Podcast, Christian Keroles sits down with Desiree Dickerson the VP of Business
Operations at Lightning Labs and cofounder of MintGox! Des is deep in the
trenches of Lightning and pioneering adoption of the bitcoin stack inside
the gaming ecosystem. Dickerson believes that both game creators and players
unlock massive value by integrating satoshis (Bitcoin) into their games. Des
sees lightning as the perfect avenue for scalable and easy bitcoin integration
into gaming for a completely revolutionary experience. With the founding of
MintGox, Desiree and several other sought out to create a community and
tournament to demonstrate the power and use cases that are unlocked by
integrating lightning with video games. MintGox and Zebedee will be sponsoring
and hosting the Bitcoin 2021 Esports Arena which will feature Thunder Games,
Satoshi’s Games, Christian Moss, CSGO all powered by Zebedee’s Lightning SDK.
Christian and Des discuss why Lightning and Bitcoin are important and why
their rise is inevitable. Dickerson is moved by the idea of fair and transparent
financial access for the world and making that available to as many people as
possible. Des believes that games as well as other forms of earning Bitcoin will
push people to onboard directly to the lightning network. Start ups like Strike
are great examples of how lightning infrastructure enables large and small
players alike to tap into a global permissionless payments network that yields
an unstoppable advantage over proprietary competitors like Paypal and CashApp
