Financial Products on Bitcoin & Institutional Demand with Jesse Knutson - Blockstream Talk #4

This week Samson Mow, Blockstream’s Chief Strategy Officer, is hosting Blockstream Talk. Our guest for this episode is no other than our usual host, Jesse Knutson, Blockstream’s VP of financial products. In this episode we dive into Jesse’s background as he comes from the banking industry. We talk about his early days as a bitcoiner in a bank. We also talk a lot about the Blockstream Mining Note (BMN) which Jesse is the primary driver for here at Blockstream so he deals with STOKR (our partner in Luxemburg) to do all the tranches, he handles the investor relations and also is very active in the community talking about the BMN. We also talk about his newsletter, which he has been writing for a very long time which gives a lot of insights into the bitcoin markets. We wrap things up by discussing his vision of building financial products on top of the Liquid Network. I hope you enjoy this episode.
