In this episode, McIntosh and Kenshin talk through what it actually looks like to start building a business from scratch in a world shaped by both Bitcoin and AI. The conversation stays practical and grounded, covering the excitement of new ideas, the frustration of getting tools and workflows to behave reliably, and the reality that building something useful is usually messier and slower than people like to admit. They also dig into the bigger picture of what kinds of businesses might make sense going forward, especially ones built around Bitcoin payments, Lightning, sovereignty, and automation. Along the way, they reflect on common reasons Bitcoin-focused projects struggle, why user experience still matters, and how AI may lower the barrier for individuals and small teams to launch real products. The result is a thoughtful discussion about opportunity, timing, and what it takes to turn an idea into something sustainable.Bitcoin Price at Time of RecordingMarch 24, 2026: 69,300 $USD | 59,800 €EURBlock Height942,036Music CreditsJaded Jester Websitehttps://satoshis-plebs.comPodcasting 2.0 Apps available at http://podcastapps.com and Value4Value information page available here: https://value4value.infoMcIntosh can be reached by email at mcintosh@satoshis-plebs.com and on Twitter at @McIntoshFinTech.
