Hey SatsMate Stackers,

I hope you are all doing well! For the past several weeks, I traveled to several Bitcoin conferences. In this podcast, I go over both conferences and share some of my final thoughts. Specifically, I go over the following:

• Attended Bitcoin Vegas and Bitcoin Prague over the past month.
• Conferences are key for networking, connecting with Bitcoin enthusiasts, and getting firsthand industry insights.

Bitcoin Vegas:

• Mixed experience: fiat-heavy, expensive, and some shady #*@#coiners.
• Navigated the right circles, had fun, and made it worthwhile.
• Highlight: Ross’s incredible speech and meeting leaders at side events.
• Least favorite compared to Miami and Nashville; rated 6/10.

Bitcoin Prague:

• Standout event: intimate, focused on genuine networking, fewer scams.
• Some salesy booths, but the Primal booth was fun; enjoyed Czech pints while watching speakers or on the patio.
• Affordable food trucks; the only downside was the slightly remote location.
• Rated 9/10.

Final Thoughts:

• Bitcoin maxis should try international conferences like Prague over mainstream BTC events.
• Hesitant to attend another conference soon, but would likely choose one abroad for a better experience.

Hey Satsmate Stackers,

We are currently going through a huge shift in how we work as a society. Robotics and AI is automating many of the tasks that we used to spend hours doing.

I think the future of work will be more high-skilled, and a lot of the lower-skilled positions will get automated away. With that, I think it is important that we prepare ourselves and properly reskill for this ever-changing world. In this podcast, we go over the following:

• AI & Automation Reshape Work: AI, robotics, and data analytics streamline processes, automating repetitive tasks across industries.
• Hybrid Work Dominates: Flexible hybrid models will outpace rigid 5-day office mandates, boosting talent retention.
• Jobs Shift to High-Skill Roles: Tactical tasks like data entry or basic accounting will decline; high-skill, creative roles will surge.
• AI Eliminates Mundane Tasks: AI will remove boring, low-value job functions, freeing workers for strategic contributions.
• Knowledge Becomes Universal: AI-powered tools grant instant access to global knowledge, empowering rapid upskilling.
• Gig Economy Grows: Contract work will rise, with traditional full-time incomes declining, pushing skill diversification.
• Global Talent Wins: Companies will tap worldwide talent for cost-effective, high-quality skills over local hires.
• Skill Pivoting Is Essential: Skills have a short shelf life; continuous learning is critical to stay relevant.
• Jobs at Risk, New Roles Emerge: Driving, fast-food, and entry-level jobs will fade; tech repair and literacy roles will grow.
• Tech Drives Business: Tech divisions will lead operations, retail, and more, demanding tech-savvy workers.
• Skill Up Now: Embrace lifelong learning and continuous improvement to thrive in this evolving landscape.

Hey SatsMate Stackers,

Today is an enormous day in Bitcoin, as for the first time, the medium of exchange narrative is playing out in front of our very eyes in the U.S! For the longest time, many naysayers would say I can't pay for this or that with Bitcoin, but now you can! In today's podcast, I go over the following topics and why this is such an exciting day in Bitcoin!

• One of the most exciting developments is happening with Bitcoin, and I’m thrilled to see progress on the medium of exchange front.
• Over the past few years, many countries have developed circular economies using Bitcoin.
• Notable examples include Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador (El Zonte).
• Other examples include Lugano, Bitcoin Jungle, and Bitcoin Beach Brazil (see the Federation of Bitcoin Circular Economies: https://fbce.io/btc-circular-economies-1).
• In the U.S., a major issue has been businesses’ reluctance to accept Bitcoin.
• This reluctance stems from a lack of infrastructure, limited knowledge, unclear regulations, and tax implications.
• Many Bitcoin enthusiasts have advocated for its use, but widespread adoption has been slow.
• It’s a classic chicken-and-egg problem, but things are finally changing!
• Steak ‘n Shake announced a few days ago that they will begin accepting Bitcoin starting May 16, 2025.
• With approximately 400 locations, the brand serves over 100 million customers annually.
• This is a significant milestone for the U.S., as many believe Bitcoin’s store-of-value narrative is well-established, and now the medium-of-exchange narrative is gaining traction.
• In two weeks, we plan to visit a Steak ‘n Shake and record our experience for you.
• A key question is whether they will convert the Bitcoin to cash or hold it as Bitcoin.
• We expect more businesses to follow suit in the coming months as America emerges as the Bitcoin capital of the world!
• Spend and replace, everyone—let the sats flow!
