Money grows on Merkle Trees | Ep. 151 - No 140

In this episode of Sat Chats, Evan (local NC builder and BTC++ organizer) walks us through the technical heart of Bitcoin — but at a level any curious beginner can follow. Evan explains how blocks are validated, how hashing and proof-of-work make Bitcoin unforgeable, why the difficulty adjustment is a self-healing miracle, and what “decaying block subsidy” means for the total supply.We also talk Merkle trees (the data structure that proves transactions), solo mining with an ASIC like the BitAxe, and how local meetups like BTC++ are growing the technical community in North Carolina. If you’ve ever wondered how Bitcoin is actually created or why there will never be more than 21 million coins, this is the episode that makes it click.⬇️⬇️⬇️Sat Chats is the Bitcoin welcome center for the curious, cautious, and not-quite-coiners.Every episode ends with the same question:$50 in cash… or $50 in Bitcoin?If you're new to Bitcoin or want to grab your slot in the studio:👉 https://satchats.comSupport Sat Chats:⚡ Zap to: [email protected]🎥 Sponsor the show or book your appearance via the links in the description.💰 Donate Bitcoin: bc1q5yrwe6qxujzumg5j28g0rvckx9n859sa08fupcSat Chats is for educational purposes only and should not be considered financial advice.#bitcoin #inflation #hairdresser #bitcoinpodcast #futureofmoney #soundmoney #satchats
