Why Will Governments Target Bitcoiners? | Ep. 75 — #75 Konrad

<p>In this episode of Sat Chats, we meet Konrad Fitzpatrick—Canadian Bitcoiner, ex-bank teller, and the grandson of Polish immigrants who lived through communism. His first exposure to Bitcoin came through RuneScape gold arbitrage, but it wasn’t long before he started orange-pilling 80-year-old customers at his bank and studying fiat’s collapse from behind the counter.</p> <p>We unpack how fear, anger, and greed all play a role in orange-pilling, why older folks sometimes “get it” faster than Gen Z, and why Konrad believes Executive Order 6102 is coming for Bitcoiners next—unless you self-custody.</p> <p>We cover:</p> <p>✅ Gold confiscation, the Petrodollar, and Nixon's 1971 move</p> <p>✅ Why salary raises are a lie in a fiat system</p> <p>✅ Lightning vs. Western Union: cost and speed showdown</p> <p>✅ How Bitcoin builds “financial muscles” for the future</p> <p>✅ Roasted Red Pepper hummus and canceled fiat envelopes</p> <p>Konrad clearly knows his stuff—but he still has to choose: 46,955 sats or $50 in fiat. Does he trust the math… or the paper?</p> <p>Support Sat Chats directly by:</p> <p>— Zapping Lightning to [email protected]</p> <p>— Grabbing your slot in the studio today at https://satchats.com/</p> <p>— Sending Bitcoin to bc1q5yrwe6qxujzumg5j28g0rvckx9n859sa08fupc</p> <p>Links for today’s Show Notes:</p> <p>Bitcoin Well:</p> <p>https://www.bitcoinwell.com</p> <p>https://twitter.com/TheBitcoinWell</p> <p>https://www.bitcoinwell.com/satchats (affiliate link with exclusive onboarding video and bonuses)</p> <p>Executive Order 6102 (Gold Confiscation History):</p> <p>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_6102</p> <p>Alex Gladstein’s Article on the Petrodollar (recommended reading):</p> <p>https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/u-s-petrodollar-system</p> <p>Sat Chats Giveaway (10 Million Sats Contest):</p> <p>https://www.satchats.com/giveaway</p>
