“Layer 0 is deeply connected to time and energy, layer 1 is deeply connected to blockspace and mining pools… layer 2 is deeply connected to routing and the onion network which lives inside the Lightning network; it’s cool that each layer thinks it’s about one thing and winds up solving these unexpectedly adjacent problems.”
— Dhruv Bansal

Dhruv Bansal is a co-founder of Unchained Capital. In this interview, we discuss how Satoshi approached creating Bitcoin, Bitcoin’s deep relationship with time, how markets drive decentralisation, and scaling vs ossification.
