Nico (@bitvolt7) is the host and founder of Simply Bitcoin. His defining condition is terminal bullishness: he is so certain Bitcoin will defeat fiat currency that his principal anxiety is technological unemployment — his own.

Arc history

Nico’s canon opens in January 2023 on a Bloomberg interview: “As I grow more bullish on Bitcoin, I’m not sure how much longer I can do this show. Like what am I going to do with my life once fiat is defeated. Nobody ever did a daily show talking about the dollar because that’s boring.” When the host suggested Bitcoin might remain a mere store of value — citing Michael Saylor’s “digital gold” framing — Nico’s eyes could almost be seen turning into lasers as he replied: “It’s either Bitcoin or slavery and humanity will choose Bitcoin” (Simply Bitcoin Discusses Future Rebrand).
