Following Tether (USDT) losing its peg to the USD and dipping to $0.92, we have the Founder and CEO of MakerDAO Rune Christensen on the podcast to discuss MakerDAO's Dai stablecoin and the MKR token.

- How other stable coins complement Dai (on-ramps, off-ramps, Dai is the bridge between other stablecoins)

- Stablecoin use cases (finance, dApps, remittances)

- How MakerDAO’s token holders are actually in control of the network today (MKR).

- Discussion on Dai’s stability mechanisms and the future ways to make Dai even more stable (Dai savings rate account adjustments)
