We're excited to share a conversation with Sid Powell, CEO and Founder of Maple Finance. The team at Maple is tackling one of the most risk involved and challenging issues of Decentralized Finance, undercollateralized lending. Sid is a unique founder in the web3 space, as he comes with a background in banking, not software development. We hope you find plenty of interesting ideas to chew on throughout this conversation.

Deep Dive 8: Democracy Earth and Santiago Siri
Santi comes from Argentina and began building Democracy Earth in a YC cohort. This project continues to evolve, and at the time of the podcast he had just launched an experiment in Universal Basic Income called Proof of Humanity. If you’d like to take a first step into the crypto ecosystem, this would be a very interesting experiment and community to participate in (and you get streamed money for doing so!).
Customer Reviews
Highly valuable for anyone trying to gain an understanding of crypto
As someone who feels already left behind in understanding the mechanisms behind block-chain technology, this is a refreshing and valuable resource.
Where did it come from
Fascinating history of the development of currency. The link between religion and the payment of armies was enlightening.
