They Can't Stop Bitcoin - With Adam Soltys
"I became convinced that Bitcoin was the real deal."
Adam Soltys is the developer of coinos.io one of the easiest solutions for someone to start accepting bitcoin payments instantly. Only takes seconds, and also does lightning and liquid seamlessly.
He started hosting Bitcoin meetups and getting local businesses to accept Bitcoin. Adam acknowledges that Bitcoin still faces challenges, such as regulatory pressure and attempts to control and censor it.
He believes it's up to individuals to resist these efforts and speak out against them. As the custodian of CoinOS, Adam takes measures to ensure the security of the funds and manages the balance between hot and cold wallets.
He has experienced attacks and exploits but continues to learn and improve the system. CoinOS started as a non-custodial wallet but evolved into a custodial wallet to address scaling issues and provide a user-friendly experience.
Adam sees second-layer solutions like Lightning, Liquid, and eCash as promising and believes that a mix of different solutions will be necessary to scale Bitcoin securely and self-custodially. In this conversation, Adam from CoinOS.io discusses the best path for developers to learn about Bitcoin and its codebase.
He recommends starting with Bitcoin Core and playing with the command-line interface to understand the commands and transactions.
He also suggests reading books like 'Mastering Bitcoin' by Andreas Antonopoulos and taking courses like Base58 to dive deeper into the technical details.
