Ryan Gentry returns to the show after five years to announce his new Bitcoin Infrastructure Acquisition Corp, a $220 million SPAC focused on taking Bitcoin operating companies public. The conversation covers how the Lightning Network has grown from single-digit millions to potentially $10 billion in annual payment volume, Block's move to bring Lightning to US merchants, and why public markets are hungry for Bitcoin company exposure. Ryan and Marty also reflect on Bitcoin's journey from $15K to nearly $90K and the maturing ecosystem of Bitcoin businesses ready for the next level.
