We’ve got a special episode with Alex Heath, deputy editor at The Verge and a familiar host for Decoder listeners, and David Marcus, the CEO of Lightspark. That’s a company that just launched a service to make fast transactions using Bitcoin on something called the Lightning Network. David was previously at PayPal, and then he led Meta’s big payments effort that went nowhere, but he’s got a lot to say about where crypto and payments are right now.Links:<a href="https://www.lightspark.com/news/launching-the-lightspark-platform">Launching the Lightspark Platform</a><a href="https://www.theverge.com/2019/7/15/20694740/facebook-libra-senate-testimony-regulatory-oversight">Facebook tells Congress how it thinks Libra should be regulated - The Verge</a><a href="https://www.theverge.com/2021/11/30/22810220/facebook-crypto-david-marcus-novi-diem-meta">The leader of Facebook’s stalled cryptocurrency project is leaving the company - The Verge</a>Transcript:<a href="https://www.theverge.com/e/23460507">https://www.theverge.com/e/23460507</a> Credits:Decoder is a production of The Verge, and part of the Vox Media Podcast Network.Today’s episode was produced by Creighton DeSimone and Jackie McDermott and it was edited by Callie Wright.The Decoder music is by Breakmaster Cylinder.
