I found an interesting interview/podcast with Thomas Voegtlin, creator of Electrum that I wanted to share here. It's from 2019 but it's still relevant as they discuss things like security, open source, and history of Bitcoin, among other things:

Imagine you were in 2011 😉

Great interview.

This is an exclusive podcast although it has been recorded in 2019. I am working on a project to interview some GOATs in the community. Hopefully end of this years I will bring something. We need a place to hear their experience.
