Show Notes
Rob Hamilton, CEO of AnchorWatch and mini-script fan boy, joins The Gwart Show to break down the nuances behind Bitcoin script, why we should’t be scared of a soft fork for rollups (if we need one!) and what a world with more Bitcoin functionality looks like. Rob and Gwart embark on discussions of L2 tokens, Bitcoin consensus rules and the value of VCs in Bitcoin.
