If Bitcoin has its pizza, Satoshi, and El Salvador, what does Solarpunk have?

Humans connect with stories, names, and real-world examples—not just ideas. Without these totems, Solarpunk risks staying merely a niche aesthetic. This talk explores what’s missing, how to bridge inspiration with impact, and how to craft stronger narratives to ground regeneration in the real world.


Bitcoin has Satoshi, pizza, and El Salvador. Ethereum has the DAO hack, Vitalik, and DeFi Summer. But what does Solarpunk have?

Humans connect with stories, names, and real-world examples—not just ideas. Without these totems, Solarpunk risks staying a niche aesthetic rather than a movement that drives real change.

This talk explores what’s missing, how to bridge inspiration with impact, and how projects can craft narratives that ground regeneration in the real world. Drawing from lessons in ReFi, Web3, and community-driven initiatives, it will outline practical ways to shape stories that help Solarpunk move beyond concept and into culture.
