This Tuesday, I am releasing the 6th episode of DROPS, our podcast series for upcoming founders and projects!
This time, I sat down with @Lukex from @satlayer !
We talk about:
- Bitcoin as pristine collateral - Bitcoin Staking - The 4 layers of BTC yield - Bitcoin DEFI and how to earn 5-10% yield on your BTC - Is Bitcoin DEFI worth the risk? - What Satlayer is - Why the world needs Satlayer - Bitcoin backed Stablecoins
Today, we share another insight form our 3H conversation with @gavofyork (that will be premiered during the first week of June!) :
Gavin Wood co-founder of Ethereum and creator of Solidity, the EVM, and @Polkadot - keeps it it real: the move to rollups (L2s) is pushing Ethereum into an identity crisis, pulling value out of the core chain and making it more like a “rollup host” than a true smart contract platform.
This is something that Gavin and his team had theorized more than 7 years ago: "the writing was on the wall". These issues were coming, so he built something different from day one: Polkadot and the "Parachains".
Parachains aren’t a quick fix; they’re the foundation. Gavin admits it’s not perfect, but the important thing is the solid groundwork: Polkadot was always about real scalability and letting specialized chains work together, instead of patching old problems.
The lesson: What you build at the foundation is what matters, even if it’s not perfect yet. Now that Polakdot has built a strong base, there only needs to be a few tweaks here and there to enable the great products of tomorrow to be built on Polkadot
Full conversation out on June 4th, on the WHEN SHIFT HAPPENS PODCAST - to kickstart POLKADOT JUNE!
- do you laugh (hard)when explaining it to other people? - are people pissed off or laugh when you explain it to them? - is your coin top trending on Moonshot for months, whether its up a lot or down horrendously? - who is shilling it and did you REALLY make money off the “shills” of your favorite KOL?
Bonus: If your favorite KOL is coping instead of shilling the memecoin you are eyeing, you might have a bingo!
Been here since early 2019 with full conviction , when BTC was at 3.5K
If you are in crypto day in and day out since years and try to contribute to the industry, you must believe that it will go up forever because that is literally Bitcoin’s value prop
If you dont believe so, You haven’t done your homework and / or are a tourist
Bitcoin and crypto prices going up is literally showing that they are working as designed (and yes - that you were indeed right - but Karma punishes people who brag so you better keep quiet and focused)
And therefore there is no reason to feel euphoric at all
It’s just how it should be: 10k was expected, 100k was expected, so is 1M
My only (small) celebration will be at big round numbers for BTC: 1M and 10M
