Co-founder at Request Network since 2017, Christophe is one of the most successful leaders in decentralized finance. His background as a CFO in more traditional structures and his experience at the Y combinator, allowed him to better understand the challenges posed by the web3.

He’s an ordinary person, a proud dad from the French countryside, currently living in Singapore and working in the web3 industry since 2014. He’s been living and working in more than 8 countries, on 3 continents. He can say it’s an exciting adventure every day.

At 23, he was a CFO in Geneva, Switzerland, at a fast-growing IT startup. 4 years later, in 2014, he took the risk of quitting his job to build on the blockchain with his first startup.

In this adventure, he went through 3 accelerators, including YCombinator. That’s where he and his colleagues realized that the cross-border money transfer industry only existed due to an inefficient and financially exclusive banking system.

Building a fair alternative with their own hands, along with an army of open source developers was natural. It is about being a rebel with fair chances of success. It is about changing the world for the sake of financial inclusion. He loves the people in the industry who are there to fight for humanity’s freedom from the capitalistic tyranny of centralized institutions. Together, we help usher a financial revolution by depriving the big banks of their power over the masses. The point is, currencies, technologies, and protocols should be controlled by everyone.

That’s why the Request Network makes sense to Christophe, they interconnect isolated financial systems to create more efficient and inclusive economies. They are accomplishing this by building a decentralized and open network for payment requests, in other words, a ledger of payment requests, connected to all blockchains, with shared accesses and interoperability.

He is a risk-friendly builder and a hodler. The core team members are builders, together with the REQ community since 2017. They believe that the long-term approach is the one that will bear the most fruits. Long-term means decades, not weeks.

Request Network users, community members, entrepreneurs, partners, and team members are builders of a whole ecosystem. The first successful application of this ecosystem is Request Finance, a crypto-friendly invoicing application serving more than 900 companies, DAOs, and freelancers of the Metaverse, DAO, NFT, and crypto industries, such as The Sandbox, Aave, and The Graph.

We are lucky to be in this place and to be interconnecting millions of businesses, regardless of their country or currency.

Wayne Marcel joins us to discuss simplifying Web3 identity management with FIO Protocol's crypto handles.

Wayne has been managing, teaching, and coaching high performing teams for over 20 years. Several years ago his passion for helping and teaching people was merged with his passion for technology as he learned more about cryptocurrency and blockchain projects. Digging deep and learning about the issues with the current legacy financial systems solidified his passion for cryptocurrency and all things related to it. Also, with many predators taking advantage of people with fake cryptocurrency scams and high cost-low value education programs, he decided to make my sole focus around educating and coaching others. 

He realized the road to mass adoption must travel through education and user friendly platforms. He also realized over many years of coaching others that education without proper mindset and personal development coaching doesn’t lead to desired results. Through our strategic partners and personalized 1-on-1 coaching and education program, Wayne will give you the right tools and mindset needed to make the right decisions in this space.

During this landmark episode, the Leadership Team will share a retrospective on their podcast interviews, explore the evolution of their Aftershock weekly news recap series, highlight their short-form educational series called Crypto Decrypted, and tease the expansion of their Live Show, Non-Fungible Thursdays. 

Crypto Current’s Podcast Episodes feature the platform’s Founder and CEO, Richard Carthon, and its COO, Steven Miller, interviewing those individuals making waves across the rapidly growing landscape of Web3. While each of their shows are meant for viewers of all experience levels, the Crypto Current Team especially tailors its interviews for those who have a basic understanding of cryptocurrencies who want to dig deeper.

Reaching this milestone is a testament to our team’s commitment to upholding our core values while having fun with educating the world on the potential of this next evolution of the Internet. With every new episode, I always look forward to helping people stay Crypto Current."

As for the rest of Crypto Current’s content slate, The Aftershock keeps listeners connected with current events in Web3 every Wednesday; Crypto Decrypted provides the crypto-curious a great place to begin learning if you’re new to the space - covering everything from fundamental concepts to advanced analysis techniques; and Non-Fungible Thursday on Twitter Spaces gives listeners the opportunity to learn about NFTs in an interactive setting. 

Steven Miller, COO of Crypto Current added, “As Crypto Current has expanded its content since January of 2021, it’s been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career hearing the impact each of our shows have had on our community. Day in and day out, we’ve worked to teach everyone from curious newcomers to the tech-savvy futurists about the remarkable potential of Web3 technologies - and now that we’ve reached this remarkable milestone, we’re so excited to announce our first Day Conference - AGMI - will make its debut August 19th, right in the heart of Austin, TX.”
