Sergej Kotliar on Bitrefill's New Bitcoin Bill Pay Solution and Living on Crypto

Sergej Kotliar, CEO of Bitrefill, comes on the podcast to discuss his company's new bill pay system, which allows anyone to pay virtually any bill with crypto, completing the living on crypto experience. We go into the state, and future, of mass adoption of cryptocurrenices, and how the reality of people using the technology differs from what you might hear on Twitter. We go into the "number go up" as a value proposition of crypto that many didn't expect. We also go into the state of Bitcoin's Lightning Network and how well it has developed so far.
