A Conversation with Jesse Shrader
Catching up on another episode with Jesse Shrader – environmental engineer turned Bitcoin infrastructure builder – as he unpacks how building sewer systems unexpectedly prepared him to build financial pipes for the future of money. From wastewater treatment to decentralized liquidity markets, Jesse shares how open-source technology, renewable mining, and the Lightning Network are reshaping what Bitcoin can actually do.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• How Jesse’s background in environmental engineering led him to co-found Amboss and build infrastructure for Bitcoin’s Lightning Network.
• Why Bitcoin mining isn’t as “dirty” as critics claim—and how renewable energy and stranded power (like hydro in Africa) are part of the story.
• What makes Bitcoin different from altcoins—and why “the next Bitcoin is Bitcoin.”
• How the Lightning Network adds speed and privacy without compromising Bitcoin’s 21-million supply and auditability.
• Whether quantum computing and SHA-256 encryption are real threats—or just headline-grabbing narratives.
