Daniel Satchkov, Inventor of Bastyon | Bitcoin, Decentralized Social Media & Surviving Internet Censorship and Cyber Warfare | Bitcoin.com Interviews

Daniel Satchkov, inventor of Bastyon, joins Dustin Plantholt on Bitcoin.com Interviews to discuss how Bitcoin’s censorship-resistant architecture inspired the creation of a Web3 social platform designed to survive internet outages, cyber warfare, and global censorship threats.

Bastyon is a decentralized social platform that blends the best of YouTube, Twitter, and Torrent, built entirely on open-source blockchain infrastructure with no central servers or corporate ownership. Like Bitcoin, Bastyon’s content moderation and reward systems are governed by its users through transparent rules and a distributed network of nodes. The platform’s ecosystem runs on Pocketcoin (PKOIN), rewarding content creators and node operators for their contributions.

Daniel explains how Bastyon’s peer-to-peer design ensures survivability during crises, empowering users to maintain free communication even in the face of network shutdowns or government control — embodying Bitcoin’s legacy of resilience and independence.

💡 In this episode:
• How Bitcoin’s decentralization model shapes Bastyon’s social architecture
• Why Web3 networks can survive censorship and cyber attacks
• Daniel Satchkov’s insights on privacy, resilience, and open-source governance
• The role of Pocketcoin (PKOIN) in rewarding creators and maintaining stability
• How decentralized social media protects free speech during global crises

🎧 A powerful discussion on Bitcoin’s impact on decentralized communication, network sovereignty, and how Bastyon is building a censorship-proof, self-sustaining social ecosystem for the Web3 era.
