Watch our latest podcast appearance on the Free Cities Podcast: Episode 188 - Mesh Networks, Web 5, and the Plan to Build a Parallel Society on Bitcoin with Polycarp Nakamoto

They move from the question of anonymity, through the architecture of a second internet (mesh networks, Bitcoin nodes, Nostr, e-cash), to the harder problem sitting underneath all of it: people. Along the way: why Poly thinks the internet has roughly five years left, what a private AI living inside a shipping-container home looks like, why he frames the whole thing as a fork between a CBDC dystopia and a sovereign solarpunk future, and a genuine back-and-forth about whether any of this survives contact with the human condition. Timothy is an old Bitcoiner who runs his own node and lives on a remote farm, so in many ways Poly is preaching to the choir. But this is not an infomercial for the sovereign life, and the scepticism is real.
