Got to sit down with Poly in Austin. In person, helmet on, as ever.
You know the pitch: a second internet on Bitcoin nodes, mesh, Nostr relays, e-cash, the whole Web 5 stack, owned by nobody and impossible to switch off. We got into all of it. Bitcoin nodes in food trucks, shipping-container homes with a private AI inside, what actually happens when the internet goes down, and why he reckons the old one has five years left.
The message, as ever: remove the centralisation from your own heart first, and have the self-sovereign stack in hand before you need it.
One of my favourite conversations this year.
