Interview with Edan Yago on building the Bitcoin economy

Probably the most practical convo i've had on Bitcoin adoption.

What is up you beautiful people!

This week I talk with Edan Yago.

Edan is a core contributor to Sovryn. A DeFi protocol building really great financial primities and tools over on Rootstock. In the past year they’ve dropped two big products for Bitcoiners. The first is a zero-interest loan with no KYC or any other BS, and through this they have created a Bitcoin-backed stablecoin called $DLLR.
They have the highest TVL locked out of all the Bitcoin-focused chains so the market seems to be like it.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • The Role of Money (We don’t think about this enough)

  • Satoshi’s Hierarchy of Needs

  • Practical steps for new Bitcoiners

  • What is Sovryn?

  • How Bitcoin increases adoption.

  • Building a powerful Bitcoin economy

  • Bitcoin-backed Stablecoins

Super interesting conversation.
