The Bitcoin Game #60: Dr. Adam Back Part 2 - Liquid

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Welcome to episode 60 of‚The Bitcoin Game, I'm Rob Mitchell. I'm happy to bring to you part two of my interview with Cypherpunk and CEO of Blockstream, Dr. Adam Back. In this episode, we take a deep dive into Liquid, Blockstream's new federated sidechain. There's a lot more to Liquid than I realized, and it's fascinating to hear tons of details about the protocol. I lead us astray with some of my questions, but Dr. Back never fails to drop tons of crypto-knowledge.

And if you missed the first part of my interview, give episode 59 a listen to hear a great Cypherpunk history lesson.

  1. We searched the internet for the BEST CRYPTO WALLET and found this product. It allows you to transfer, receive and store any of your digital assets. It's very secure, easy to use and even has a freaking led light attached to it.
