The State of Bitcoin (w/ Alex Leishman)


Listen Later

Drew Armstrong sits down with Alex Leishman (CEO & CTO of River) for a tavern chat and open Q&A about:


  • How and why Alex started River (even though he isn't a "finance guy")
  • Why most U.S. bitcoin companies are derivative casinos, and how River is different
  • The challenge of building real bitcoin UX in a market addicted to speculation
  • How Alex thinks about custody, nodes, and what it means to “actually use Bitcoin”
  • Why ETFs might help price go up... but won’t help people become financially sovereign
  • What it takes to raise capital in a bear market when you're NOT peddling garbage
