Soap Miner: The Man Making Bars for Sats
About this episode
In this episode, Brandon Karpeles sits down with the legendary pseudonymous soapmaker known as **Soap Miner**, who has built a thriving Bitcoin-only soap business selling pure tallow products online—exclusively to Bitcoiners.
Soap Miner shares how a deep distrust in mainstream products, medical narratives, and fiat money led him to Bitcoin—and eventually, to starting a business that aligns with his values. What began as a hobby quickly evolved into a full-time operation powered by a grassroots customer base on Nostr and beyond.We discuss:- Why he only accepts Bitcoin, and why he never will go back- How he sources high-quality, grass-fed tallow for his products- The shocking toxins in most commercial soaps- How Bitcoin enabled his financial freedom in semi-retirement- The power of Nostr and word-of-mouth among Bitcoiners- Why he believes Bitcoin commerce is key to its successSoap Miner’s story is proof that you don’t need to be a tech expert or live in a startup hub to thrive on a Bitcoin standard—you just need conviction, craft, and community.
