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.
