The DeFi Daily

EU Regulatory bodies realized today that DeFi might be hard to police, and Pat and Amy are there to make fun of them. Plus, the UK isn’t letting their consumers trade crypto derivatives (so, like, DeFi), and a big Crypto VC is still betting on DeFi.

Pat and Amy discuss that DeFi in general is down this month, but mutual funds are getting into crypto with some investments in crypto mining. Plus, it’s Pat’s favorite time of the month – crazy bitcoin price predictions!

The big news of the day comes from Pat’s favorite bitcoin price oracle, with John McAfee being arrested in Spain for US Tax Evasion. Pat and Amy also talk about front running on dexes (be careful out there everyone), then Pat gets pretty worked up about a run of the mill Chainlink / Ren partnership […]

Markets take a hit as Trump gets Coronavirus, Pat still can’t understand why Coinbase made any statement at all (even as their employees are taking them up on the severance), and some technical mumbo-jumbo about Ethereum front running.

The US Judicial system drops the hammer on BitMEX, and Pat and Amy are there to analyze the hell out of it. Is this the end of DeFi? The end of CeFi? Will we never get to see the Corndog Token or Turduckin Coin? Listen in to find out!

If Coinbase can take a non-sensical, contradictory stance, by god, so can Pat.

Amy and Pat talk about the EMI no-launch and hack, Pat gets nostalgic for the early days of Bitcoin and Hal Finney, and they end by discussing the new Strongblock protocol.

In a whole episode dedicated to the KuCoin hack, Pat and Amy discuss what happened, how KuCoin responded (poorly) and what the knock on effect to DeFi has been (spoiler alert: some of the protocols you think of as decentralized aren’t).

$20 Billion dollars of stable coins, and Pat and Amy manage to do their first show with no mention of Sushi, Uniswap, or any other crazy meme DeFi project. Also, Gemini is getting in on the DeFi craze (in the most low effort way possible), and then Pat babbles about some crazy technical stuff for […]

Pat and Amy talk about how you can’t trust UNI because the employee tokens aren’t locked in a vesting contract, you can’t trust your phone because new malware is stealing crypto, you can’t trust influencers because they’re pumping and dumping, and you can’t trust Binance because…they control a ton of governance over Uniswap. //X-Files Theme […]
