The conversation then shifts to the challenges facing Bitcoin's L2 development, OpenAI's legal battles over celebrity rights and employee NDAs, and Nvidia's AI-fueled stock surge. Finally, they highlight Jito's launch of Stakenet on Solana and compare the diverging paths of Ethereum and Bitcoin L2s. Enjoy!
