Join host Stephen Sargeant as he dives deep into the world of Bitcoin with Matt Mudano, co-founder and CEO of Arch Network. Discover Matt's early adventures with Bitcoin in 2012, and how Arch Network is revolutionizing Bitcoin by building advanced applications directly on its blockchain. This episode covers the evolution of the Bitcoin ecosystem, the impact of recent upgrades like taproot and ordinals, the importance of layer twos (L2s), and the future potential of Bitcoin DeFi. Learn about the challenges and opportunities of developing on Bitcoin, maintaining security while enabling programmability, and the role of institutional investors. Tune in for one of Stephen's favorite episodes and gain insights into why Arch Network is set on building entirely on Bitcoin rather than utilizing bridges.
