BoltObserver, Risks to Lightning, & The 'Value Enabled Web' w/ Aljaz Ceru

Aljaz is the CEO and Co-Founder of BoltObserver, software which provides monitoring and management services for lightning nodes. He's also the co-founder of the Bitcoin Ljubljana meetup, and has worked in the bitcoin space for several years. He is another guest who booked themselves on the podcast (really enjoying this approach so far), and we had a great discussion about bitcoin in Slovenia, lightning node management and the potential risks of centralization and 'regulatory capture', approaches to bitcoin development and promotion generally, and much more. Enjoy! --- More from Aljaz: TWITTER: https://twitter.com/aaaljaz More from me: TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex SUBSTACK: Money Messiah VIDA: https://vida.page/johnkvallis NOSTR: npub1cqm6dztalp4l6n04f9k20c333xftgangjla337736dr6faz9na0qf2hjec To buy Bitcoin in the US with zero-fees, purchase hosted mining rigs, and access their Lightning Services platform for developers, visit River.com If you're in Canada, use this link (https://t.co/npfGxWKO26) to buy bitcoin with Bull Bitcoin, and receive $20 free when you first fund your account with $50 or more (and buy bitcoin with it).
