Grab your sats and a side of street tacos this episode of the Space Tomatoes Podcast is pure decentralized chaos in the best way! Hosts Havok and LX welcome the delightfully pixelated Duncan Cary Palmer (Bitcoin OG, Nostr daily driver, inventor, writer, and proud thorn in the side of certain agencies). Duncan spills the beans on his “checkered past,” why he rocks the wizard look on Nostr, and how Bitcoin + Nostr are the ultimate middle finger to the powers that shouldn’t be. Expect zero BS talk on self-custody (“not your keys, not your coins”), peer-to-peer freedom, Mt. Gox lessons learned the hard way, mesh networks, Reticulum, Bitcoin meetups, and why using sats as actual money beats HODLing forever. Plus: colloidal silver machines that actually work, spontaneity vs. planning (surfing wins), epic taco rants, and a heartfelt shoutout to the real King. Whether you’re Nostr curious or just here for the wizard vibes and taco wisdom, this one’s a riot. Hit play, stack some sats, and join the rebellion!
