Bitcoin and Beyond EP6: How Stacks Is Scaling Bitcoin with Muneeb Ali

No one better to discuss the bull case for Bitcoin L2s than long-time Bitcoin advocate and Stacks founder, Muneeb Ali.


In today's video, we explore the competitive landscape of Bitcoin L2s, highlighting Stacks’ first-mover advantage and why Muneeb is extremely bullish on Bitcoin scaling primitives. We discuss the initial use cases for Bitcoin as collateral for yield generation, Bitcoin as a payment system, as well as the great "unlockening" of billions in dormant capital.


We also discuss the modular vs. integrated debate, and how he views the progressive modularization of Bitcoin as it aims to be more scalable. As the conversation became more technical, we touched on the utilization of various trust models and mechanisms, including federations and threshold wallets with economic incentives. Muneeb shed light on how Stacks leverages institutional partners for security.


Join us for a conversation about the bull case for Bitcoin L2s with one of the earliest adopters of scaling tech.
