Sats Terminal is the first native Bitcoin super app, bringing together Bitcoin loans, yield, and trading in a single interface and developer SDK. Sats Terminal is backed by YZi Labs (formerly Binance Labs), Coinbase Ventures, and Draper Associates.The founders of Sats Terminal recently joined the Bitcoin.com News Podcast to talk about the technology.Stan Havryliuk (CEO and Co-Founder) and Rishabh Java (CTO and Co-Founder) of Sats Terminal shared their journey, starting with their backgrounds in crypto and fintech. Stan had previous experience with Bitcoin.com and running a large Eastern European exchange, while Java had built and sold a fintech company, finding crypto to be a more open building environment. The inspiration for Sats Terminal stemmed from a highly problematic user experience Stan encountered while trading BRC20s, which resulted in him overpaying significantly for a single token. This incident highlighted a clear need for good, user-friendly interfaces in the growing Bitcoin DeFi market to encourage wider adoption. The two founders met online while working on a previous project and formalized their partnership after meeting in person in Buenos Aires.The company secured notable financial backing from major investors. Java's connection to Coinbase Ventures was established after winning an AI agent hackathon at their San Francisco office, which led to a successful pitch. Stan described how they were quickly accepted into the YZi Labs (aka Binance Labs) accelerator program after applying shortly before the deadline on a friend's recommendation, benefiting from a good product growth trajectory at the time. They also received early backing from the Draper family of VCs, including Draper Associates, Draper Dragon, and Boost VC. Stan's key advice for aspiring startups seeking funding is to "just keep building" and iterating fast, emphasizing that consistency compounds into success, alongside networking and participating in hackathons.Java elaborated on the evolution of native Bitcoin assets, moving from Ordinals to BRC20s and then to the improved Runes standard. He reported that Sats Terminal has already captured approximately 70% of the market share for trading Runes, showcasing their success in the ecosystem. They also acknowledged that the Bitcoin ecosystem's complexity, due to the lack of a central authority, means the market will ultimately decide which token standard becomes the long-term winner.The core of Sats Terminal's vision is encapsulated in their motto: "never sell your Bitcoin," but instead to make it work through products like trading, earning, and borrowing. Stan highlighted their belief that Bitcoin is the "only pristine collateral for loans," and their products are laying the groundwork for Bitcoin's transition from "digital gold" to a "productive asset." Java detailed their Borrow product as a self-custody, trust-minimized cross-chain loan solution where users can collateralize their Bitcoin for a loan without KYC. Stan announced that the first version of the Earn product, designed to simplify DeFi complexity for end-users, is being finalized and expected to go live in the next few weeks.Stan Havryliuk, CEO and Co-Founder of Sats Terminal, early Bitcoin investor and Web3 veteran with over eight years of experience scaling crypto businesses worldwide. Ex-Bitcoin.com and zondacrypto.com (BitBay.com).Rishabh Java, CTO and Co-Founder of Sats Terminal, serial entrepreneur, inventor, and Bitcoin builder with a proven track record of creating great technologies.

In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar sits down with Paul Draper to talk about Mansun Retold — a project shaped by distance, perspective, and the strange experience of meeting your younger self through song. Watch the full video conversation. Releasing on 20 February, Mansun Retold sees Draper revisit and reimagine key songs from the Mansun catalogue, rebuilding them from the ground up as full-band, acoustic unplugged recordings. Rather than revisiting the past for nostalgia's sake, the album is about clarity — hearing familiar songs anew, stripped of urgency, ego, and expectation. Recorded at The Loft Studios in Surrey, the album was co-produced by Paul Draper alongside Paul "PDub" Walton (The Cure, U2, Björk, Massive Attack, Oasis). The sessions feature a string quartet arranged and led by Audrey Riley (Muse, Coldplay, Nick Cave), with drums performed by Julian Fenton — Mansun's original early-era drummer. Draper performs acoustic bass, acoustic lead and rhythm guitar, and piano throughout the record. In this conversation, Draper reflects on the emotional weight of returning to songs so closely tied to his own life, how he decided which tracks felt ready to be retold, and the responsibility he feels toward fans who have lived with this music for decades. He also talks about life beyond music, creative fulfilment, and how Mansun Retold is intended to be experienced — not as a retrospective, but as a living record, rooted firmly in the present.

Outdoor News: Record Bighorn Sheep Taken in North Dakota According to KFYR TV, Thirty-year-old Nick Schmitz of, N.D., shot the ram from 346 yards on Oct. 31, west of Grassy Butte, with his .270 Winchester, Leupold LP 5 scope, using Federal Fusion 130 grain rounds. The ram was officially scored a 194. The 10.5-year-old ram weighed 264 pounds off the hoof. The previous state record was 186 3/8 and was held by David Suda of Fargo. The world record was shot in South Dakota in 2018 by Clayton Miller, scoring 209 1/8. Reference: https://www.kfyrtv.com/2025/11/12/mekinock-nd-hunter-shoots-state-record-bighorn-sheep/ Montana National Guard Pilot Fined for Using Military Helicopter to Collect Elk Antlers According to Outdoor Life, a Montana National Guard helicopter pilot has pleaded no contest after using a military aircraft to collect elk antlers on a private ranch without permission. Deni Lynn Draper, a part-time National Guard pilot, admitted no contest to a criminal trespassing charge tied to a May 2025 incident in Sweet Grass County. Prosecutors say Draper and two other servicemen landed a Black Hawk helicopter on a private ranch to gather shed elk antlers. Draper was fined $500, the maximum penalty for the misdemeanor, and his sentencing was deferred for six months. If he avoids further legal trouble, the charge could be cleared from his record. The judge said Draper was held to a higher standard because of his military service. As part of the agreement, Draper also gave up any claim to the antlers, which were seized by state wildlife officials and will be returned to the landowner. The other two servicemen involved have pleaded not guilty and still face criminal trespassing charges, with court hearings scheduled later this month. The Montana National Guard confirmed it conducted a separate internal investigation into the incident. Guard leaders say policies have since been updated to strictly ban antler collecting on any land using military resources. Officials emphasized that while the court case addresses trespassing, additional consequences could still come through military channels, reinforcing that misuse of government equipment will not be tolerated.

For years now on Know Your Enemy, we've taken the January 6, 2021 insurrection as a glimpse of Trumpism unbound—not a few naive Q-anon types and tourists bumbling around, and not an excuse to be blackmailed into voting for Democrats, but a violent prelude to what a second Trump term would be like, a judgment that, sadly, has been entirely vindicated. One reason we've taken this perspective is Robert Draper's exceptionally insightful reporting from the Capitol that day and the days that followed, beginning with being in the Capitol on January 6 and seeing first hand the MAGA mob's unfolding violence, then following figures like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Paul Gosar, Kevin McCarthy, and others who followed Dear Leader's coattails to power, offering fascinating portraits of the menagerie of conspiracy theorists, liars, and frauds at the center of power in Trump's Washington. We discuss what Draper experienced on January and what he's learned since about the motivations behind, and meaning, of the riot, then ask him about Greene, Nick Fuentes, and Charlie Kirk, all of whom he's profiled in the last year.Sources:Robert Draper, Weapons of Mass Delusion: When the Republican Party Lost Its Mind (2022)— To Start a War: How the Bush Administration Took America into Iraq (2020)— When the Tea Party Comes to Town: Inside the U.S. House of Representatives' Most Combative, Dysfunctional, and Infuriating Term in Modern History (2012)— Dead Certain: The Presidency of George W.

Some conversations stay with you long after you hit "stop" on the recorder—and my time with Gabe Draper is absolutely one of them. I've known Gabe for years, but I never fully understood the depth of the journey he endured as he attempted to take over, stabilize, and ultimately shut down the family machine shop. His story isn't just informative; it's gut-wrenching, enlightening, and, ultimately, incredibly redemptive. In this episode, Gabe walks me through the emotional roller coaster of trying to save a failing shop, the painful impact of relying too heavily on one industry, and the personal toll that comes with missing payroll, laying off loyal teammates, and breaking the news to family. He opens up about the lowest day of his life—standing in a bank beside his pregnant wife, signing loan documents just to keep the lights on. It's raw. It's honest. And it's a reality far too many shops live too close to. But this isn't a story of defeat. Gabe's experience became the crucible that forged his passion for helping job shops grow. Today, he's the CEO of Factur, a company dedicated to solving the exact problem that led to his shop's collapse: the lack of consistent, proactive sales. The contrast between where he's been and where he's landed is powerful, and it's a reminder that failure—while brutal—can become one of our greatest teachers. My hope in sharing Gabe's story is simple: to help other shop owners avoid the same painful outcomes, especially when the warning signs are subtle. This episode is a cautionary tale, a leadership lesson, and, ultimately, a story of resilience. I'm grateful Gabe trusted this community enough to tell it.  You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...

Today we start a new series called “Christmas at the Movies”, with Pastor Chase teaching The Miracle is Belief. The real Miracle on 34th street is how hearts are changed from DOUBT and cynicism to BELIEF and HOPE.   “Christmas isn't just a day, it's a frame of mind.”  And that is sometimes what we forget about during this season.  The actual story of Christmas, the birth of Christ which involved a miracle, but this one happened on an unknown street in Nazareth some 2000 years ago.Key Scriptures:Luke 1:26-38, Mark 8:11-12, John 1: 29-34, Luke 7:22-23, Hebrews 11:1, Romans 10:17, Psalms 63

Americans are currently besotted with protein. It's touted as being good for muscle growth, weight loss, skincare, mental acuity, longevity, and much else besides. It's sold to men, women, children, the elderly— you can even buy protein for your pets. The protein supplement market alone is worth $21 billion and growing—and extra protein is being added to coffee, cereal, pasta, beer, ice cream, and popcorn.But as frenzied as we currently are about protein, this is not the first protein boom—or even the second. Protein has been promoted as a charismatic, cure-all nutrient for nearly two centuries. In this episode, with the help of Samantha King and Gavin Weedon, the authors of Protein: The Making of a Nutritional Superstar, we look closely at all our protein crazes and their associated protein products—from beef tea to whey powder—and see what they can tell us about our current protein mania. This episode was produced by Max Freedman. Decoder Ring is also produced by Willa Paskin, Katie Shepherd, and Evan Chung, our supervising producer. We had editing support from Josh Levin and fact-checking by Sophie Summergrad.

The protein supplement market alone is worth $21 billion and growing—and extra protein is being added to coffee, cereal, pasta, beer, ice cream, and popcorn.But as frenzied as we currently are about protein, this is not the first protein boom—or even the second. Protein has been promoted as a charismatic, cure-all nutrient for nearly two centuries. In this episode, with the help of Samantha King and Gavin Weedon, the authors of Protein: The Making of a Nutritional Superstar, we look closely at all our protein crazes and their associated protein products—from beef tea to whey powder—and see what they can tell us about our current protein mania. This episode was produced by Max Freedman. Decoder Ring is also produced by Willa Paskin, Katie Shepherd, and Evan Chung, our supervising producer. We had editing support from Josh Levin and fact-checking by Sophie Summergrad. Merritt Jacob is Senior Technical Director.If you have any cultural mysteries you want us to decode, email us at DecoderRing@slate.com  or leave a message on our hotline at (347) 460-7281.Get more of Decoder Ring with Slate Plus!
