Open Markets Podcasts, explores and sheds light on the commerce development on Nostr and the Bitcoin Space.
We’re at the beginning of a shift away from platforms that control commerce… toward protocols that anyone can build on and participate in.
Each week, we share conversations and stories from the people already doing it: the builders, merchants, and users pioneering this new model.
