Mario Gibney On Bitcoin Fees, Layer Two and BTC In Space EP107

On today’s show I talk with Mario Gibney, head of customer
service at Blockstream and co-host of the Unhashed Podcast. We
cover the ins and outs of Bitcoin miner fees, the future of block
rewards, and ways users can save on fees through optimization and
secondary layers. We also dive into the feasibility of
interplanetary Bitcoin transactions.
