Thanks for sharing. I listened to my first Kevin Rooke podcast this morning... the one with Rochard from Kraken. Interesting person to interview (and I'm sure this one will be too), but was a bit disappointed by the questions posed by Kevin: rather than asking open-ended questions, Kevin steers Rochard in the direction he thinks Rochard should answer. So basically, a missed opportunity at really getting interesting insights from Rochard. It's not easy to ask good questions, certainly wouldn't be able to do it myself... but I hope I'll have a better experience listening to his other podcasts.

Simon is the co-founder of the Mempool Open Source project, an explorer for monitoring Bitcoin transactions, mempool congestion, network fees, and more.

In our conversation, we discussed the value of building Mempool as an open-source, self-hosted project, the Liquid Network’s role as a side chain on Bitcoin, peer-to-peer exchanges like Bisq, and the debate around Bitcoin’s transaction fee sustainability.
