Today I speak to Kevin Rooke. He studies the Lightning network. We discuss how big the network already is, the new business models it will enable, how easy it will be for most people to earn sats and much more. A very enlightening episode indeed.

"[Paying the users is] a tool [these platforms] can use."
"On Stacker News, I'm not earning Stacker News points. On Fountain, I'm not earning Fountain points. On both, I'm earning sats."
"People will be able to earn for the value they provide to the platforms they use."
