  • Bitcoin Is More Than Money. It Might Be a Physics Breakthrough
    2026/10/06

    What does Bitcoin have to do with physics, thermodynamics, entropy, information theory, and the nature of time itself? In this episode, Jack and Nick explore the idea that Bitcoin is more than a monetary network—it is a physical and informational system worth studying through the lens of fundamental physics.The conversation starts with proof of work and the often-repeated claim that Bitcoin is “backed by energy.” But what does that actually mean physically?

    Jack and Nick argue that Bitcoin creates a relationship between energy, computation, information, memory, and time that may give us a new way to think about concepts usually kept in separate academic disciplines. We get into thermodynamics, Shannon entropy, the double-spend problem, the measurement problem, conservation of information, discrete vs. continuous time, and the limits of our existing models of physics. Their thesis is not simply that Bitcoin uses energy, but that proof of work may connect physical work and information in a way that did not exist before Bitcoin. That leads to a much bigger question: What if we have been looking at Bitcoin through too narrow a lens?Jack and Nick challenge the assumption that Bitcoin should primarily be understood as money, economics, or computer science. Instead, they ask whether examining Bitcoin as a physical system could reveal something deeper about measurement, truth, entropy, and how information persists through time. We also explore the relationship between Bitcoin’s double-spend solution and the measurement problem in physics, why they believe these ideas are connected, and what that could mean for questions surrounding quantum computing and Bitcoin.

    These are ambitious and speculative ideas—but that is exactly the point of the conversation: to examine Bitcoin as an open experiment rather than assume we already understand what it is.

    This conversation is an invitation to examine Bitcoin from first principles—not as an investment, but as a 'thermological' system.#Physics #Bitcoin #Thermodynamics #Entropy #InformationTheory #ProofOfWork #QuantumPhysics #Complexity #Science #BitcoinPhysicsConnect With UsBitcoin Lens Website: https://bitcoinlens.net/Jack on Nostr: https://primal.net/jackkNick on X: https://x.com/PlebNickKyle on X: https://x.com/thekylehuberKyle on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kylehuber21/ Kyle's Website: https://kylehuber.com Kyle on Nostr: kylehuber@primal.net Support Yourself, Support the PODBasic Desktop Miner (US only): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GWGV9R36?maas=maas_adg_api_584437388399636114_static_8_616&ref_=aa_maas&tag=maas&aa_campaignid=weareSatoshi&aa_adgroupid=podcast&aa_creativeid=video-2026-0915% off at Born to Be Free Online Store: https://oshi.link/C2mHb0 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 Send me an email with feedback/questions: wearesatoshipod@gmail.comTimestamps:

  • The War on Freedom Tech Is Coming - Lea Thompson
    2026/09/28
    LeahThompson (Girl Gone Crypto) joins me to discuss AI, surveillance, self-custody, open-source software, and why she believes a war on freedom tech may be coming. We explore how Bitcoin fits into a world where AI can analyze enormous amounts of personal data, scams are becoming more sophisticated, and privacy is increasingly difficult to maintain. Lea has been creating Bitcoin and crypto content for nearly a decade and is now Head of Marketing at Cake Wallet. In this conversation at Bitcoin Asia in Hong Kong, we discuss what brought her into Bitcoin, why the original freedom-money ethos still matters, and what Bitcoiners should be thinking about as institutional adoption accelerates. We also get into Silent Payments and Bitcoin privacy, Cake Wallet’s new private messaging app, Radar, the growing relationship between Bitcoin and encrypted communication, and why making privacy tools simple enough for normal people may be just as important as the underlying technology. If you've ever asked: “Am I too late?” Leah explains why chasing cheap coins in the “crypto casino” can be a trap, why conviction matters more than owning an entire Bitcoin, and why understanding why you own Bitcoin is essential. Finally, Lea shares her advice for anyone who wants to stop being just a Bitcoin holder and actually build on Bitcoin—whether your skills are in development, marketing, media, design, or something entirely different. Topics include: Bitcoin privacy, AI and surveillance, freedom tech, open-source software, Cake Wallet, Silent Payments, private messaging, self-custody, hardware wallets, Bitcoin scams, institutional adoption, Monero, and building a career in Bitcoin.

  • Hong Kong Is Building a Bitcoin Economy
    2026/09/22

    Bitcoin merchant adoption is growing in Hong Kong—but does any of it matter if Bitcoiners refuse to actually spend their sats? Zach Wizenberg is helping turn Bitcoin from something people simply hold into money they can actually use.

    In this episode of We Are Satoshi, Zach and I sit down in Hong Kong to talk about what it takes to build a real Bitcoin economy. Zach and Gaelle have helped bring 28 merchantsonboard, while building a Bitcoin point-of-sale system designed to make accepting payments simple for everyday businesses.

    Zach makes the case that merchant adoption is ultimately a supply-and-demand problem: getting businesses to accept Bitcoin is only half the equation. If Bitcoiners never spend it, merchants have little reason to keep accepting it—and Bitcoin risks functioning primarily as a speculative asset instead of usable currency.


    Bitcoin isn't just something to save. It's money—and money is meant to be used.

    If you enjoy conversations with the people actually building the Bitcoin economy, subscribe to We Are Satoshi and share this episode with someone who believes Bitcoin can become more than a store of value.

  • The Missing Piece of Personal Sovereignty: Your Health
    2026/09/14

    What happens when you connect Bitcoin, health, wellness, and personal sovereignty?


    In this episode of We Are Satoshi, I sit down with Petra Anderson, founder of Zaprana, to explore why the systems that shape our money, health, food, and lives may have more in common than we realize.


    Petra comes from a background studying conflict and the systems behind civil wars and revolutions. Her journey eventually led her toward Bitcoin and the idea that some of the world's biggest problems can't be solved by simply trying to fix the existing system from within.


    We discuss decentralized health, Bitcoin as money, privacy, food sovereignty, time preference, and what it means to build businesses outside of traditional incentives.


    Zaprana is a marketplace where people can discover and pay for wellness services using Bitcoin — connecting Bitcoiners directly with people providing value without unnecessary intermediaries.


    If you believe in Bitcoin, what are you going to build?

  • The Bitcoin Civil War Nobody Talks About
    2026/09/09

    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.
    2026/09/01

    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
    2026/08/10

    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.
