This interview features Ethan Heilman, co-author of OP_CAT and BIP 360, discussing the debates shaping Bitcoin’s future as Layer 2 interest continues to grow. The conversation explores why OP_CAT is controversial, how it could influence trustless bridges, and the cultural dynamics that affect Bitcoin governance as the ecosystem moves toward long-term stability. We also talk about his recent work on BIP 360, a proposal focused on addressing Bitcoin’s quantum vulnerabilities. Filmed in Boston with a three-camera setup, this project combines clean visuals with a grounded, thoughtful conversation.
