- Jeff is the Founder of Merlin.
In this episode, we discuss how Merlin Chain aims to make Bitcoin fun again. We interview Jeff about why we need a Bitcoin L2 (or sidechain) like Merlin, how they grew it to nearly $3B in liquidity deposited since launching in Feb 2024, and how to get started as a user.

It’s been a while since I’ve actively engaged with you here, and I’ve missed some of you! I am thankful for those who reached out, as well as the people with whom I’ve managed to keep up during my hiatus. Thank you! I also appreciate all the others who had me in their thoughts during my absence. I know who you are, and I am genuinely grateful for and to you!
During this hiatus, I spent a lot of time reflecting on my past, present, and future. I realized that the challenges I’ve faced, which initially seemed like curses and didn’t make sense to me at all, have taught me a lot about life and humanity. Now, after two weeks, I’ve refound my energy and am ready to start a new chapter in my story. The insights and realizations I had during this period—most of which are related to my personal life and I won’t delve into yet—have allowed me to see the world from a different perspective. You know how I always advocate for looking beyond the obvious and considering multiple perspectives to understand the essence of things and how you can position yourself towards them. Well, there have been, and I’m sure there still are, other perspectives I failed to consider in life and humanity… or perhaps I was aware of them but didn’t want to believe in them
I am happy to be back! I missed this community, and I look forward to seeing how I can further enrich our collective narrative. How is everyone doing? How have you been?
Thank you!🌹
