Show Notes

"Bitcoin (BTC, the currency) in its current form can scale – enough to process every txn in the world! It just needs the right combination of layer2s." - Paul Sztorc What would it look like if we could use sidechains today to scale Bitcoin to the worldwide payments capacity? Paul Sztorc, proponent and developer for Drivechains & BIP300 to bring this model to the Bitcoin ecosystem, lays out his vision for a future with the Thunder Network; sidechains with heavier data throughput to bridge to act as huge transaction aggregators that enables the quick deployment of any desired feature, an open landscape for design & privacy technology, & will allow Bitcoin to scale to every user in the world, and beyond.
