Can Bitcoin become the foundation for the next generation of startups? What separates greatfounders from everyone else?

 

In this episode of the We Are Satoshi Podcast, I sit down with Israel Muñoz—entrepreneur, investor, and co-founder of Build with Bitcoin—to explore how Bitcoin is evolving beyond a store of value into a platform for innovation. We discussstartup investing, entrepreneurship, venture capital, Lightning, Bitcoin Layer 2s, AI, energy, and why the future belongs to builders who solve real problems.

We also dive into why Bitcoin businesses think differently about profitability, why user experience remains one of Bitcoin's biggest challenges, and how Bitcoin, AI, and energy are becoming deeply interconnected. 👇 Subscribe for more conversations with the people building the future of Bitcoin.
