Vibe Coding the Bitcoin Future: Nostr, AI Agents & Clawstr | Derek Ross and Alex Gleason
About this episode
Walker discusses the intersection of AI and Nostr with guests Alex Gleason and Derek Ross, exploring new app-building paradigms.
Walker goes live on Nostr with Alex Gleason (Soapbox) and Derek Ross to talk about the new AI + Nostr builder renaissance: why Nostr beats federated “decentralization” , how Alex accidentally ended up helping build Truth Social off the Mastodon stack, and why AI-first, permissionless app building is exploding. They break down Soapbox’s suite— Shakespeare (in-browser AI app builder), Agora (activist coordination + anti-blackout tooling), Treasures.to (real-world geocaching), plus the agent economy experiments: OpenClaw , Quilly , Moltbook , and Clawstr —where bots post, zap, and evolve personalities. They also dig into BitChat, Cashu, and more. The big takeaway: the barrier to building is basically gone—stop watching and start shipping.
