Fedi is on an ambitious mission to bring the power of bitcoin to the world by leveraging the open source Fedimint protocol to equip individuals with freedom technology. Obi Nwosu is Fedi's co-founder and CEO and was the founder of Coinfloor, the largest bitcoin exchange in the UK before he sold the company in 2021. In this rip Obi explains the differences between building a centralized custodian like Coinfloor and a federated custody product at Fedi, how bitcoin is the digital Hulk, and how bitcoin can empower billions of people around the world.
