TD₿: The Future of Bitcoin Scaling - (a video from the Stephan Livera podcast) with Tuur Demeester

Hey Bitcoiner’s,
Tuur Demeester joins the Stephan Livera podcast to discuss the current state and future outlook of Bitcoin uses and scaling solutions, from Lightning and Liquid to some of the more recent layers and sidechains in development.
Tuur speaks to Greg Maxwell’s Bitcoin blockchain as a court system analogy where he likens the Bitcoin blockchain to the Supreme Court. It’s the fairest but also the most expensive court to settle a dispute. He sees Layer 2 technologies like Lightning and Liquid acting as lower-level courts in a polycentric law system.

Enjoy!
