Meltem Joining Stacks,the newest board member

Meltem Demirors is the chief strategy officer at digital asset investment advisory group CoinShares,She’s also the newest board member of the Stacks Foundation， the nonprofit organization that promotes development on the Stacks network (formerly Blockstack).

Stacks is a network designed to bring the types of decentralized applications and smart contracts Ethereum is known for onto Bitcoin. Or, as the website puts its, “Stacks unleashes Bitcoin’s full potential as a programmable base layer.”Demirors told us in an interview. "Gold is a shiny rock. Bitcoin is not a rockThere’s a lot of work to be done on the narrative around Bitcoin." "I think this narrative of, ‘Oh, Bitcoin is never changing and not innovative but it’s stable, and Ethereum is really innovative or other protocols are really innovative’—we need to kill that narrative. And Stacks is going to help us do that.”
