In this episode, we talk about…
- Why Bitcoin is more than “digital gold,”
- What Christian learned from his time at Facebook
- Why he believes openness — not corporate control — will ultimately win
Our guest is Christian Catalini (@ccatalini), Cofounder and Chief Strategy Officer of the global payments startup @lightspark, and a former architect of Meta’s shuttered Libra project — one of the most ambitious attempts to create a corporate-backed digital currency.
Here's a snippet from the conversation.
