifically, in this video, I go over the following important topics: 

Hi Satsmate Stackers! 

We are living in an age when many traditional finance folks will advise their clients on Bitcoin in an effort to help capture the upside potential in the bull market to come. 

In this podcast, I go over the following topics, but I also try to shed light on the historical aspects of why many advisors have cold feet when recommending this asset. Specifically, I go over the following: 

What's Up SatsMate Stackers! 

Something I'm passionate about is sharing insights on finance, economics, and Bitcoin with the world. Several years ago, I dove into YouTube, eagerly creating videos I loved. From 2020 to 2021, it was a blast—connecting globally and sharing my thoughts. But the algorithm pushed me into a corner, prioritizing price predictions over authenticity, and I realized I was compromising my values for views.  

In this episode, I share why I left YouTube for podcasting, where I can speak freely and stay true to myself. Authenticity matters more than ever in t...

Hi Everyone, 

Welcome to The SatsMate Stack! We’re living in an era of fiscal tightening and a reality check on asset prices in 2025, following years of nonstop money printing from 2020 to 2021 and a decade of near-zero interest rates (ZIRP). In this episode, I dive into the key recession risks for 2025 and share my proven strategies for preparing financially. With many Americans struggling amid soaring inflation and the rising cost of living—think sky-high prices for eggs, cars, lending rates, and assets—it’s tougher than ever to afford basics. Income stagnation, as highlighted on wtfhappened1971.com, adds to t...

Hey SatsMate Stackers,

I'm glad to be back posting about Bitcoin, finance, and the broader economy. I've come to self-reflect that this is something I am very passionate about and want to keep doing! We are witnessing a lot of bullish things happening on the institutional side of Bitcoin over the past couple of months. I think this broader acceptance will be very bullish for Bitcoin over the coming year, and with that, we will see broader user adoption & more accommodative finance solutions. 

In this podcast, I go over some bullish news from the OCC, a...

Hi All, 

The FED recently came out with a pretty damning paper on Bitcoin as it relates to the U.S. government's budget deficits and bitcoin. Essentially they were saying if Bitcoin does its thing, the U.S. government won't be able to run budget deficits anymore. 

Essentially, the government is proposing a ban or a high tax, because they want to keep the power of the money printer and don't want to run balanced budgets, or budget surpluses! 

In this podcast, I go over the following important topics, namely: 

Hey All, 

Not too long ago we saw the ECB come out with a damning whitepaper on the distributional consequences of Bitcoin. It is funny how many of these bankers historically have called it a scam, now come out crying how it is a threat to the new world order's financial system. 

I see this as a big win for bitcoin, because even the smarter central bankers are starting to see the writing on the wall. That doesn't mean that we can rest on our laurels. In this podcast, I discuss the following important topics: 

Hi SatsCrew, 

We are just a few weeks out from the election and now more than ever, it is important to get out and vote to save this country. In this podcast, I will talk about the following: 

Hey All, 

It is crazy to see what is happening with our food supply chains across the country right now. We are getting poisoned now, and I don't see any urgency to get this fixed. It is getting sad in our country that we are at a point where we can't trust our food supply due to listeria outbreaks. Still, furthermore, the food that isn't infected with listeria is in tons of preservatives and cancer-causing carcinogens. In today's podcast, I go over the following important topics, and really try to drive the point home that we must b...

Hi All, 

There has been a crazy runup in the price of MicroStrategy over the past couple of weeks and I think it is important to look at it through an honest and objective lens. In this podcast, I go over Microstrategy, my thoughts on what is giving it the premium, my personal view, and If I am allocated.
