Summary
This week we chat to Bam Alasi , a Syrian Bitcoiner and Lightning Engineer, about privacy, the Bitcoin Lightning Network, his awesome new bitcoin wallet (or “vault” as he prefers to call it) Cypher Box , the situation in Syria and both technical and political solutions for humanity. Bam has been a huge support to Access Tribe and recently “fact-checked” our Islamic Finance presentation for the University of Calgary, as well as providing lots of support on technical matters over the last couple of years, particularly as it relates to the Lightning Network. It was a huge pleasure to finally get to talk to him face to face, and gain a greater understanding of the evolution of Bitcoin adoption across the Middle East.
