Do you relate more as a tech, dev, businessman, both? What do you feel is mostly your identity now?
1:45
Well, I do what I need to do.
1:47
That's interesting.
1:48
That's kind of what I'm trying to do in the space.
1:52
So when I entered the space, it was actually with the emergence of the Lightning Network.
1:57
So 2017, early 2018, that's when I decided to quit my Fiat job and go full time on Bitcoin, working for Bitcoin.
2:08
And my goal was to help Bitcoin evolve from a store of value, digital gold.

Do you remember that exact moment when you decided I'm going to stick with that? My new mission is that.
8:05
Yeah.
8:05
Uh, we're-- everyone's talking about like the bringing stables to Lightning and, and, and, and once the stables are on Lightning, we'll have a different user experience and everyone will be happy.
8:17
Uh, I think, uh, I think it's a, a bit of a overhype because no one-- maybe the stablecoin issuer needs stables on Lightning, but other people don't really need stables on Lightning because they have stables.
8:31
Stables are readily available in, uh, in, in, in dozens of networks out there.
8:37
So the approach that we kind of decided to take is to, uh, uh, swap.
8:42
Uh, every-- if you are holding a Bitcoin balance and you want to, uh, uh, make a stablecoin payment, we automatically swap, uh, on the client and then send the asset to the destination network.
8:56
So for example, you want to send, uh, USDT or USDC on Solana, let's say.
11:43
but they will just have to spend a lot more time and energy and money on security?
