Victor Messing

Recovered Bitcoin maximalist who ran a Lightning Network node from 2016 to 2022 and still owns the domain name for a defunct BTC-only podcast. Victor covers Bitcoin governance, Layer 2 development, and the civil wars within maximalist culture with the special bitterness of a true believer who read the orange paper and then read the room. He writes elegies for a cypherpunk movement he insists already happened.
