“What gives me hope is that we have some degree of control of our future. That we can build things rather than just ask for things to change around us.” On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks with Lyn Alden. They discuss open-source freedom technologies like Bitcoin, Nostr, the Lightning Network, Ecash, fedimint, and Fedi, explore the idea of a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve, why corporations should put Bitcoin on their balance sheet, what the Federal Reserve will do next, and reasons to be hopeful about the future.
