The Bitcoin Civil War Nobody Talks About

Who decides what bitcoin is? What happens when a minority of the network decides to fork bitcoin and move to a new chain? Bitcoin has been through many hard forks, most notably during the Blocksize Wars in 2017. In this episode of the We Are Satoshi podcast I spoke with Jeremy, Host of the Bitcoin Cash podcast. Jeremy makes the case that BTC abandoned the very thing Bitcoin was meant to be. Although Jeremy and I disagree on what bitcoin is and what adoption actually looks like, we found common ground on a number of topics and had a fruitful discussion. Topics covered: • Why Jeremy argues BTC became a “Potemkin village” version of Bitcoin • How the one-megabyte block limit changed the future of the network • Why he thinks Lightning and other L2s don’t solve the core tradeoff • How social consensus, not just miners or nodes, determines protocol direction • Why BCH's merchant adoption and circular economies matter more than hype If you want a deep look at the BTC vs BCH split, and the ideas still shaping Bitcoin politics today, this one goes straight to the heart of it.

The Internet Is Being Captured. Here's How We Take It Back.

The internet was built to be open—but today, a handful of companies control much of our digital lives. What happens when your account, audience, identity, or ability to communicate can be taken away overnight? In this episode of We Are Satoshi, I sit down with Derek Ross and MK Fain of Soapbox to explore the future of a free and open internet. We talk about the internet becoming increasingly permissioned through KYC, digital ID, censorship and centralized platforms—and how Bitcoin, NOSTR, open-source software and other freedom technologies can help build an alternative. Derek shares the story of building an audience of over 1 million people on Google+—only to have Google shut the platform down, and why that experience changed how he thinks about digital ownership. We also get into Bitcoin crowdfunding in Venezuela, building alternatives to Discord and GitHub, decentralized identity, censorship, moderation, AI, the challenges of true decentralization, and why cryptographic money and cryptographic communication belong together. If you're a Bitcoin holder, developer, creator, or simply someone who cares about owning your digital life, this conversation is worth watching.

The Art of Synthesis and the Architecture of Value | Monika Bravo

Bitcoin was supposed to set us free—but has it been captured by the very system it was designed to escape? Polymath artist Monika Bravo joins me to explore Bitcoin’s identity crisis, sovereignty, AI, the architecture of value, and what it means to recover the spirit of Satoshi. Monika and I go deep on her upcoming book, The Art of Synthesis and the Architecture of Value, and the ideas shaping her work right now: subjective value, personal sovereignty, boundaries, identity, creativity, artificial intelligence, Bitcoin culture, trauma, ancient knowledge, and the relationship between consciousness and technology. We also explore whether Bitcoin’s increasing financialization is changing its culture, why Monika believes we shouldn’t turn Bitcoin—or its most prominent figures—into an ideology, and why value ultimately goes far deeper than price.

The Bitcoin Scaling Breakthrough Nobody Understands Yet

Marco Argentieri, founder and CEO of Ark Labs, explains how Ark could help scale Bitcoin without sacrificing decentralization or turning the network into another centralized financial system. We break down Ark vs. Lightning, Bitcoin improvement proposals, predictable transaction costs, and what it takes to build useful products on Bitcoin. In this episode of the We Are Satoshi Podcast, Marko explains why Bitcoin was never designed to hyperscale directly on-chain—and why that limitation may actually be one of its greatest strengths.We explore how Ark uses compression to make more efficient use of scarce block space, why Marko does not view it simply as another Layer 2 or a competitor to Lightning, and how Ark could provide businesses with more predictable costs and a better user experience.00:00 Intro00:49 Why Bitcoin Doesn’t Scale02:28 Ark: Bitcoin, Compressed03:56 Ark vs. Lightning07:14 Building for Scarce Block Space12:00 Predictable Fees for Bitcoin Businesses15:33 Who Is Already Using Ark?16:14 Why MarCo Chose to Build on Bitcoin20:45 Ark, Escrow and the Hodl Hodl Partnership24:23 Does Bitcoin Need to Evolve?30:20 Bitcoin’s Lost Programmability33:01 Which Bitcoin Upgrades Would Help Ark?35:15 Can Wall Street Influence Bitcoin’s Code?38:12 From Developer to CEO42:04 Why Ark Labs Raised Capital48:02 Choosing the Right Investors52:23 Marko’s Most Unpopular Bitcoin Opinion54:30 What Changes If Bitcoin Becomes Global Money?56:21 Nostr Is More Than Social Media59:21 Where to Follow Marco59:50 ClosingThis conversation is ultimately about more than scaling technology.

Can Bitcoin fix the broken music industry? In this episode of the We Are Satoshi Podcast, musician Ainsley Costello shares how Bitcoin, Lightning, and value-for-value streaming helped her earn more from her music than years on Spotify. Discover how platforms like Wavlake, Fountain, and Nostr are creating a new future for independent artists.Most artists spend years creating music only to watch the majority of their income disappear to middlemen. Ainsley Costello experienced that firsthand. After earning just $750 from six years of streaming on traditional platforms, she discovered Bitcoin and everything changed.Ainsley became the first artist on Wavlake to earn 1 million sats, later earning 5 million sats from just two Bitcoin-powered livestream performances. Her story isn't just about Bitcoin—it's about ownership, direct relationships with fans, and a new economic model that rewards creators instead of platforms.In this conversation from Camp Nakamoto, we discuss:Why Spotify's business model fails independent artistsHow Bitcoin micropayments change creator economicsValue-for-value and why it mattersWavlake, Fountain, and the future of music streamingNostr and building an audience you actually ownWhy artists understand Bitcoin faster than most people thinkHow Bitcoin removes middlemen from the creative economyWhat the future of independent music could look likeIf you enjoy conversations about Bitcoin, entrepreneurship, sovereignty, and people building a better future, subscribe for new episodes every week.Connect with Ainsley Costello• Wavlake: https://wavlake.com/• Fountain: https://fountain.fm/• Nostr: npub13qrrw2h4z52m7jh0spefrwtysl4psfkfv6j4j672se5hkhvtyw7qu0almySubscribe to We Are Satoshi► YouTube: https://youtube.com/@wearesatoshipod► X: https://x.com/thekylehuber► Nostr: kylehuber@primal.net► Website: https://kylehuber.comSubscribe to the channel and leave a comment with any questions or feedback!Support the POD!15% off at Born to Be Free Online Store: https://oshi.link/C2mHb0 Buy the Daylight Co DC-1: https://buy.daylightcomputer.com/WEARESATOSHI ($25 off with code: WeAreSatoshi) 15% OFF your order of earthy energy : https://liveearthy.co?bg_ref=c8KTLsLeKv (code KHuber) 10% off Chroma Blue Light Glasses and Other Products: https://getchroma.co/?ref=ixabomjq (code: KYLE10) SLNT Faraday Bags: https://slnt.com/?avad=428701_b45ea6cd1 Stream sats on Fountain: ⁠ https://fountain.fm/show/oNj9eSXpNudLR2XoMtKL Watch + subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WeAreSatoshiPod If you are interested in buying Bitcoin, River is the best place to do so: ⁠ https://river.com/signup?r=4JAPK6Q2⁠ Send me an email with feedback/questions: wearesatoshipod@gmail.comTimestamps:00:00 Intro00:30 The story that changed everything02:00 The first artist to earn 1 million sats03:15 Bitcoin finally paid musicians05:20 Why Spotify is broken06:20 Bitcoin removes the middlemen07:15 Getting artists on board08:05 The real adoption challenge08:50 Own your audience with Nostr10:25 Why artists create11:30 Has society killed creativity?12:05 Inside Camp Nakamoto13:10 Support Ainsley's music

Bitcoin Has a Marketing Problem | Bobby Shell

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.
