Episode notes
Building on Bitcoin with Stacks.
Muneeb Ali was kind of enough to stop by and discuss his product "Stacks". Stacks is a proposed layer 2 technology that is built on top of bitcoin. A lot of people in the bitcoin ecosystem have reservations about products such as Stacks which have their own asset being built “on top of bitcoin”. Some say this is just a marketing ploy, so I asked Muneeb to come on to get to the bottom of it. Muneeb answered all of my questions and helps share the differences between proof-of-stake, eth vs his product, Stacks.
Muneeb shares his passion for computer programming, the early days of bitcoin, and what it was like starting up a company. His passion for Stacks is shown clearly through the dedication of his team and his willingness to come on and answer some tough questions.
