Where Does Bitcoin’s Price Come From? | Ep. 24 — Sat Chats Short Stacks
Description
Sat Chats Short Stacks deliver bite-sized Bitcoin wisdom in under 10 minutes, just like a new block gets mined. Quick, clear, and stackable insights with zero fluff.
In this episode, we break down one of the biggest breakthroughs in Bitcoin infrastructure: the UTX Oracle by Simple Steve.
We explain why the old way of getting Bitcoin’s prices and how they created a hidden point of failure, and how UTX Oracle flips the script. With this tool, Bitcoin tells you its own price, peer-to-peer, straight from the blockchain—no middlemen, no trust needed. It's the most honest, decentralized exchange rate ever created.
We cover:
✅ Why exchange-based Bitcoin prices were a point of failure
✅ How the UTX Oracle uses real on-chain transactions to find true price
✅ Why Simple Steve’s solution is a massive step for Bitcoin self-sovereignty
✅ How you can verify Bitcoin’s price yourself (without an exchange)
✅ What the scatter plot of Bitcoin transactions actually shows
