#669: Building the Events App That Bitcoin Deserves with Aleks Svetski
Marty sits down with Svetski to discuss AI as a productivity tool rather than AGI, the unsustainable economics of large language models, Nostr's evolution beyond social media toward portable identity and new market opportunities, SatLantis's pivot to become a Bitcoin-native events platform, solving the cold start problem, digital burnout and the shift toward meatspace connection, and why building second-generation Bitcoin companies means creating new markets rather than replicating existing ones.

#667: The Silent Coup with Maryland Hodl
Marty sits down with Maryland HODL to discuss systemic vibrations signaling monetary transition, how bitbonds and stablecoins could facilitate a shift from an inflationary to deflationary system, the strategic realignment happening within the Treasury and Fed, and why Bitcoin's role as pristine collateral represents the only viable path to navigate the fourth turning without catastrophic conflict.
