Today on the podcast we had Prof K on to tell us about his journey into the crypto space. He's one of the earliest adopters of DeFi and spent countless hours exploring and documenting this new sector of crypto before it hit the big spotlight.

Prof K specializes in helping projects reach their full potential. He's had years of experience in the crypto space and focuses on growing startups and building a more robust foundation that projects can leverage for future growth.

We're about to see the highest monthly close in Bitcoin's history. The previous monthly high was ~$13,700 and today will mark a close above $19k for the first time ever.

We're seeing an unprecedented level of activity in the BTC futures market and in the activity of institutions getting exposure to BTC in various forms. Some are buying BTC outright while others are integrating BTC into their business model and others are investing into GBTC.

Coindesk reports on the Guggenheim news that broke yesterday. Guggenheim manages over $233 billion USD in their various fund allocations. A particular fund called "Macro Opportunities" has $5b in assets and Guggenheim just filed to invest up to 10% of this fund into GBTC.

This article by @behiver talks about the ETH2 launch and gives some quick overview details about the stats for ETH2 so far.

This weekend, we met for another LEO Roundtable Podcast. The whole crypto market experienced a correction and many are wondering if it's a meaningful move. We analyze this and a myriad of factors related to how the market is moving right now.

We move on to discuss WLEO / LEO tokenomics - especially as they relate to exchange listings. LEO has such a low liquid supply that many wonder if we have the liquidity to list on various exchanges. In this episode, we explain the important tokenomic inflows/outflows that will accompany various exchange listings.

This is the 75th episode of the LeoFinance podcast and this might be the most wide-ranging episode we've ever recorded. We covered even more ground than usual and even had 2 of @scaredycatguide (Mitch)'s friends join the show.

These 2 investors recently bought 10k + LEO each and had some questions around tokenomics, staking and security. It's always fun to see new faces on LeoFinance and this time, we got an even deeper insight into who is attracted to LeoFinance and why. Shoutout to Mitch for turning himself into ScaredyCatBroker for this one and getting these new users/investors onboarded to the platform.

It's been a wild ride for LeoFinance, LEO and WLEO. We've done this all before as we created the first version of Wrapped LEO and launched it into the Universe. Now we're back with an improved model, a high degree of security and a much bigger community.

In some ways, WLEO 1 was a blessing in disguise. It allowed us some time to go back to the drawing board on a number of aspects related to LeoFinance and the LEO token economy. With the knowledge of what happens when a wrapped token is introduced coupled with a desire to relaunch in a highly secure and compatible way, we've finally brought back WLEO.

WLEO 2 marks an important milestone for our project. LeoFinance is a cross-blockchain social platform. We're built using the most powerful aspects of Hive: fast, scalable and free transactions and our platform bridges the gap to other blockchains by reaching out with projects like the LeoInfra Metamask integrations (allowing Metamask users to signup to LeoFinance/Hive in less than 30 seconds) along with vital aspects of our economy like Wrapped LEO (WLEO).

We kicked off this episode of the LEO roundtable by talking about the podcast and a future UI update to service more video content directly on the LeoFinance.io UI. We jumped into some questions that @rollandthomas prepared as we talked Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and also considered their impact on U.S. Debt.

@dalz wrote a post last week about stablecoins and how they're seeing an incredible rise in printing. Is this the new norm or are we waiting for a massive shift to take place?

From there, we talk Bitcoin and if there are safe ways to collect interest on your long-term BTC holdings. Thorchain's future cross-chain BTC liquidity pool integration comes up and then we talk about the differences between wBTC and native BTC.

Some details about the upcoming release of LeoInfra V2, the new WLEO LP incentive model and some 5 year projections are also discussed along with a general discussion around Ethereum and DeFi.

In This Episode:

The events yesterday have a profound impact on all of us right now. Shaking the momentum of LeoFinance and our resolve to the core.

What we do in the days that follow will define how our community and platform develop in the future. As much as I wish we could go back in time and change the way that things happened, we can’t. Instead, we have to learn from the successes and the failures. We have to take what is given to us and move in the only direction possible: forward.

In this episode, we talk about the hack. Plans to recover from it and also our future plans to build LeoFinance into a better project moving forward including new UI releases and other features from our roadmap.

We streamed another LEO roundtable this weekend and did a post-WLEO launch round-up. It’s been just over a week since WLEO debuted on Uniswap and the results blew us away.

Clearly there is a desire on Hive/LeoFinance for this bridge to the broader crypto market. We’re also slowly seeing Ethereum-based users creep into the LEO ecosystem one small step at a time.

With the upcoming releases to the LeoFinance UI, coupled with marketing and the new database backend we’re building (LeoInfra), we’re gearing up to onboard a whole lot of new people to the LeoFinance platform.

These are some of the most exciting times to be a part of this community and we’re still just getting started. The updated roadmap for 2020 is filled with new features and projects. Now that WLEO has launched successfully and we’ve built a bridge to Ethereum, the world of DeFi and crypto has opened up in a way that is hard to describe.

For now, we’re enjoying some nice price action on LEO. In the near future, we’ll see a massive influx of new users.
