Rune Christensen is the Founder of MakerDAO and one of the pioneers of the DeFi space. As one of the earliest DeFi protocols, Maker set precedents for tokenomics, governance, and use cases. Maker is setting new precedents with the recent announcement of Société Générale's proposal for a Maker loan using bond tokens. As a thought leader in Crypto, Rune has had some fascinating takes lately on the plausibility of a multichain future, as well as how incentives can turn DAI into a clean money. From maximalism to environmentalism, this conversation explores it all. ------ 🚀 SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER: https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/  🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST: http://podcast.banklesshq.com/  ------ 📣 ZERION | Your Gateway to the Metaverse! https://bankless.cc/Zerion  ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 💰 GEMINI | FIAT & CRYPTO EXCHANGE https://bankless.cc/go-gemini​  💧LIDO | DECENTRALIZED STAKING https://bankless.cc/Matcha  👻 AAVE | LEND & BORROW ASSETS https://bankless.cc/aave  🦄 UNISWAP | DECENTRALIZED FUNDING https://bankless.cc/UniGrants  ------ Topics Covered: 0:00 Intro 7:00 Rune Christensen of MakerDAO 12:20 Société Générale 20:32 Why Maker? 23:48 Criticizing the Multi-Chain World 41:19 Optimizing for Home 49:06 On Maximalism 58:13 Nativity and Monetary Premium 1:07:47 Does Decentralization Matter? 1:12:53 Multi-Chain Propaganda 1:20:00 Maker as Clean Money 1:29:56 Aligning Human & Market Values 1:41:05 Environmental Economic Crisis 1:46:26 How Maker Gets Clean 1:53:24 Narratives 2:02:41 Solarpunk Tokenomics 2:09:53 Updates on DeFi 2:12:12 Closing & Disclaimers ------ Resources: Rune on Twitter: https://twitter.com/RuneKek?s=20  MakerDAO: https://makerdao.com/en/  The Case for Clean Money:  https://twitter.com/RuneKek/status/1445072416598859781?s=20  The L1 Future: https://twitter.com/RuneKek/status/1436454065760788483?s=20  ----- Not financial or tax advice.
