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. 🎙️ About the Episode What does it mean to build on Bitcoin, Nostr, and AI in a world that’s more connected—and more disconnected—than ever? ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – Welcome to Season 5 + long-time-preference intro 02:42 – Why BitCorner is different + educational focus 05:28 – What to expect this season (Bitcoin, Nostr, AI, Atlantis) 08:10 – Introducing Aleks & Satlantis 15:12 – What is Nostr?
