FROM BITCOIN TO PERMISSIONLESS EVERYTHING with Martti Malmi

In this episode of All in Bitcoin, CK sits down with Martti Malmi, the second-ever Bitcoin developer, Nostr pioneer, and the quiet builder who ran early nodes, managed bitcoin.org, helped shape the project… and then walked away.

In this rare interview, Martti bridges Bitcoin and Nostr through the eyes of someone who helped start it all but never chased the spotlight. Martti opens up about growing up in Finland, childhood games, metal music, and the libertarian values that shaped his views on freedom, money, and tech.

He reflects on building with Satoshi, shares his take on decentralization, censorship, and how Nostr could fix the internet, from decentralized social media to hosting without servers, spam resistance through social graphs, and the future of Lightning and open-source funding. We also dive into libertarianism, privacy, the dangers of KYC, the difference between rules and rulers, Europe’s regulatory direction, and how a decentralized future is being built from the ground up.

Whether you're here for Bitcoin, Nostr, or just one of the most authentic voices in freedom tech, this episode keeps echoing long after the mic drops.
