SLP85 Sergej Kotliar - Building Bitcoin’s Circular Economy

Sergej Kotliar (CEO Bitrefill) rejoins me in this episode recorded at Bitcoin2019 Conference in San Francisco to talk about his views on the ‘store of value first’ narrative in Bitcoin. Is there a need to build a Bitcoin circular economy now? Sergej also offers some reflections on the situation with the bitcoin fee market, and provides an update on what’s happening at Bitrefill. 

Topics:

• “SoV first” vs building the bitcoin circular economy 
• Bitcoin Twitter is not representative of Bitcoin
• Dealing with taxes and capital gains on bitcoin
• Being the best ‘bitcoin guy’ for your family and friends
• The fee market in bitcoin and how it may evolve over time
• Bitrefill services, particularly Lightning Network related
