Happy Sat-urday Stackers,

We're hosting our first Stacker News Roundtable on Friday 9/28 at 9a CT (2p UTC). We're bringing on a diverse set of bitcoiners, including Fold CEO Will Reeves, Drivechains creator and Layer2Labs CEO Paul Sztorc, the bitcoin maximalist's heel Udi Wertheimer, and someone yet-to-be-determined for a multi-polar discussion on bitcoin building, culture, and opportunities along with a discussion of bitcoin's challenges.

Find common ground while holding your own this weekend, stackers!
