In this podcast episode, Dan interviews Kain Warrick and Marcus Ochmann.

Kain is the founder of Havven and the CEO of blueshyft. Havven is a decentralised payment network and stablecoin.

The Havven ICO proposes a decentralised payment network built on a stablecoin to capture all the benefits of a permissionless system, while also eliminating volatility. Havven plans to achieve price stability by pegging the value of the token to fiat, while simultaneously introducing a decentralized collateral system to provide confidence in the value of the tokens.

Independent Reserve, the Australian Digital Currency exchange, has opened Australia’s first over-the-counter trading desk for institutions wanting to make large digital currency trades. Their mission is to transform digital currency technology into secure, robust and regulated financial services.
