Living on crypto & the freedom of exchange feat. Joel Valenzuela of Dash and Reuben Yap of Firo

The state of the market is brought to you by @Exitus and @DecredSociety and aims to look at social, economic, and crypto news.

This is our second multi-chain discussion, which will look at the potential for living off crypto, freedom of exchange and cross-chain initiatives. In this show, we’ll be joined by:

• Tivra – @WasPraxis, a regular to the show and enthusiast of emerging tech and Ai
• Joel Valenzuela – @TheDesertLynx, best known for his work with the Dash community and advocate for living off crypto
• Reuben Yap – @reubenyap, co-founder and project lead for the Firo project and privacy advocate

Live stream agenda:

Let’s start by introducing the Firo, Dash and Decred projects and discuss what makes each of these projects unique? And what we can look forward to in the short and long term?

Living off crypto and using crypto for payments is something I’m keen to see evolve. Joel is someone who has already found a good amount of success in this area. How are you currently achieving this, and what initiatives can be developed to make the user experience even better?

What initiatives are each of our communities engaged in to push the potential for using crypto in our everyday life more realistic?

Working for crypto to create an economy instead of just using crypto as a financial instrument (e.g. buying and selling coins) is still very novel. What is being done in each of our projects to make this a reality? And what is the potential for further inclusion?

Exchange, continues to be a contentious issue. What do you see as the biggest barriers preventing people from using DEX’s? Which aspects of DEX’s are beneficial compared to CEX’s and visa-versa?

Privacy is a big issue in the crypto space and in general. How do our projects deal with private? And based on the regulatory climate around privacy coins, what can be done to de-stigmatise privacy?
