How Bitcoin Could Change Human Behavior - A Block with Roy Sheinfeld
A Block with MirWhat if Bitcoin’s greatest potential isn’t simply replacing fiat payments but transforming the way humans transfer value?
In Episode 11 of A Block with Mir, I sit down with Roy Sheinfeld to explore Bitcoin’s utility, the evolution of Lightning, and the new experiences that permissionless value transfer could unlock.
Roy shares his journey from a successful career in the fiat world to working full-time on Bitcoin. We discuss the moment that changed his direction, the relationship between meaningful work and personal purpose, and why the Bitcoin ecosystem needs more than developers, it also needs designers, product thinkers, business builders, and people willing to create roles that do not exist yet.
We also explore:
⚡ Why Lightning could become Bitcoin’s common language
🔄 The difference between payments and value transfer
🧠 How Bitcoin could create entirely new human behaviors
💼 Building your own career and role in Bitcoin
❤️ Illness, purpose, and personal reinvention
