Understanding Lightning Network with @Jestopher_BTC | Value Stack 20

Today's guest is @Jestopher_BTC. Jestopher is the co-founder of Amboss.space and hosts Satbase.org. He’s an educator on lightning network, community leader, and Bitcoiner with a passion for getting things done. He's on my short-list of experts to ask lightning-network related questions, and it has been incredible to watch him build Amboss and push lightning growth forward in a meaningful way. Unfortunately, we had some audio volume issues throughout recording, but hope it's still listenable enough to enjoy the show. You can find Jestopher on Twitter at @Jestopher_BTC.
