## Resource

In this episode, I’m joined by Paul, Head of Growth at Primal, an “anti-social media” platform built on the same principles as Bitcoin.We unpack why modern social media has become a doom-scroll addiction machine, how algorithms quietly erode critical thinking, and why asking permission online may become one of the biggest risks of the next decade.Paul explains how Primal is rebuilding social media from first principles with no central algorithm, no owned identity, no platform control... just unstoppable speech, user sovereignty, and aligned incentives.We also dive into Gen Z, Bitcoin adoption, freedom of information, and why touching Bitcoin, not studying it for 100 hours, might be the real onboarding breakthrough.
