Thomas Pacchia sits down with software architect, Navy pilot, and author Eric Voskuil for a wide-ranging fireside chat about:


  • The true story behind Libbitcoin

  • Why Bitcoin Core’s architecture can’t scale and may already be eroding full validation

  • A first-person account of Amir Taaki’s wild journey from Bitcoin dev to Kurdish militia fighter

  • Why Voskuil sees “assume valid” as the beginning of the end for permissionless money

  • Why the performance gap between Bitcoin Core and Libbitcoin matters

  • How funding pressures, philosophical drift, and tech debt are shaping the future of Bitcoin infrastructure
