19 - DeFi vs Banks | Hasu

<p>Episode: #19<br /> June 29, 2020</p> <p>Hasu is a free-thinker. A truth seeker. A rare voice in crypto. He's not afraid to push back on tribal dogma. He breaks rank with Bitcoiners on some topics and Ethereans on others. Yet he still considers himself a member of both tribes and respects the mysticism (and even dogma) of these deeply social systems.</p> <p>In the spirit of Satoshi he's pseudonymous. We don't know his actual identity.
