Episode: Save Our Wallets: The Legal War on Bitcoin | Matt Corallo
Description: In this episode, veteran Bitcoin developer Matt Corallo joins to discuss why second layers like Lightning and Ark are essential for scaling Bitcoin — and why current laws put them at risk. He breaks down the regulatory blind spots threatening non-custodial wallet developers, and advocates for the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act to preserve open-source Bitcoin innovation in the U.S. Corallo also challenges Bitcoin's cultural orthodoxy, pushing for realism on decentralization, L2 tradeoffs, and the future of meaningful development. We cover Bitcoin maximalism, scaling via hybrid wallets, legal tail risks to L2s, and more. Enjoy!
