Einundzwanzig, der Bitcoin Podcast

Einundzwanzig is a German Bitcoin show built from strong opinions, technical curiosity, and the kind of group banter that keeps interrupting itself. It treats Bitcoin less as a headline asset than as a daily operating system. Nodes matter. Lightning channels matter. Wallet connections, Nostr clients, inbound liquidity, app permissions, Docker containers, and home-network isolation all get real airtime. The conversations can become sharply practical. A discussion of new node software turns into questions about modularity, security boundaries, and whether Bitcoin apps can be kept from touching the rest of a private network. That is the serious side. It is never the only side. The same feed also contains boat recordings from Croatia, pufferfish detours, sailing mishaps, sleepy crew updates, and long jokes that seem to wander before snapping back to Bitcoin culture. The show’s humor is dry, blunt, and deliberately messy. It enjoys the absurd example as much as the macro argument. Price talk becomes a joke about being too bullish to record on time. Inflation becomes beer and fries costing too much. Politics is handled with the same lack of varnish. The Argentina episodes with Dr Ingo Sauer move through capitalism, taxation, public spending, culture funding, and German comparisons. The show is openly combative about state power and redistribution, while still allowing a guest to describe the harsher tradeoffs of market discipline. That tension gives the better conversations their charge. It is not a clean explainer series. It is closer to a recurring Bitcoin table where technical practice, ideology, jokes, travel stories, and value-for-value culture all keep colliding.
