1816: Boomer Knowledge

Bitcoin Satoshis and the End of the Penny

A donation of over one million Satoshis prompts a discussion on the declining utility of small currency, specifically the US penny. The hosts note that it now costs four cents to manufacture a single cent, leading to calls for its retirement. They also revisit a classic "donation strategy" involving the sight of a stop sign as a psychological trigger for listeners to contribute to the show.
