In this episode of Sat Chats Rehash, we revisit three guests who showed us radically different paths into (and out of) Bitcoin—and what those choices reveal about freedom, risk, and values.
We start with Blockchain Wayne, the Louisiana Bitcoiner who lost $36K in equities, smashed $3K into a Bitcoin ATM, and has been stacking $50/week ever since. Then we follow Ingo, a sovereign German expat living in Mexico, who turned Bitcoin into a tool for complete life design. Finally, we unpack the paradox of Robin, an economist and early internet pioneer who rubbed elbows with Hal Finney… and SHOCKED us with his 'sats or cash' choice.
We cover:
✅ Why financial pain is often the gateway to Bitcoin conviction
✅ How $50/week in Bitcoin since 2017 can quietly build six-figure wealth
✅ What it really looks like to live a sovereign, borderless life
✅ The surprising reason an economist said “no” to free sats
✅ What we got wrong—and what we’ve since cleaned up

Their stories span smash buys, sovereign citizenships, and philosophical stand-offs. But they all bring us back to the same question: are you stacking sats—or just stacking excuses?
