Who Will Build the Roads? (w/ 1A1z)

Dan O’Prey and Mas Nakachi join Daniel Modell for a live-streamed chat in the PubKey Parlor, where they discuss ​1A1z's recent reports covering both the organizations that fund Bitcoin core devs and VC firms focused on Bitcoin companies. They dive into:

• Why are there only 41 people maintaining a trillion-dollar network—and who’s paying them?

• What happens when the most important software in the world runs on a shoestring budget?

• The quiet role of Jack Dorsey and a handful of anonymous benefactors... and how normal people can be even more impactful

• Why Bitcoin’s biggest security risk might be a spreadsheet no one’s looking at

• The bizarre funding gap between flashy altcoin projects and Bitcoin companies

• What the VC world still doesn’t get about Bitcoin and everyday users—and how that might be changing
