Devchat! We speak with Ben about being a developer in the Bitcoin space, from Bisq to Hardware wallets!
Unlicensed software engineer. Coding
I’m a software developer focusing on Bitcoin related projects. For the last year and a half, I have been contributing to various Bitcoin projects, such as Specter, HWI, Bitcoin Hardware Wallet Interface and Bisq. I have also written several articles which you can find in the Blog section or on Medium.
Bitcoin made sense right away

Shitcoins, What got you? i got fooled by the tech narrative
Contributed to bitcoin core HWI
Contributed to Bisq
Specter is the global name comes from the cypherpunk manifesto
