Staci Costopoulos

Staci Costopoulos is the host of The Bitcoin Nova, a podcast exploring Bitcoin, sovereignty, and the stories of everyday Bitcoiners. She is a leader in the Bitcoin Army community and Head of Community at Conduit, where she helps merchants and communities put Bitcoin, Lightning, and Nostr into practice through open commerce.

As a longtime salon owner and small business operator, Staci brings a practical perspective to adoption: what helps people get started, what creates friction, and what makes them come back. Her work includes merchant onboarding, community building, and helping organize event marketplaces where attendees can buy directly from sellers with bitcoin.

She is passionate about independent media, meaningful human connection, and making Bitcoin approachable for people beyond the existing Bitcoin community.
