John Carvalho, Founder of Synonym joins me to talk about Slashpay and SlashTags, an ambitious attempt to dramatically smooth the process of exchanging bitcoin addresses or lightning invoices. What kind of things does this enable? We discuss:

Competing standards in Bitcoin
How it would work
Updating and revocation of SlashTags
What other things are enabled by this public keypair approach
Why not use a blockchain
Putting tether USD on lightning
