Bitcoin Self-Custody Without Explaining Lightning Liquidity to Anyone
The original Ark proposal assumed Bitcoin would get CheckTemplateVerify. Second built it anyway. In this conversation with Shinobi, Matthew Vuk explains how Ark delivers full self-custody and Lightning interoperability without any changes to Bitcoin, what the liveness tradeoff costs users in practice, and how delegated signing or an always-online node removes the burden entirely. He also explains exactly what covenants like CTV would eliminate if they ever arrive.Grab your copy THE 2036 ISSUE👇
