👋 GM & Merry Christmas Nostr 🎄💜, the 238rd episode of Satoshi’s Plebs podcast is out now! Episode 238: Were We Wrong About Bitcoin in 2025? In this year-end review episode, we ( @Kenshin 🥷 & @McIntosh ) take an honest look at our 2025 predictions and how they held up against reality. Bitcoin started the year around $94k with high expectations, hit $122k in October, but closed near $87k - not quite the moonshot we anticipated. The institutional adoption we were excited about brought mixed results, with Wall Street playing their own games rather than simply pumping the price. We reflect on what went right and wrong this year - from the disappointing lack of meaningful progress on the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve to the continued regulatory challenges in Europe. Despite missing our price targets, the fundamentals remain strong and adoption continues to grow. 🔊 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 Dec 23rd, 2025: $87,770 USD | 74,450 Euro Block Height at Time of Recording 929,162 Episode Page https://satoshis-plebs.com/episode-238 Music Credits The Top Hats Orchestra - Nut Cracker Suite The Top Hats Orchestra - Let It Snow #Bitcoin #podcast #v4v #value4value #GM #GN #Nostr #plebchain #plebs #grownostr #satoshisplebs #christmas2025 #christmas #merrychristmas #xmas #xmas2025 #yearinreview

👋 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

👋 GM Nostr, the 218th episode of Satoshi’s Plebs podcast is out! Episode 218: Ready for a Million Dollar Bitcoin? In this episode of Satoshi's Plebs, @McIntosh explores the concept of preparing for a million-dollar Bitcoin, arguing that Bitcoin will either reach that milestone or go to zero - and the latter seems highly unlikely at this point. Drawing from Bitcoin's historical performance, he notes that investments have often seen 10x returns over five-year periods, suggesting current prices around $118,000 could potentially reach $1 million within similar timeframes. 🔊 Listen and boost us on Fountain:
