Janusz is meeting Solana degens where they’re at by building a product that helps them stack bitcoin during their regular Solana use. “Lemon Drop” is the first product release in Janusz’s recent Bitcoin pivot and builds towards his bigger goal: increasing Bitcoin privacy through increasing Bitcoin’s anonymity set. Also: activating a Bitcoin soft fork?

Notes:

• How Lemon Drop works

• Privacy on Bitcoin

• Open Source vs Product focused development

• A soft fork activation?
