On today's podcast we're joined by early investor and entrepreneur David Johnston to discuss:

  • A new "consensus-based" alternative to "reserve based," "game theory based" or trusted oracle-based Stablecoins
  • The growing relevance of DeFi even for those who aren't using it
  • Johnston's Law six years later, how far we've come and real reasons for optimism on the decentralized evolution of everything.

Further listening: The original panel where Johnston's Law was introduced in 2014
