EP93: Life’s a Breez with Ivan Makedonski

Listen Later

www.breez.technology has been around for a while, and to be honest I didn’t know much about it, so when Ivan reached out to have a chat it seemed like as good a time as any to start learning. 


Located in Sofia, Bulgaria, Ivan (@Nackoo2000) is the Chief of Staff (Chief of Stuff) and first non-developer to work for Breez. He’s my favourite type of bitcoiner...the ones that are here for the mission first, knowing the money will take care of itself. 

 

We discuss: 

  • Primal on Nostr (desktop). 100x improvement 

  • Being orange-pilled by your lady 

  • Devoting a holiday to prove her wrong 

  • We’re all on the same team. Love not money 

  • Bitcoiners with conviction are those who first tried to prove it a scam 

  • Bitcoin striking an intense emotional button 

  • The ultimate measuring stick is unit of energy 

  • The challenge of explaining Bitcoin to loved ones 

  • Not asking for permission. Just starting and trying to make an impression 

  • The practicalities of remote working 

  • Being aligned on the mission and genuine care for your colleagues 

  • Bitcoiners coming out of the shadows in Bulgaria 

  • The functionality of Breez and the importance of Lightning as the medium of exchange  

  • Lightning Service Providers 

  • Business and Personal Goals 

  • Custodial versus Non-Custodial and improving reliability 

  • Saving versus Using Bitcoin 

  • Spending Sats creates another node in the network 

  • Instant settlement 

  • Aligning incentives and split payments 

  • Consequences for cheating
