Embracing Rebellion Advocating Freedom
Welcome to Ungovernable Misfits, where rebellion meets purpose. We’re here to ignite a revolution in how you think about privacy, freedom, and control. Through Bitcoin, open-source software, and a relentless dedication to self-reliance, we explore practical ways to reclaim what’s rightfully yours.
Because freedom isn’t handed out—it’s taken, defended, and lived.
We’re more than just a platform; we’re a movement. A rallying cry for those who refuse to conform and who dare to imagine a world where autonomy, privacy, and self-sufficiency reign supreme. Through our podcasts, we dive deep into topics like Bitcoin, privacy, open-source technology, and the power of self-sustaining communities. Our shows are a meeting place for those ready to challenge the status quo and connect with like-minded individuals determined to forge their own paths.
But our rebellion doesn’t stop with conversations; it’s a way of life. Our commitment to authenticity is reflected in everything we do, from the ideas we share to the products we create. Every piece of clothing we design and meticulously screen-print is a testament to defiance and self-expression. These aren’t just garments—they’re symbols of independence and courage, worn by those who refuse to blend in.

Rebirth
After Max and Mr. Crown connected through 21ISM, it was clear from the start that there was an instant click. We shared a similar passion for creativity, freedom, and pushing boundaries, which sparked endless brainstorming sessions filled with wild, ambitious ideas. Some of these ideas were so audacious they seemed almost out of reach—yet, with determination and synergy, many of them have not only been achieved but far surpassed our expectations.
Mr. Crown has been nothing short of phenomenal in bringing this vision to life. From crafting a sleek and dynamic website to building a cohesive brand identity and designing podcast thumbnails that perfectly capture the energy of the show, his work has elevated the podcast to a whole new level.
Max’s podcast was already a genius piece of work and, with each episode, he was steadily on his way to making it a recognized and established name in the community. It needed the right visual and creative support to truly shine, and that’s exactly where Mr. Crown stepped in. Together, we’ve built more than just a project—we’ve created something that reflects our shared vision and values, and we’re proud to see how far it’s come.
Meshtadel
Soulex's legendary Meshtadel article dropped in Citadel21 on May 21 and immediately sent ripples through the Bitcoin community. What started as a unique concept quickly evolved into something far greater—a term that resonated so deeply it became part of the cultural fabric. Meshtadel has since grown into a thriving, tight-knit community of like-minded individuals, each contributing their unique skills, knowledge, and perspectives.
What makes this movement so special is the mutual respect among its members. While many share similar visions of sovereignty, privacy, and freedom, disagreements are not just tolerated but welcomed—fostering growth, understanding, and innovation. This balance between shared values and the ability to embrace different perspectives is what truly sets the Meshtadel apart.
The turning point for the Meshtadel wasn’t just the article itself, but how it inspired the next level of engagement. The effort from various members of the Meshtadel made a breathing movement.
The Meshtadel represents more than a word or a podcast; it’s a call to action for those who dare to dream of a better, freer, and more collaborative future—where autonomy thrives, and individuality is celebrated.
Jon entering the scene
Here's a quick recap of how Max and jon connected. It all started one night when Jon was working overtime, listening to a Meshtadel space hosted by SoulEx. The discussion covered topics I was passionate about, like sourcing your own energy and mining Bitcoin. Since my signal was weak, I tweeted about potentially discussing using black diesel and biodiesel for mining, along with a few thoughts on regenerative agriculture.
Max saw Jon's tweet and DM’d him, suggesting to do a podcast together. About a month later, they recorded the first episode. Jon joined the Meshtadel and started getting to know the community. Max then asked Jon to contribute to Bitesize Bitcoins, which he gladly did. When Jon's Pleb Miner Panel idea didn’t quite work out, Max suggested to shift the focus to BitBuyBit, and that’s how things really started to take off!
Pleb Miner Month
Jon first connected with Max through the Meshtadel group and was already deep into discovering the world of bitcoin mining. After facing some setbacks, such as panel discussions at conferences not quite going as planned, the idea was born to focus more on bitcoin mining through the platform Max had already established. This is how the Pleb Miner Month came to life.
The Pleb Miner Month was an ambitious project: a month-long series of daily bitcoin mining content. From podcast episodes and in-depth articles to giveaways of miners and mining gear, it was all about engaging the community and making the topic of bitcoin mining more accessible. During this month, we also realized how willing the community was to support one another. Items were offered from different places around the world for giveaways—books, miners, goodies… all for the cause of making home bitcoin mining interesting and open for discussion.
It was the collective energy and effort from the community, led by Jon, Sarah, Max, and Mr. Crown, during Pleb Miner Month that showcased the strength of the platform and strengthened the bond among the Pleb Miners. Everyone was ready to contribute, offering their knowledge, tools, and support, creating a space where people could explore, learn, and take part in the growing bitcoin mining movement. Read the full recap of the Pleb Miner Month.
Pleb Miner Monthly
Thanks to the incredible success of #PlebMinerMonth, Jon and Max decided to keep the momentum going with a brand-new monthly podcast: Pleb Miner Monthly! The enthusiasm and engagement from the community made it clear that there’s a real demand for ongoing content, so they’re bringing you the latest updates, technical tips, and inspiring interviews with miners from around the world.
Each month, Pleb Miner Monthly will cover everything from hardware trends to energy efficiency, plus stories from the Pleb Miner community. With listener feedback, this podcast is all about collaboration and celebrating the spirit of mining.

Starting Monero Monthly
Since the Samourai Wallet team has been taken down, a significant gap has formed, especially when it comes to privacy in the Bitcoin space. Privacy has always been a top priority for many of us, but we all know how public Bitcoin transactions can be. Just because everything seems fine now doesn't mean it will always be that way. Governments are already gearing up to introduce measures that could affect you, especially if you've ever made a certain transaction. We're seeing a growing push for KYC off-ramps, which only adds to the need for privacy.
So, where does that leave us? Could Monero step in as a tool to protect our privacy? In the new show Monero Monthly, with our newest crew member Set, we’ll be exploring exactly that.
