Mission DeFi EP 45 - Andrew Yang's Lobby3 is here to help advance #DeFi. How they will do it & why. @AndrewYang @Lobby3d

Andrew Yang's Lobby3 is ready to educate the US Congress on how DeFi can help average people get ahead. I was a big supporter of Andrew Yang's during his presidential run. While I do believe that UBI is good policy, I primarily supported him, because he took a pragmatic and logical approach to solving problems that was non-partisan and welcoming. That is why when he announced he was forming a lobbying DAO to advance Web3/DeFi, I immediately let him know I was onboard and I wanted to interview...

Mission: DeFi EP 44 - Forgotten Bancor plans to become unforgettable? Nate Hindman & Mark Richardson detail the powerful Bancor 3 & much more.

Bancor for most of DeFi is the forgotten pioneer that built the foundations of everything we have in DeFi.

Mission: DeFi EP 43 - Matt West: Engineer, Yearn Strategist, & Solidity dev running for Congress @mattdwest

We've got one shot to make sure we have the right Congress for #DeFi and Matt West couldn't be more crypto native. He's the right candidate at the right time and all of crypto should be backing his candidacy against an anti-crypto candidate. We cover Matt's background as an Intel engineer and more importantly as a Yearn strategist / Solidity developer and his background from the earliest days of bitcoin. We couldn't get a more pure crypto candidate than Matt West. What are his chances? ...
