A Block with Mir & Blake Kaufman (Blitz Wallet)

In this episode, we sit down with Blake, the founder of Blitz Wallet and one of the standout builders from Cypher Tank. After placing third out of 149 applicants, Blake became one of the most talked-about participants of the format, not only because of the product, but because of the vision behind it: making Bitcoin easier to use without compromising what makes it powerful. We talk about his journey into Bitcoin, the family values that shaped his mindset, and the surreal moment when Brad Mills personally offered to invest in Blitz Wallet (followed shortly after by Willy Woo). Blake also shares how Blitz Wallet has evolved since Cypher Tank, including new features like Bitcoin gifts, designed to make onboarding smoother, and payment pools, which help groups collect and track funds directly inside the wallet. This is a conversation about Bitcoin, entrepreneurship, user experience, word of mouth, product-led marketing, and building tools that people actually want to use… and of course Italian randomness brought to you by me :) and don't forget: “Simplicity does not mean featureless"
