Join us as we discuss second-layer solutions and building on the Bitcoin blockchain on the Mainstay Digital podcast, Macro Visions, hosted by Kelly Massad, and joined by Andre De Castro.

“In some ways, you can think of Catenis, our product, as the parallel brother or sister to the Lighting Network, the difference is that the Lightning Network transfers bitcoins, and we don’t.” — Said Andre De Castro.

There’s a big misnomer in the space that it’s not possible to build apps on the Bitcoin blockchain. People think that it is only used to send and store value. In the interview with Kelly, Andre mentioned a conversation he recently had with an engineer who took a deep course on how to build on Ethereum with the Solidity language. The Engineer said that during the first two days of the course, the professor spent the entire time telling the class why it was impossible to build on the Bitcoin blockchain and that it couldn’t be done.

There is so much disinformation in the space about what the Bitcoin blockchain’s capabilities are. Due to these misconceptions , Blockchain of Things decided to offer free Development accounts for any person that wishes try it out! These free accounts have the full power of the Catenis Platform. The only difference is that the free Development account uses the Bitcoin TestNest. Once you build, test, and are ready to deploy to Bitcoin’s MainNet, you can simply switch to a Professional account.

“Amazing. Well, I promised innovation, and that’s what I got during this podcast interview.” — Said Kelly Massad.
