The Bitcoin Infinity Show
Bitcoin Adoption and Exponential Price Growth
A discussion on the widespread nature of Bitcoin adoption, the potential for exponential price growth, and the impact of decreasing liquidity on exchanges. The chapter also mentions sponsors of the show, including Zellox and BitcoinBook.
Joining us is none other than Dr. Adam Back: co-founder and CEO of Blockstream, the mind behind HashCash and a true OG bitcoiner.
In today’s, in person, interview, recorded at Baltic Honeybadger 2023, shoutout HodlHodl, we dive into plenty of important topics. We discuss Blockstream’s current projects, we explore the developments of Bitcoin’s second layer solutions and we debate their use cases after hyperbitcoinization. We even touch on the Drivechain debate.
