Bitcoin isn't enough... we need to DISRUPT social networks | Aleksandar Svetski

Aleks Svetski, author of The Bushido of Bitcoin and entrepreneur behind new ventures like Atlantis, returns to explore why capital alone isn’t enough — and why character, virtue, and community must stand alongside money to build a meaningful future. From Bitcoin’s role as a foundation of sound capital to the need for beauty, excellence, and integrity, Aleks unpacks how civilization risks turning into a strip mall when we optimize only for profit. In this conversation, we dive into the balance of capital and character, the rise of borderless living, and the evolution from social networks into engagement farms. Aleks explains why algorithms and cheap capital erode society, and how projects like Atlantis aim to rebuild authentic community in the real world. We also discuss the future of decentralized identity with Noster, the bifurcation of society into creators and consumers, and why this era could mark the most transformative shift in human civilization in centuries.
