I sit down with Brian Mahoney, CEO of Thesis and Acre, to explore the cutting-edge developments in the Bitcoin space. Brian shares his insights on the evolution of Bitcoin from a simple store of value to a versatile, programmable asset class, discussing how Layer 2 solutions like Mezzo are opening up new use cases for Bitcoin, including decentralized finance, Bitcoin-backed mortgages, and yield generation.
Brian explains how Mezzo, a Bitcoin Layer 2 network, leverages TBTC to bring Bitcoin into the world of programmable finance. We discuss the challenges of building on Bitcoin's highly secure but slower infrastructure, and how Layer 2 solutions like Mezzo are designed to overcome these obstacles. Brian also touches on the role of decentralized custody systems and the importance of maintaining Bitcoin's core values of decentralization and openness.
Bitcoin is evolving beyond just a "HODL" asset and the potential it holds for transforming the financial landscape. Brian also shares his journey from traditional finance to becoming a key player in the crypto space, offering valuable insights for anyone interested in the future of digital assets.
