Marty interviews Adam Back and Sean Bill from Blockstream about Bitcoin's evolution from cypherpunk ideals to institutional financial infrastructure. They explore pension fund adoption strategies, with Bill sharing his experience getting Bitcoin onto Santa Clara County's balance sheet and the challenges of convincing conservative boards. The discussion covers Bitcoin as pristine collateral in structured lending products, the emergence of second-layer solutions like Lightning Network and Liquid, and how these technologies are building a Bitcoin-native banking system. Back explains the development of mining notes, security tokens, and trustless trading platforms, while Bill details the massive opportunity for underfunded pensions to use Bitcoin's asymmetric returns to solve their funding gaps.
