Your Bitcoin won’t “move” like you think. Bitcoin activity is shifting from simple transfers to protocol-level movement—here’s how Subfrost frames it. • A huge chunk of BTC exposure isn’t moving as “BTC” • ETFs, perps, and leveraged products change the game • Subfrost locks BTC and routes it as sats • So the contracts see a lighter-weight Bitcoin version (FRBTC-style) Would you rather track on-chain transfers or protocol usage?

Nikola Borisov, Co-founder & CEO, DeepInfra
Host of Pale Blue Nexus. Co-founder, Aloomii.
Yohann Calpu has been making podcasts for nine years, across five shows. The operating principle is genuine curiosity. He sent Jim Rogers his first cold email seventeen years before they recorded together. That is how Pale Blue Nexus is built.
He is a father of two. Off the mic, he mountain bikes, hikes, gardens, and adds to a growing collection of Magic: The Gathering cards, comics, and video games. He hosts from Caledonia, Ontario, in the Grand River corridor.
The show explores AI, space, physics, and the technologies reshaping our species, through long-form conversations with the founders, investors, and operators actually doing the work. The frame is Carl Sagan's. Everything we cover happens here, on the pale blue dot, while everything around us changes.
Yohann is also the co-founder of Aloomii, an AI operations company building agent fleets for relationship-driven businesses.
