·1 hr 16 min·5 clips
Bitcoin just smashed past 100,000, and the hosts are so bullish they delayed recording because they 'can't get over it.'
The episode begins with hosts Sirius and Markus expressing bullish excitement as Bitcoin's price exceeds 100,000, leading them to delay recording. They reflect on market psychology, noting how people panic whether the price is high or low. Sirius shares a story about asking a Jehovah's Witness, a former banker, why prices are rising; the witness blamed corporations, not money printing. The conversation shifts to macroeconomic bubbles, comparing current AI hype to past dot-com and railway booms. They introduce 'Nodevember,' encouraging listeners to maintain their Bitcoin nodes, update software, and manage Lightning channels during a quiet market period. A technical segment details a problem with their BTC Pay Server where transactions weren't appearing due to a gap limit issue, emphasizing that Bitcoin funds are never truly lost. The hosts review useful Bitcoin tools: Boltz for Lightning swaps, Alby for Nostr integrations and streaming micropayments, and Thunderhub for node data. Community updates include Gigi's new njump.to service for Nostr link mirroring and the upcoming Satoshi's Eve New Year's party in Trier. They advertise the BitBox02 hardware wallet and discuss regulatory changes affecting KYC requirements from December. The episode concludes with two new Seedfinder puzzle words for the community to solve and shoutouts to events like the Bitcoin Baden conference.
