Podcasts: TLS55: Udi Wertheimer on Bitcoin, The Lightning Network, Stablecoins, and More πŸ”— 2 years ago

The Kevin Rooke Show

Udi Wertheimer is a developer by trade, and one of the most thought-provoking and controversial figures on Bitcoin Twitter. We’ve had a few back-and-forths on Lightning adoption on Twitter, so I wanted to do a full episode.

In our talk, Udi explained his views on Bitcoin and the Lightning Network, the value of stablecoins, as well as the Metaverse, Web3, Web5, and tribalism in crypto.

Before every show, I ask listeners on Twitter to send in their best questions for future guests. I read off all the questions for the guest, and pick one listener to receive a split of the sats earned for the episode.

To ask a question, send a message, or to support the show, download Fountain from the App Store and load your wallet with a few sats.
