The SatsMate Stack
The SatsMate Stack is a show about personal finance for the rugged world. This is where Bitcoin gives you full control over the keys to your money. We’re stuck in a debt-and-credit trap that crowns debtors and screws savers, pushing folks to gamble on stocks just to survive.
Enter the Orange Light: Bitcoin. I’ve been in this game for years, made the mistakes, and learned the hard way—SatsMate cuts through the biased noise with a clear-eyed take.
This focuses on financial education with a Bitcoin edge, built for anyone ready to break free. From my boots-on-the-ground lessons (El Salvador’s BTC streets, connections made at different conferences, and my decade + experience in the business world), I bridge the old money mess to a future where you call the shots & are in control. Made by a Bitcoiner for the curious, SatsMate is your playbook for financial sovereignty—debt-free, no bullshit.

Why Can't Financial Advisors Recommend Bitcoin?
Hi Satsmate Stackers!
We are living in an age when many traditional finance folks will advise their clients on Bitcoin in an effort to help capture the upside potential in the bull market to come.
In this podcast, I go over the following topics, but I also try to shed light on the historical aspects of why many advisors have cold feet when recommending this asset. Specifically, I go over the following:
- Old-school finance folks tend to be the last to embrace Bitcoin.
- Regulatory uncertainty has long been a key reason traditional advisors shy away from recommending Bitcoin.
- Its sketchy reputation in the early 2010s—often tied to drug trafficking and illicit activity—created lasting misconceptions.
- Bitcoin’s high volatility poses risks for advisors, especially when clients have shorter investment timelines.
- For the financially minded, Bitcoin’s valuation doesn’t align with stocks or bonds, leaving many family offices stuck in limbo.
- Infrastructure gaps persist, which is why many now prefer Bitcoin exposure through ETFs over holding it directly.
- Reputational risks loom large—advisors unfamiliar with Bitcoin might’ve been burned by collapses like Celsius, FTX, or Voyager.
- Things are shifting with Trump’s influence, positive executive orders, younger advisors, and clearer regulations paving the way.
- Even as advisors warm up, they’ll likely start small, allocating just 1–3% of client portfolios to Bitcoin.
As always, I enjoyed putting this one together - and am consistently looking forward to bitcoin, economics, and finance!
