How Mempool Space Is Quietly Powering Bitcoin’s Global Growth | Wiz
Manage episode 475334029 series 3418916
Live from Bitcoin Beach in El Zonte, El Salvador, I sat down with Wiz, the co-founder of Mempool, one of the most important tools in the Bitcoin space. We covered a ton of ground in this one, from how he got into tech as a kid to what the Bitcoin mempool actually is and why it matters.
Wiz breaks down how Mempool space helps people understand Bitcoin transaction fees, track confirmations, and now even accelerate stuck transactions through their new feature, Mempool Accelerator. Super useful stuff, especially if you've ever been confused about fees or had a transaction get stuck.
We also dive into why he’s seriously considering moving his company from Japan to El Salvador. It’s about being part of a real movement, joining a growing Bitcoin community, and contributing to the transformation that’s happening here on the ground.
Whether you’re deep into Bitcoin tech or just curious about what’s going on in El Salvador, this episode has something for you.
