  "description": "The opening episode of a crypto series. Martin Wichmann — vice chair of the cryptocurrency association Konsensus ry and one of the founders of Aave — explains what decentralised finance actually is and how it differs from the Bitcoin protocol. The discussion covers proof of work against proof of stake, the energy debate and why more mining makes the network safer, Ethereum's inflation and the EIP 1559 upgrade, and how smart contracts allow lending pools and exchange services to be built with no counterparty to trust. Sami Miettinen brings the collateral angle from the bond world: the tokenisation of bonds, property and pledges. Along the way: Tesla's 1.5 billion, MicroStrategy and Michael Saylor, the collateral behind stablecoins and Tether's audit problem, the ICO boom and the SEC's Howey test, NFTs and in-game assets, and finally Lagarde's digital euro and why it threatens the deposit base of commercial banks.",
