Diving into a great piece by Conner Brown exploring the subjectivity of value, and why Bitcoin’s lack of “intrinsic value” is a benefit, not a hinderance. Does this aspect of Bitcoin, and the nature of money align with history? Does it challenge great economic thinkers & their theories? Or is it a natural next step in the growing possibilities of the digital world?  Don’t miss a fun episode starting off another week on Bitcoin economics!

Today, in preparation of & to understand the significance of the vast array of new features and developments coming to lightning, we cover a full overview of the What, Why, & How of the Lightning Network.

What exactly is it, why do we need it, and how exactly does it work? A huge thank you to Aaron Van Wirdum, Pierre Rochard, and Rusty Russell for making this understandable for me, we dive into a high level approach to understanding what’s happening in lightning.  In addition, despite forgetting to mention them in the podcast, a shout out to Christian Decker, Andreas Antonopoulos & Bryan Vu who have also produced great great content that helped in my understanding of lightning as well.
