Puppies, Privacy, and the Panopticon: Ring’s "Search Party" Nightmare

Welcome to the Silicon Satoshi podcast. In this episode, we are venting our absolute frustration with the latest technology rolling out from Amazon’s Ring. What they are marketing as a heartwarming "Search Party" feature to find lost dogs is being called out for what it really looks like: a dystopian dragnet. We dig into the heavy backlash following their Super Bowl ad and the terrifying implications of turning neighborhood cameras into AI-powered surveillance tools. From "cute" pet features to the reality of mass facial recognition without consent, we discuss why experts and leaders like Senator Ed Markey are warning that this "definitely isn't about dogs". Join us as we break down why this is a massive privacy red flag for everyone not just pet owners. Thanks for listening!

The Birth of an AI-Native Society: OpenClaw and the Rise of Autonomous Agents

In this episode of Silicon Satoshi, we explore OpenClaw, an open-source personal AI assistant that’s being called an “iPhone moment” for computing. Unlike traditional chatbots, OpenClaw operates locally on your machine with real agency: it can use your mouse and keyboard, run commands, manage files, browse the web, and proactively assist through persistent memory and autonomous check-ins. But the story doesn’t stop there. What began as a productivity tool has evolved into something far stranger: agent-only social networks, AI marketplaces, and underground ecosystems where autonomous agents interact, hire each other, and trade capabilities, often without direct human oversight. Is this the first glimpse of a truly AI-native digital society? Or just an elaborate illusion driven by human prompts? We break down the technology, the culture, the controversy, and the philosophical implications of a world where software doesn’t just respond—but acts.

The November Reset: Why Crypto’s Brutal Selloff Could Trigger a Pivot Toward $100K Bitcoin

Welcome back to The Silicon Satoshi November 2025 delivered one of the harshest resets in recent crypto history driven by nearly $3.5B in net spot ETF outflows and massive liquidation cascades wiping out $20B+ in leverage. Bitcoin plunged from near $110K into the low $90Ks, while Ethereum dropped over 21%. But is this the start of a deeper downturn or the exhaustion phase before a major pivot? In this episode, we break down the data signaling that sellers may finally be running out of steam. We examine why institutional infrastructure continues quietly expanding, how firms like BlackRock and Fidelity remain firmly positioned, and why key support zones $90K for BTC and 2,960 – 3,100 for ETH are becoming battlegrounds for smart money. We also explore Ethereum’s accelerated “Fusaka” upgrade, targeting ~100,000 TPS, and the approaching macro “flip” from liquidity drain to net easing. Together, these forces could set the stage for a more constructive start to 2026 and potentially reopen the path toward a six-figure Bitcoin.

Chain Split Crisis: How Cardano Survived a "Worst Case Scenario" Network Attack

Relive the tumultuous 48 hours (November 20,22, 2025) when the Cardano mainnet experienced an unprecedented chain partition. A malformed delegation transaction exploited an obscure deserialization bug in the node software, causing the blockchain to temporarily run on two parallel ledgers the "healthy" chain and the "poisoned" chain. Learn about the immediate developer response, which involved forming an emergency "war room" and rushing out hotfixes (like node version 10.5.3) for stake pool operators (SPOs) to install. While the incident was condemned as a "premeditated attack" and led to a sharp drop in ADA’s price, the network never went fully offline. Discover how the resilient protocol survived this "catastrophic event," leading to the network’s convergence back to a single, unified chain without any loss of end-user funds. #Cardano #ADA #ChainSplit #Blockchain #Ouroboros #NetworkAttack #NodeBug #CryptoRecovery #SPO
