Dash Platform developer Ivan Shumkov comes on the podcast to give a comprehensive overview of Dash Platform development up until the present time, from Evonet launch at the end of 2019 to testnet launch at the end of 2020. We went over what still needs to be done on testnet this year before mainnet launch at the end of the year, including paying off technical debt and getting everything stable. We also went into "post-MVP" with a lot of future-seeking questions answered including migrating SLP-style tokens to a more flexible sidechain-style token, advanced username recovery systems, and much more.

Crypto Blood comes back on the Rundown to talk all things crypto, especially the market crash that we've had to deal with after such a great price run-up previous to that. We also talked Bitcoin's dominance slipping below 50% again, as well as the sky-high fees resulting from the hashrate dip, and speculated about its future as the king of the space. We also cover the impending onset of regulations, as well as the energy consumption costs of proof-of-work, and how serious of an issue they are for the space moving forward.

Max Hillebrand joins the podcast to give a very detailed and in-depth rundown of the Bitcoin Lightning network as it works today. Particularly, we go into detail about second-generation Lightning wallets such as Breez and Phoenix, which leverage Lightning Service Providers (LSPs) to provide much of the functionality while still allowing customers to maintain control over their own funds. We also go into the current state of the network, and the challenges it still faces and must overcome before any kind of mass adoption is achieved.

Albert Castellana of StakeHound joins the Dash podcast to talk all things DeFi, particularly as it pertains to Dash. We first cover StakeHound, and its custodial approach to issuing token wrapping of assets that can then be used to participate in DeFi such as providing liquidity and gaining transaction fees. We talk about how stDash allows Dash users to get several layers of returns off of their investment, including masternode rewards on top of the DeFi applications. We also talk more generally how DeFi works, why it's revolutionary, the risks associated with it, and how it may interface with the fiat world.

Jeremy Kauffman, CEO of the company behind the development of the decentralized content protocol LBRY, comes on to talk about the unfortunate recent news that the US Securites and Exchange Commission (SEC) is suing LBRY. We cover why the suit doesn't make sense, all the protocols and due diligence LBRY did to avoid such a situation, attempts to settle the suit, the path moving forward, and more. Most importantly, we cover the dangerous precedent this case could set for crypto, making almost any crypto developers potentially liable for selling unregistered securities, even of the absolutely most decentralized projects.
