Rootstock: Bringing the Ethereum Virtual Machine to Bitcoin | The Protocol

In this installment of “The Protocol,” hosts Brad Keoun, the founding editor of The Protocol Newsletter and tech journalists Sam Kessler and Margaux Nijkerk are joined by Sergio Demian Lerner, Chief Scientist at Rootstock, to discuss his research on the Patoshi pattern and the early mining of bitcoin.

He explains how he identified that Satoshi Nakamoto had mined approximately 1.1 million bitcoins and had never spent them, which built trust in the system. Sergio also shares his insights on the upcoming Bitcoin halving and the importance of transaction fees for the sustainability of the network.
