Why you MUST listen?

While I wont ruin it for you, I believe its best you listen to the whole episode featuring a heavyweight in David Marcus (CEO Lightspark):
  • Why David chose Bitcoin and specifically LN
  • What he think of regulations (he is the go to person on that matter as he lead Diem at Facebook)
  • What he is shipping and why
  • Why this bear market can be longer & what is happening in the LN ecosystem

I feel like I'm going to regret listening to a verge podcast...
The "tech" press is so full of second handers. Followers. So few real thinkers.

David seems like he gets it. Good to hear. Maybe this will reach some of the tech knuckleheads. My favorite part was when he says Paypal bought Venmo 10 years ago and you still can't send money between the two. This is the kind of thing I tell my tech savy friends who only see bitcoin as a stock. Regardless of the current exchange rate bitcoin has real functional value. When you have a solid money you can build all kinds of valuable tools on top of it. So bullish on the future of bitcoin.

Well, I should have known. This dude and his company are bad news for bitcoin. Another guy who want to surveil Bitcoiners. If the Verge is gonna have him on I should have know he was gonna be a gov shill.

I'm mostly curious about what the "tech" press is saying these days about bitcoin and lightning. So much ignorance about bitcoin... still. Mind blowing honestly.
