Bitcoin - From SegWit to Taproot [Anthony Towns, Bitcoin Core Developer]

We're taking a look back at the last big Bitcoin controversy and forecasting what's in store for the future. Anthony will cover how he got involved in Bitcoin development and turned that into a job. This talk is a uniquely amazing opportunity to learn what it's like to work on the open source bits of Bitcoin. More specifically, we'll review the last big consensus upgrade to Bitcoin - Segregated Witness (SegWit), activated in late 2017. Then we will turn our attention to the recently announced Taproot upgrade, how it works and what it means for Bitcoin.
