Episode notes

I think Bitcoin is a bit of a clown show. A lot of Bitcoiners are clowns. We tried to like make a Bitcoin, a nation state currency in El Salvador with lightning. And from all things that I've heard about sort of the lightning progress in El Salvador, it's not a huge success. So we need to be more humble with the actual state of some of these tools. The problem with Bitcoin culture is that they just take themselves way too seriously. This is a way to sort of prove that we don't take ourselves seriously.

Taproot was the trojan horse that opened the door to a new wave of Bitcoin innovation and culture. At the forefront of this culture are Udi, Eric, and Nic, the taproot wizards causing a shift in the world of Bitcoin.
