Lightning⚡️Ventures Syndicate Q&A with Kyle Murphy aka The Bitcoin Bum! Kyle is the Founder and CEO of Pleb Lab, the world's 1st Bitcoin and Lightning Accelerator.  Born in Austin, Texas this is built by Plebs for the Plebs.  Their first iteration included names like Stacker News, Oshi, Zaprite, Hoseki, and Lightning Escrow. Loads of talent and projects coming out of these rad dudes.  Just like YCombinator... but for Bitcoin... well sort of... Kyle is raising his first round of funding and we have some awesome questions from our network for him.  Talking about the early days, plans for the future, how it works, what's to come, co-founders, advisors, Pleb co-working, and more.
