Welcome to Web 3 with A6 and Z, a show about building the next generation of the internet from the team at A6 and Z crypto that includes me, your host Zonal Choxi.

Today's episode is a wide-ranging conversation on company building big to small,

including how often and when to ship, to the relationship between centralization, decentralization, and platforms,

to moving from web two to web three in both crypto and payments,

as well as why Bitcoin, views on remote work,

and much, much more, because it's an interview with David Marcus,

CEO and co-founder of Light Spark,

which is building infrastructure for the Lightning network

to extend the capabilities and utility of Bitcoin.

Marcus was also a co-creator of DM, aka Libra, the cryptocurrency

project initiated by Facebook. Before that he was vice president of messaging

products there where he ran the Facebook Messenger unit and prior to joining Facebook

Marcus was a former president of PayPal. Our format is a conversation where I

just helped kick things off but I left more time midway for a rich interesting set of questions from the audience

as this originally took place live on stage at our crypto startup school a couple months ago.

As a reminder, none of the following should be taken as investment, legal, business, or tax advice.

Please see A6 and Z.com slash disclosures for more important information including a link to a list of our investments.

Thank you so much for joining us today, David.

My pleasure.

We're really honored to have you here today.

And just to kick us off, I want to spend some time just laying the ground.

When people hear about your career, it seems I want to spend some time just laying the ground.
