Condensat - A Swiss bank for cypherpunks

Condensat - A Swiss bank for cypherpunks

Julien Guitton is the founder of a Swiss fintech called Condensat. He hopes to later obtain a Swiss banking license. Julien comes from the cypherpunk mouvement so it seems paradoxical that he would want to create a swiss bank. We discuss why he wants to do this, why it is not contradictory to the cypherpunk mouvement, how it will work and the roadmap.

Please take a few minutes to answer these short questions.

Noteworthy - Making bitcoin notes so the newbie can own bitcoin

Kevin Monahan is the CEO of a company called Noteworthy. Noteworthy makes physical bitcoin bills in paper. The bills have the private keys on them.

Furthermore, Kevin worked at MyEtherWallet. The importance of this is that he has quite a bit of experience educating people in crypto.

Liquity, an Ether backed stable coin, created in Switzerland

Liquity, an Ether backed stable coin, created in Switzerland

I talk to Micheal Svoboda, he is the COO of Liquity. Liquity is a collateralized back stable coin. It is backed by Ether. It is therefore completely different from Terra-Luna. Its closest relative is the Dai stable coin. However Liquity has 2 major advantages over Dai. First, it is interest free and second the minimum over collateralization rate is much lower, 110% compared to 150%. Micheal Svoboda describes how it works, their great success in just 2 years, regulatory issues and more.

Tomer Strolight - Is Ethereum what it claims to be?

Tomer Strolight is a successful author and podcast host. He has had a lot of success with articles that have been shared by Micheal Saylor and Jimmy Song. In this podcast we discuss his most recent article "The problem with Ethereum." We discuss how it has strayed from their original promises. Tomer makes comparisons to Bitcoin and explains that Bitcoin has remained truer to its promises, which gives it more credibility and thus in the long run, more value. We talk about the transition to Proof of Stake, Defi and NFT. A great conversation to put things in perspective!
