A Conversation with Bobby Shell

Michael Peres sits down with Bobby Shell—VP of Marketing at Voltage—to unpack how businesses are adopting Bitcoin’s Lightning Network for instant, low-fee, chargeback-free payments. We cover why Lightning (a Layer 2 on Bitcoin) solves speed and cost, how Voltage abstracts the technical complexity with an API-first SaaS, and why enterprises (exchanges, neobanks, wallets) are rolling it out at scale—including stablecoins like Tether coming to Lightning.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
• Lightning 101: how payment channels enable instant, near-zero-fee Bitcoin transactions.
• Where Voltage fits: API, hosting, and reliability so teams don’t manage nodes themselves.
• Bitcoin beyond “digital gold”: layered architecture vs. L1 congestion on other chains.
• Enterprise adoption signals and real-world use cases (exchanges, wallets, neobanks).
• Stablecoins on Lightning: why it matters for global payouts and commerce.
