Host Brian Nibley welcomes Gil Roberts, a Bitcoin advocate with a background in finance, for a deep dive into the governance debate dividing Core and Knots.

They discuss why Bitcoin may need a third path to encourage innovation without risking forks. Gil shares insights on Bitcoin’s role as money, the challenges posed by stablecoins and CBDCs, and the importance of usability—especially in developing nations where Bitcoin adoption is accelerating.

The episode also introduces Bitcoin Commons, a new effort to simplify node operation and strengthen the Bitcoin ecosystem.
