🎯 Episode Thesis

Season 5 begins with a deep dive into Nostr, Bitcoin, AI, and the future of the experience economy.

Aleks, co-founder of Satlantis, explains why Bitcoin is the most important tool humanity has, why Nostr matters as an identity layer for the web (not a Twitter replacement), and how AI + Bitcoin + Nostr create a completely new design space for real-world experiences.

We explore why censorship resistance matters for money—not social content—why protocols evolve slower than businesses, what “as Nostr as possible” really means, and how events, mobility, and connection are becoming the core pillars of modern culture.
