McShane is the director of programming at Bitcoin Magazine and plays an instrumental role in bringing Bitcoin Magazine’s Bitcoin Conferences to life. He is also a Venture Partner at Lightning Ventures - a newly established venture fund focussed specifically toward bitcoin and lightning companies.

• Nostr - what it solves and why we’re excited about it.
• Bitcoin Core Dev Attrition and the potential to build out a better funding mechanism to support core devs.
• Speedy Trials
• The gap between those that see it and those that don’t
• Paper bitcoin and price suppression
• Price as an attack vector
• The validity of price
• Choosing our battles
• Bitcoin as a commons and free market over being money.
• NVK’s podcast - Bitcoin.Review
