Supporting Open Source Bitcoin Development and Sustainable Funding

I had the pleasure of presenting at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology during their annual Bitcoin Expo on April 6th 2025. Thought you all may find it interesting. Video link below if you want to reference my slides. It is a 15 minute presentation with 15 minutes of Q&A.
