Satoshi's PlebsEpisode 218 - Ready for a Million Dollar Bitcoin?In this episode of Satoshi's Plebs, McIntosh explores the concept of preparing for a million-dollar Bitcoin, arguing that Bitcoin will either reach that milestone or go to zero - and the latter seems highly unlikely at this point.

Think again. While mainstream media spins this as bad news, we explain why this scarcity is exactly what makes Bitcoin so powerful for regular people.
