b"Jameson Lopp is a technologist who has been involved in the bitcoin space for over 10 years. He has worked at bitcoin companies, created and contributed to several educational resources, and co-founded Casa, a service which helps customers self-custody their bitcoin.\\nJameson recently hit me up, asking if I'd be interested in a discussion about 'bitcoin covenants'. While I tend to focus more on the 'personal', 'cultural', or 'philosophical' aspects and implications of bitcoin, I am still quite interested in what's happening in the technical department, and even more so about how different people think about the appropriate approach or process to making upgrades to bitcoin.\\nIt seemed to be like Jameson would be a great person to have this discussion with, and I was interested in hearing more about his background generally, so we set it up.\\nEnjoy!\\n---\\n\\nMore from Lopp:\\nTWITTER: https://twitter.com/lopp\\nWEBSITE: https://www.lopp.net\\n\\nMore from me:\\nTWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA\\nYOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg\\nMEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex\\nSUBSTACK: Money Messiah\\nVIDA: https://vida.page/johnkvallis\\n\\nTo buy Bitcoin in the US with zero-fees, purchase hosted mining rigs, and access their Lightning Services platform for developers, visit River.com\\nOnce you buy bitcoin, taking custody of it is extremely important, if you want to maximize the benefit of this unique asset.
