Drew Armstrong sits down with Alex Leishman (CEO & CTO of River) for a tavern chat and open Q&A about:
- How and why Alex started River (even though he isn't a "finance guy")
- Why most U.S. bitcoin companies are derivative casinos, and how River is different
- The challenge of building real bitcoin UX in a market addicted to speculation
- How Alex thinks about custody, nodes, and what it means to “actually use Bitcoin”
- Why ETFs might help price go up... but won’t help people become financially sovereign
- What it takes to raise capital in a bear market when you're NOT peddling garbage
