Open Sourcing the Internet with Bitcoin-John Light

John Light is a technical thinker and a doer. He spends much of his time thinking about improving the human condition and is excited about using innovative governance, entrepreneurship, and Bitcoin technology to achieve that end. John has worked on products for Sovryn, was previously the ZK-Rollup Research Fellow at the Human Rights Foundation, worked on community governance at the Aragon Association, was a product marketer at Abra, was a co-founder of Bitseed, and founded the Buttonwood SF cryptocurrency trading meetup. He advises startups and investors and enjoys contributing to open-source Bitcoin projects.

In this interview on The Bitcoin Source, which is my most technical and controversial thus far, we discuss the layer 2 Bitcoin side chain protocol RSK, validity rollups possibly being used to make miners more efficient, and working outside of the Bitcoin main chain on alternative cryptocurrencies.
