In this episode, we finally recap Lake Satoshi and why it felt so uniquely familiar to me: not just as a Bitcoin gathering, but as something with the vibe, openness, and weird magic of a Phish festival. We talk about the atmosphere on the ground, the people we connected with, and why the event’s camping format and community energy made such a strong impression. We also reflect on how the weather, the mud, and the general chaos gave this year’s experience a much rougher edge than expected, while still revealing how meaningful it is to gather with people who genuinely understand this strange overlap of Bitcoin, music, and friendship.We also get into a wider conversation about podcasting, clubhouse culture, Bitcoin social drama, and the stress of navigating the recent Coldcard security scare while being mostly offline at Lake Satoshi. That leads us into a deeper discussion about self-custody, trust, and what it feels like to have your setup mentally stress-tested in real time. Along the way, we spiral into Gamehendge, Colonel Forbin, Harpua-style narration, and the ongoing attempt to map Bitcoin personalities and conflicts onto Phish mythology—because at this point, that’s just part of how we make sense of the world.
