FAT SALMON ENERGY 🐟⚡️

Charles and Ben catch up on what’s happening at Antidote. We cover the latest on Project Safety Net, including the search for a CEO or commercial lead. We also welcome new faces to the office!

In the news, we dig into RGB, stablecoins and tokenized assets arriving on Bitcoin, and why “nothing is happening in Bitcoin” is wrong. We also talk about regulation, the velocity of money, and why builders need to speak up for the right to grow.
