What if blockchain isn’t just about coins and speculation—but about real, everyday utility?
In this episode, Dr. Marian Siwiak talks with Lorien Gamaroff @Gamaroff a blockchain pioneer and the founder of Centbee, about how Bitcoin technology can enable true financial inclusion across Africa. Lorien shares the story behind Sentby, a mobile money platform built on Bitcoin that’s leapfrogging traditional banking systems and giving people without access to banks a way to store and send money.
They explore the shifting purpose of Bitcoin—from digital cash to digital gold—and dive into why Lorien believes Bitcoin Satoshi’s Vision (BSV) holds the original promise of utility, low fees, and governance. From the cost dynamics of blockchain to regulatory compliance and the future of NFTs, this conversation challenges crypto orthodoxy and reclaims blockchain as the missing protocol of the internet.
This one is for anyone wondering: what happens when ideology meets infrastructure?
