Bitcoin captivated Jeremy Rubin when he read the white paper in 2011; he's since been a Bitcoin developer, researcher, and community organizer. His recent contributions were centered around enhancing programmability for Bitcoin through the JudicaVM platform (Sapio, Attestation Chains) and soft fork upgrades that would decrease trust assumptions for smart contracts users such as covenants and fee sponsorship. Recently, Jeremy took leave from his Bitcoin involvement. He'll be joining us to share his meditations on Bitcoin, how it has evolved from the early days to today, and how the will of today's community can impact what Bitcoin will become in the future.
