Description

Marty sits down with Nick Slaney, founder of MoneyDevKit and former Block engineer behind BitKey and C=, to discuss how self-custody Bitcoin payments are solving the global access problem that Stripe and stablecoins can't, and why the vibe coding explosion makes this the perfect moment for Lightning to finally go mainstream.
