The Case for a New Bitcoin Execution Layer with Eli Ben-Sasson

The future of decentralization is about true self-ownership, not just removing middlemen.

In today's episode, we sit down with Eli Ben-Sasson, co-founder of StarkWare, to explore his bold 2025 prediction: Starknet becoming Bitcoin's execution layer.

We dive into why ZK technology that isn't live in production doesn't scale, how blockchain is becoming the new diplomacy channel, and what happens when people realize they don't fully own their lives.

Eli walks us through the pros and cons of turning Bitcoin into a powerhouse for computation and how Starknet is pushing forward with real decentralization.

Let's get into it.
