Ian Major is the co-founder of Joltz Rewards, a Lightning-powered loyalty platform offering Bitcoin rewards as a service.

In our conversation we discussed how Joltz works, why the loyalty rewards industry needs Bitcoin and the Lightning Network, and how Taproot Assets could unlock an entirely new set of loyalty rewards and experiences for brands and consumers.

This show is a Lightning podcast. That means instead of asking for likes or shares, I ask for sats.

The best way to show your support is to download Fountain from the App Store, load your wallet with some sats, and send them over the Lightning Network to kerooke@fountain.fm.
