Aleksandar Svetski joins us for the second time to discuss his upcoming book, The Bushido of Bitcoin, in which he presents Bitcoin as a framework for excellence as related to the samurai virtues of bushido! He also tells us all about Satlantis, his upcoming new Nostr super-app. Recorded in person at BTC Prague.

Highlights:
🔹Bitcoin is a framework for excellence - you either excel or fail, there is no middle ground
🔹Responsibility is more important than freedom
🔹The Bushido of Bitcoin is available to preorder on Geyser and Kickstarter
🔹Satlantis is a new Nostr app initially focused on travel, but expanding to replace much of legacy web and social media on Nostr
🔹AI is a scam
🔹Nostr will be adopted much faster than Bitcoin
