In general there is that thing in the crypto industry that when there is a hot topic there is hype and when there is hype then there is easy money like people want to invest people think there is that opportunity to like make a quick hundred X or something and then there are always projects who are exploiting that, who are selling stupid ideas to greedy investors.

Welcome to BakeLiss, where we explore the frontier of internet money and internet finance

today on the show we are exploring the frontier of ZK roll-ups on Bitcoin through the lens of

the bit VM. You might be familiar with the Bitcoin

layer 2 landscape. This has been a thing that has been very hyped in

development in the Bitcoin world over the last year or so. All of that

technical innovation is standing on the shoulders of this technical implementation

called the BitVM which promises to enable true uncompromised trustless Bitcoin

Layer 2s.

We are bringing one of the authors of the BitVM White Paper, Robin Linus, on the show today to talk about how he got into the world of building the BitVM.

And exactly how it works and what it strictly enables

under the hood and how it is the same or also different from the Ethereum

rollups that you may be familiar with. This at least to me I don't know David a few greys is one of the most exciting

projects I've ever heard of on Bitcoin because it promises to create a just a ton of innovation and scale on top including kind of a robust

roll-up type ecosystem and all sorts of things can be built on top of BitVM to sort of scale this.

So some have described this to us as the holy grail

for Bitcoin scalability.

So it's very exciting to hear Robin describe that here today.

Guys, we will get right to the episode

with Robin Linus about BitVM, but before we do,

we want to thank the sponsors that made this possible,

including our recommended crypto exchange
