Daniel Satchkov’s Vision: A Decentralized Future Built on Real Value & Financial Independence
Daniel Satchkov, founder of Bastyon and developer of the cryptocurrency Pocketcoin, doesn’t just talk about the future of finance — he maps it out. In a recent interview, he broke down the deeper meaning behind Trump’s tariffs, the Fed’s hidden strategies, and the coming shift in the global financial system. Agree with him or not, his ideas are coherent, bold, and rooted in a deep belief in decentralization and self-reliance.
Tariffs and the Global Power Game
Satchkov views the recent tariffs not as protectionist economics, but as political tools. He suggests they’re being used to pressure China and shake up global trade patterns. In his view, these moves aren’t really about bringing jobs back to the U.S. — especially when factories are automated. Instead, tariffs serve a larger agenda: to fracture global dependencies and drive a reset of economic relationships. He frames this as part of a larger U.S. strategy to weaken rivals and strengthen its hand in an emerging new world order.
The Fed: Not Just a Central Bank
One of the most striking parts of Satchkov’s argument is how he characterizes the Federal Reserve. He doesn’t see it as a government institution, but as a power center of its own — a private cartel, loyal to long-term elite interests, not elected leaders. In this framework, even Trump has to negotiate with Fed Chair Jerome Powell, despite being the President.
This dynamic, Satchkov argues, reveals who really runs the show. The Fed can choose when to inject liquidity, when to let markets crash, and who gets rescued. Hedge funds and insiders? Yes. Small investors and altcoin holders? Not likely.
Trump: Wild Card or Pawn?
Satchkov paints Trump as an unpredictable player — ambitious, popular, and increasingly isolated. His suggestion of a third term, combined with his aggressive tariff policies, may have spooked the establishment. The backlash, according to Satchkov, could be part of a coordinated effort to undermine Trump’s support.
Even so, he believes Trump has a plan: a debt-reset scheme via international negotiations — something Satchkov calls the “Maraga Accords.” Whether this gets off the ground is uncertain. But Satchkov sees Trump’s vision as potentially revolutionary, even if imperfectly executed.
Crypto: The Engine of a New System
For Satchkov, the most important change isn’t about politics — it’s about money. He believes a new financial system is emerging, built around blockchain, tokenization, and cryptocurrencies. And despite market crashes and regulatory roadblocks, he’s confident that this shift is unstoppable.
He references BlackRock’s own statements — notably a letter by CEO Larry Fink — as proof that even institutional giants see crypto as part of the future. The key, according to Satchkov, is utility: real-world use cases that give a token purpose.
He separates the wheat from the chaff:
- Likely winners: Bitcoin, Ripple, Hedera, Solana — projects tied to infrastructure, not hype.
- Likely losers: Meme coins, “Trump tokens,” and anything built purely for speculation.
Pocketcoin and Bastyon: A Real-World Use Case
Unlike many crypto promoters, Satchkov isn’t just backing other projects. He built his own. Pocketcoin, the native token of the Bastyon platform, is designed for real-world trade — even for bartering real estate. He positions it as the anti-bank token: decentralized, independent, and practical.
Satchkov says Pocketcoin reflects crypto’s original promise: individual freedom, not financial roulette. In his eyes, it’s not just a bet on the future — it’s a working prototype of it.
What Should Investors Do?
Satchkov’s advice is simple but stern: forget hype, focus on fundamentals. He’s clear that the Federal Reserve isn’t coming to save anyone. The era of massive bailouts is over — and inflationary pressures from tariffs give the Fed an excuse to stand aside while markets crash.
For altcoin holders, he offers this checklist:
- Analyze: Understand what the token actually does.
- Reallocate: Ditch speculative assets for those with long-term utility.
- Be patient: Real growth won’t be instant — but it will come for the right assets.
He names Solana, Ripple, and Hedera as strong candidates. Bitcoin too — though timing its rise is difficult.
Prepare for a New Kind of Economy
Looking beyond markets, Satchkov envisions a world where local independence matters more than global connectivity. He urges people to secure basics: land, water, and energy. He predicts that in a fragmented future, these will matter more than ever.
In business, he sees big potential in:
- Repair services — for cars, electronics, and everyday goods.
- Local agriculture — food grown nearby, not shipped across oceans.
- Health and natural products — things people won’t skimp on, even in downturns.
He also sees barter making a comeback. Platforms like Bastyon could enable direct trade when traditional systems fail.
Final Thought: Crisis as a Filter
Daniel Satchkov doesn’t promise easy wins. He warns that most crypto projects will vanish and that the middle class is being squeezed on purpose — not by accident. But within this turbulence, he sees opportunity. For those who stay sharp, do the homework, and pick projects with real-world value, the new financial system could offer both freedom and security.
He’s not selling hype. He’s pushing clarity, purpose, and preparation. And in a world full of noise, that might be exactly what we need.
