Questions:
0:00 Start
01:13 What's your perspective on scalability vs. decentralization, and what is on the horizon for Stacks in this department? 
11:10 It's been said that transactions per second could be considered a vanity metric for blockchains. What's your opinion on the metrics that will really matter that you're looking out for in robust Layer 1s of the future? 
14:30 You recently shared a tweet about the BurgerSwap exploit where 7.2M was drained from BurgerSwap on Binance Smart Chain due to a reentrancy bug inherited from Solidity. In contrast the Stacks ecosystem offers Clarity for building out secure smart contracts — can you share more details on how and why these different design approaches were taken? 
18:25 Now, you're not going to Bitcoin Miami, but might be having some FOMO — are there any crazy crypto stories you’d like to share or things you are looking forward to as the world opens back up? 


Hiro is a Public Benefit Corp building developer tools for Stacks, the network that enables apps and smart contracts on Bitcoin.
