All In Bitcoin

In this end-of-year recap, our guests: Adam Back, Peter Todd, John Carvalho, Jameson Lopp, Rockstar Dev, Martti Malmi, Trace Mayer, Alex B, Pierre Rochard, Jimmy Song, Jack Kruse, Mike Peterson, Nicolas Burtey, Willy Woo, Ben Perrin, Abubakar Nur Khalil, Jeff Booth, Derek Ross, and Max Kei challenge the narratives.

The internet is quietly splitting in two. A KYC, permissioned, censorable web on one side… and a small, unstoppable, permissionless one on the other. Derek Ross has deleted every legacy social account, staked his name and face on Nostr, and is betting his life on freedom tech, Bitcoin, and open protocols, even if his own family doesn’t fully get it. In this deeply personal conversation, Derek and I dig into what censorship actually feels like in the so-called “free world,” why YouTube and X suspensions are not a China-only story, and how Nostr lets you truly own your identity with private keys you can’t be deplatformed from. Derek explains why the “Nostr is too technical” myth needs to die, how circular Bitcoin economies and zaps are already working at scale, and why losing your keys would mean losing years of “proof-of-work” reputation. We talk about family who don’t believe in Bitcoin, political blow-ups at home, changing his mind 180° on COVID restrictions, and the real emotional cost of being visible instead of anonymous. Derek also shares how AI “vibe coding” turned him into a builder overnight, why he’s now doing dev-rel for Soapbox, and how he ended up literally marrying two friends who met on Nostr. 👉 Follow & subscribe to All in Bitcoin for more unfiltered conversations that go where others won’t. 🎧 Available on YouTube, Spotify, Apple, Nostr, and everywhere you listen: https://linktr.ee/allinbitcoin 👇FOLLOW DEREK'S WORK: Nostr: [email protected] https://www.grownostr.org 👇FOLLOW CK & ALL IN BITCOIN: Nostr: [email protected] X: @allinbitcoinpod TIME STAMPS: 0:00 Introduction 5:59 Letting go of the old world 10:11 The real cost of stepping forward 14:11 The resistance that surprises him 17:07 The problem simplicity can’t solve 19:39 A truth he rarely says aloud 21:50 The tool that still doesn’t exist 27:46 What ownership actually means 33:02 When censorship stops being theoretical 36:20 The shift happening faster than expected 38:27 Building without permission 41:05 When passion unexpectedly becomes a job 45:07 The fear that lingers beneath the work 47:22 The conflict closest to home 52:03 A belief he completely reversed 55:59 Pride and isolation at the same time 59:51 What would remain if he disappeared 1:01:22 A great story NOSTR made possible 1:04:00 On the feeling of being free 1:05:13 Where to find Derek DISCLAIMER:All views expressed by me or my guests are solely our own opinions.
