On the very first episode of Rehash, we’re chatting with YouTuber and DeFi educator Kris Kay (aka Defi Donut). 

We start off the episode by getting to know Kris, his background, and how he got into crypto. Kris then answers some of the beginner crypto questions like, “what is the difference between crypto and web3?” and “what is DeFi?”

Then, we get into some more complex topics including crypto culture, DeFi trends, proof of work vs. proof of stake, and important things you need to know about the upcoming Ethereum merge. 

Finally, Kris looks to the future and shares what he’s most excited about next for DeFi, and gives us some tips on how to get started in crypto.
