BitVM is a new paradigm for Turing-complete bitcoin contracts. In this episode I speak with the creator, Robin Linus and another developer working on the idea, Super Testnet. We discuss:
- What is BitVM?
- What are some of the trade offs?
- What could BitVM enable?
- Set up time and interactivity
- Can it enable sidechains or covenants?
