The SatsMate Stack is a show about personal finance for the rugged world. This is where Bitcoin gives you full control over the keys to your money. We’re stuck in a debt-and-credit trap that crowns debtors and screws savers, pushing folks to gamble on stocks just to survive.
Enter the Orange Light: Bitcoin. I’ve been in this game for years, made the mistakes, and learned the hard way—SatsMate cuts through the biased noise with a clear-eyed take.
This focuses on financial education with a Bitcoin edge, built for anyone ready to break free. From my boots-on-the-ground lessons (El Salvador’s BTC streets, connections made at different conferences, and my decade + experience in the business world), I bridge the old money mess to a future where you call the shots & are in control. Made by a Bitcoiner for the curious, SatsMate is your playbook for financial sovereignty—debt-free, no bullshit.

Why Bonds Are Suboptimal Compared to Bitcoin!
The SatsMate Stack
02/02/24 • 6 min
Hi Everyone,
I'm sure many of us throughout our lives at some time have had exposure to bonds (whether it is paper physical bonds, those in our brokerage account, or in our retirement). We are living in a day and age where we need to protect ourselves against government borrowing, and inflation - and often times these investments have not kept rate with devaluation and current interest rates. In this podcast I discuss the following:
1) Patriot Bonds
2) Yields of 1,2,2.5%
3) Popular investments amongst advisors and the mainstream
4) Supporting of government money printing and debt
5) Bad investment in comparison to stocks, real estate
6) Value increases in small increments each year
7) Ethically supporting deficit spending
8) Bitcoin is a way out, to opt into a better form of money
What are your thoughts on bonds, do you think it is an inflation hedge?
Best Regards,

How the IMF & World Bank Hurt Poor Nations - Bitcoin as a Solution!
The SatsMate Stack
01/30/24 • 7 min
Hi Everyone,
As we know in the normal world, those who are down on their luck financially always have an opportunistic lender at arm's length ready to jump on the opportunity to charge a high-interest rate and bury that desperate person in debt.
This holds as well for countries. Many countries out there are very desperate as they are fighting high inflation, corruption, violence, and an entire host of issues that we don't see as common in first-world countries.
Organizations such as the IMF and the World Bank are eager to put other nations deep into debt when they get the chance. While on the surface it may look highly beneficial for the recipient country, often these loans cause financial hardship to those countries for years and decades to come. I highly recommend checking out Alex Gladstein's book Hidden Repression as it dives deep into each of the topics of this podcast. I hope you all enjoy!

How Bitcoin Fixes a Broken Incentive System!
The SatsMate Stack
01/28/24 • 8 min
Hey All,
Now more than ever we are seeing a broken incentive system play out in front of us with workers exploiting certain situations, politicians playing the stock market on the same industries they regulate and companies that should be focusing on safety instead focus on hiring a diverse workforce.
We are living in an age of upside down, where many things that we think would be normal are actually not normal. Below are some topics that I touch on in this podcast:
- Pandemic shortage of workers milking benefits and staying home
- High-time preference quarterly earnings mindset amongst workers
- Hiring based on diversity and inclusion
- Microsoft layoffs when stock hits all-time high
- Individuals taking advantage of Food Stamps and Salvation Army at the expense of the taxpayer or giver
I think Bitcoin can help solve a lot of this, but you all let me know what you think! Would a lower time preference in our money shift individuals away from our broken incentive system? I'd love to hear what you think!
Best Regards,

Debt Defaulting & Javier Milei's Warning on Socialism in the West!
The SatsMate Stack
01/20/24 • 6 min
Hi All,
What's been happening lately has been mind-blowing with our fiscal deficit in the U.S.A. Just a few short months ago we passed the $33 Trillion US National Debt, and here we are at the start of 2024 with $34 Trillion in US National Debt.
This system is absolutely broken. There will come a day where we can't pay our bills, and our government will need to die by fire or by ice.
In a recent speech by Javier Milei in Davos, he mentioned that the west needs to look at Argentina as a country that was once prosperous with capitalism but fell to the spell of socialism and lost essentially everything - and has been a ghost of itself ever since.
I believe many received this warning sign well, but in the end people always want a free handout without working & this will continue to increase in the coming decades as more jobs are being automated. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, do you think the U.S. is headed down the wrong route and we should heed Javier Milei's warning?
Best Regards,
SatsMate

Automating Your Finances - Savings, Bitcoin & Bills
The SatsMate Stack
11/08/23 • 6 min
Hi All,
In today's day and age, our time is so scarce and limited that we never have time to do many things that will really help us improve our lives.
Whether it is kids, work, activities, or competing priorities - we may not take the time to set up a strong foundation for automating one of the most important things in our lives- our investments.
In today's podcast I break down how each of these can be automated and scheduled (whether it is savings, bitcoin buys, bill pay, or something else), I think you will take a lot away from this and have a bunch more headspace because of it!

Bitcoin Whitepaper Turns 15 and Happy Halloween!
The SatsMate Stack
11/01/23 • 11 min
Hi All,
Happy Halloween everyone and happy Bitcoin Whitepaper turning 15 years old!
There was a lot of intentionality behind the Bitcoin protocol, that many of us can't even put words to all that we see working like a clock behind the scenes day in and out.
The Bitcoin whitepaper is a timeless masterpiece that concisely provides the world with what this protocol aims to do.
There are many nods I believe Satoshi gives everyone whether that is Martin Luther, Samhain festival, or the general spirit of Halloween - hiding one's true identity.
Hope you all enjoy this one!

Bitcoin as an Impenetrable Shield in a Recession!
The SatsMate Stack
02/19/24 • 9 min
Hi All,
Over the past couple of months, we have seen risk assets soar, value stocks trade sideways, and everyday currencies debased.
Bitcoin being a commodity has some excellent qualities that help position itself in a unique camp unlike stocks, bonds, or traditional currencies. What helps it outperform regular commodities is its ability to be moved throughout time and space with ease, something that can't be done too easily with gold, silver, copper, etc.
In today's podcast, I dive into how Bitcoin could be a shield in a recession. It has many qualities that uniquely position itself in a camp of its own, and I think it is worth exploring the following:
- Whether banks fail or not, there is a strong case that one is protected
- Recessions lead to bailouts/stimmies = higher bitcoin
- Nature is healing, overextended people fall
- People with high debt-to-income ratios tend to face the music quicker
- Holding the bearer asset
- Sorts out the way things should be
What are your thoughts? Do you think Bitcoin could help individuals weather a recession easier?
Kind Regards,
SatsMates

A Warning of Altcoin Traders, Shillers, & Scammers!
The SatsMate Stack
03/20/24 • 9 min
What's Up, Everyone!?
We just entered this huge hype cycle a few short years ago and are now hearing all about it! People are making a lot of money on extremely speculative plays and it is causing more and more people to fall for the hype and enter risky bets.
In today's podcast, I will discuss these important topics:
- Terra Luna experienced losing all my money
- Being in crypto to make a quick buck
- Office normies being up several hundred percent on certain investments
- Certain people investing heavily in altcoin and meme-coin garbage
- Casino metaphor and losing big money gambling
- Influencers, pumpers, and chillers posting about certain coins
- Rugs being played out in real life and CSR being found out not to be Satoshi by the court of law
- A culture of clouting things we don't own
- Bitcoiners touting ETFs being good for Bitcoin when in reality it is open for government capture in the next couple of years
- Understanding why we are in Bitcoin, and remaining level-headed with investments
- High-time preference behavior, sky-high prices in everything - and individuals trying to eke out small gains as things are breaking
- My History losing all my own money trading alts
What are your thoughts on meme coins, alts, and these speculative plays? Do you think we will see more regulation in this space soon, or do you think we are past all this?

What Made Me Finally Understand Bitcoin!
The SatsMate Stack
04/05/24 • 9 min
Hello SatsMate Crew!
Like many of you, I've had a Bitcoin story over the past decade where I heard about it, moved on, heard about it, and bought a tiny amount, and moved on. It never really stuck with me until around 2020 and I went down the rabbit hole. In today's podcast, I go over my story with Bitcoin, and the things that finally got me to understand it on a deeper level. Specifically, I go over:
- It became legal tender in El Salvador Around 2021
- Traveling to El Salvador and seeing how it works in person
- The debasement of the money openly and in a deceitful manner by the government
- Money doesn’t need to be legal tender by the decree of the government rather than - - the buy-in of the people
- The people building on top of it
- Hundreds of hours of podcasts and attending several Bitcoin meetups/conferences
- Seeing the working man get screwed by price hikes while banks get bailed out and
- Billionaires by private jets with PPP money
Overall, I would love to hear what made you understand Bitcoin! Was it something you casually ran into, or was it something you started to learn about slowly overtime?
Best Regards,
SatsMate

Bitcoin Tax in Argentina Removed! The Rise of Freedom!
The SatsMate Stack
02/03/24 • 6 min
Hi Everyone,
As many of us are aware, Javier Milei was recently elected into office in Argentina as the President. For several decades now Argentina has been experiencing high hyperinflation which negatively impacts those who don't hold assets, and it causes people throughout the economy to feel more stress financially.
In today's podcast, I go over many important aspects of how this Bitcoin regulation will help benefit the country, while concurrently addressing libertarian ideology. The discussion points are as follows:
1) No More Tax on BTC/Crypto
2) Javier Milei aims to revitalize and transform Argentina
3) 180%+ Hyperinflation historically, a focus on harder money
4) Cutting down the government, bureaucracy, and red tape
5) The necessity of economic reform
6) The free market has spoken
I'd love to hear what everyone's thoughts are. Is Argentina positioned to be a possible success story with bitcoin, and hard money?
Best Regards,
