Episode Details

Wyatt Meldman-Floch joins Hard Truths The conversation explores:

• The search for alien life. Are we looking the right way?
• How centralized infrastructure quietly enables market manipulation and information asymmetry
• Breakaway civilizations and how transparency-first networks shift that power balance
• How Reality’s global DEX removes control points used to suppress technology and steer markets

Wyatt breaks down RealityNet with Ashton Forbes as a new truth layer for the internet, inspired by Bitcoin’s core insight: remove trusted intermediaries and let cryptography decide. Apps on Reality run on decentralized compute across home computers and laptops, with devices operating peer-to-peer to keep the network alive. Consensus emerges from the geometry of the network, drawing on principles from physics and sacred geometry to organize information and time without centralized control. The result is a new layer of the decentralized internet. One where corporations stop renting us trust, and participant-owned community networks take their place. Reality also introduces a global decentralized exchange, enabling atomic swaps between any digital currencies. Because its consensus can directly observe other blockchains, markets can coordinate without wrappers, custodians, or hidden intermediaries. At its core, Reality returns crypto to its cypherpunk roots, where truth emerges from code, participation, and shared ownership rather than authority. Anyone can participate today by mining $NET on testnet with the Reality Portal app on Windows, Mac, or Linux. Download it, run a node and help build this revolutionary network.
