Blockstack is an open-source and developer-friendly network for building decentralized apps and smart contracts. Blockstack inherits Bitcoin's security through Proof of Transfer, enables you to write secure smart contracts with Clarity, and brings it all together in one decentralized network maintained by developers from all over the world. More than 500 teams are already building on Blockstack.

Some of the dapps I’ve tried out on Blockstack are Xor Drive, Arance Docs, and Arcane Sheets. These are alternatives to Google drive, Google docs, and Google spreadsheets. It’s great to see alternatives to the enterprise applications many people need to use finally being developed as dapps in the blockchain space. Blockstack is the one making this possible and it’s the only ecosystem where I’ve found many enterprise and business solutions I’ve not seen anywhere else.

These are some of the questions we went over:
• Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?
• How and when did you originally get into cryptocurrency
• Can you give us a brief introduction to Blockstack?
• What problem does Blockstack solve?
• Can you speak a little bit to the ecosystem from Blockstack to Hiro
• Let’s talk a little bit about the Stack 2.0 launch
• Can you speak about the Mainnet update January 14 launch?
• What are the next big updates for Blockstack to release soon or that are in the works?
• Where does Blockstack fit in with other existing similar projects?
• Where do you see Blockstack going in the next year? The next 5 years?
• So where can everyone go to learn more about this?
