Marty sits down with Adam Back (CEO of Blockstream) and Sean Bill (CIO at Blockstream) to discuss institutional Bitcoin adoption, the evolution from cypherpunk ideals to financial infrastructure, pension fund investment strategies, the emergence of Bitcoin-collateralized lending products, and the development of second-layer solutions like Lightning Network and Liquid that are building the foundation for a Bitcoin-native banking system.
