BITCOIN OR SLAVERY | Nico Moran from Simply Bitcoin
"I still think that there's enormous upside left. I truly believe we're going to hit 10, 20 million dollars per coin… I'm going to be buying Bitcoin at ten million dollars per coin because where else are you going to park your wealth?"
In this episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker America sits down with Nico from Simply Bitcoin to talk about the real choice humanity faces: Bitcoin or Slavery. From censorship-resistant social media and YouTube bans to Bitcoin Zen and the coming war between freedom money and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), this conversation dives deep into the future of money, state control, and personal sovereignty.
Nico shares how he built Simply Bitcoin from scratch, what it takes to survive as a creator in a censored world, and why the “stablecoin year” is just the calm before Bitcoin’s next storm.

"Bitcoin is not a f***ing iPhone. It's not going to just follow the same adoption curve that every other technology before it. Bitcoin is a techno-socioeconomic phenomenon… the downside of me being wrong about an iPhone is a thousand dollars. The downside of me being wrong about Bitcoin is my entire wealth."
In this conversation, Walker and Aleks Svetski discuss the profound changes in their lives, particularly with Svetski becoming a father. They explore the shifting political landscape, the role of the state, and the nature of violence in society. The discussion then transitions to the current state of Nostr, a decentralized social protocol, and the challenges it faces in gaining traction compared to other platforms. They conclude by examining the differences between social media and social networks, emphasizing the need for a compelling reason for users to migrate to new platforms. In this conversation, Svetski discusses the evolution of his project, Satlantis, focusing on its transformation into a Bitcoin-native events app. He emphasizes the importance of user engagement, the integration of social graphs for enhanced discoverability, and the need for innovative tools that leverage the Nostr protocol. The discussion also covers monetization strategies, targeting Bitcoin communities, and the potential for crowdfunding to support future developments.
