In this episode of All in Bitcoin, CK sits down with Uncle Rockstar, the masked builder and freedom tech advocate, to talk about Bitcoin, privacy, Nostr, and the future of decentralized tech. They dive into Rockstar’s personal story, from his early days in software to his work with BTCPay Server, Strike, and Nostr. The conversation covers why privacy matters in the digital age, how Bitcoin empowers individuals, and how tools like Nostr are reshaping social media and communication. Rockstar shares hot takes, favorite books, lessons on burnout, and what drives him to build open-source tools that resist censorship and support freedom.
