"it's literal magic… We're doing magic with magic internet money using free and open protocols that a bunch of weirdo and cypherpunk hackers built because they cared about financial privacy. They cared about being able to do peer-to-peer stuff. It exists, and it's here." On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks with NiftyNei (aka Lisa). Lisa is a a developer, Bitcoin and lightning protocol expert, and educator through her Base58 Bitcoin engineering school. She also hosts developer conferences around the world called BTC++.
