Show Notes
<p>Aleks Svetski and I explore the vision behind <strong>Satlantis</strong>, a location-centric travel platform that merges elements of TripAdvisor, Instagram, and Google Maps. Built on Nostr, Satlantis uses your social graph to deliver trusted reviews, quality-of-life scores, and cost-of-living insights for cities around the world. We discuss the platform’s early users, its seed funding strategy, its path to monetization, and why building with open protocols like Bitcoin and Nostr is the only way to “dent the universe.”</p>
<p>Aleks Svetski is an entrepreneur, author and Bitcoin advocate.</p>
