What is Bitcoin’s Lightning Network? And why did Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey take hold of the “Lightning Torch?”

We're delighted to host "Blue Matt" (Matt Corallo), a long-time Bitcoin Core Developer, and Jeremy Welch, CEO of Casa, for a conversation on all things Bitcoin, Lightning, and more!

Before the conversation starts, we'll do a live hardware demo the Casa Node & Lightning Pizza to order some pizza via the LIGHTNING network to enjoy after the talk!

Hosted by Abbey Titcomb, Head of Strategy at Onward Labs, Matt & Jeremy will give us the lowdown on Bitcoin development, what’s in store for 2019, and the best ways for newcomers and OG’s alike to get involved during a healthy Q&A.
