By now you may be aware of bitcoin’s origin story that begins following the 2008 financial crisis. The essence of cryptocurrency continues to evolve with every new blockchain technology. It’s an innovative space being fueled with unprecedented energy. In the midst of so many innovations on blockchain, bitcoin continues to stand as a storehouse of value that no other cryptocoin has been able to compete with.

Muneeb Ali is a Pakistani computer scientist with a PhD in computer science from Princeton, co-founder and CEO of Trust Machines. He is co-founded the Stacks project, a unique programming software created to be smart contract layer that sits on top of bitcoin minus the tension. Muneeb is CEO of Hiro, a developer tooling company.

In this conversation Muneeb and Tom discuss the unique attributes that allow bitcoin to stand high above the rest and the likeliness of its usability in a practical marketplace. This is about a deeper understanding to what is incentivizing blockchain, why it’s drawing in so many people, and its implications to web 3.0
