TLS56: Gigi on Internet Business Models, Value 4 Value, and Freedom in an Information Age

Jul 9 2022 • 1hr 38m

Show Notes

Gigi is a pseudonymous Bitcoin developer and author and is full of compelling ideas about Bitcoin and the Lightning Network.
In our talk, Gigi explained how ad-funded business models on the internet are broken, how value for value can offer a solution, and his views on paywalls, micro-payments, and freedom in the information age.
