  <description>This episode of the #citizenweb3 podcast features Nika from Absolute Guard
Nika is a forward-thinking blockchain enthusiast, driven by a mission to improve communities and embrace the dynamic nature of the space. She views Bitcoin as a "museum piece" and believes the real magic lies in fostering ethical behavior and innovation in the evolving cyberpunk world of blockchain.
At Absolute Guard, we are committed to enhancing the Solana ecosystem by providing reliable validation services that support decentralization and growth. Our experienced team ensures high uptime and performance by continuously monitoring and upgrading our infrastructure.
We spoke to Nika (https://x.com/0xsucxub)  about Absolute Guard (https://github.com/a-guard) and:
Validators and their behaviour
More volatile, more dynamic
My side quest
Make a world better make community better
New fashionable way to trade
Bitcoin is just like a narrative it's just like museum piece 
Very aggressively billing
The problem is people
Bitcoin is heavy centralized
Toxic words
Being a good person in blockchain
It's just something like magic
Cyberpunk
Timestamps
