Categorías:
Interview location: London
Interview date: Thursday 7th Feb, 2019
Company: Chaincode Labs
Role: CEO
What is Bitcoin? Is it digital gold? Is it money?
Whoever I put this question to, the answer always changes but one thing that is consistent is that it always retains to technology and value. Perhaps Bitcoin is therefore many things which come together to create a new type of financial infrastructure.
In this episode, I talk with Bitcoin Core developer, Matt Corallo. We discuss what makes Bitcoin work, covering topics such as the Lightning Network, fungibility and inflation. We also talk about issues important to Matt such as BetterHash and adoption.
