Announcements: -Vote for Tone Vays, Jimmy Song and Thomas Hunt on Coindesk's most influential people -I did an interview with Andy Hoffman -Bitcoin reached new ATHs of over $6100!
-With Charlie Lee the creator of Litecoin recently completing some on-chain atomic swaps and the lightning wallets releasing newer and newer versions, and the recent uptick of segwit usage over 17%, how soon can we expect a significant portion of tx's to run over Lightning?
-Now that LedgerX has launched, the first regulated entity to have a unified way to buy and sell Bitcoin via swaps, and monetize the volatility with options, saw over $1million in trading derivatives in the first week, what does this mean for the ecosystem?
