The goal of this channel is to think about crypto in a different way. Contrary to popular belief, crypto doesn't have to be, "Buy and hope it goes up." Through DeFi, there are so many ways to earn high & safe yields on your assets, which is a total game changer in terms of portfolio construction.
Yield farming is not a "get rich quick scheme," but rather a "slow grind to more wealth" strategy. And I argue that USING DeFi is the best way to LEARN DeFi, which will present natural alpha for you in the future. I am not an ecosystem maxi, but a yield maxi. If an ecosystem presents a good risk-adjusted yield, I will be there. Subscribe to follow my journey!

[@rankinggroup4752]

why didn't you discuss RFD

[@cffindler7051]

At 3:20 you mention there’s a fake blur shilling some scam coin, which coin are you referring to is it RFD? Show some respect for your audience, everyone was telling you to mention RFD in the questions and you completed ignored them

[@cffindler7051]

Completely ‘

[@GROKTOBN]

Hello Taik! Your interview with Blurr was truly remarkable. It was filled with lots of valuable information and provided a great insight into Blurr as a person…major ALPHA!!!. He came across as a very honest and extremely intelligent young man. My only concern was that the RFD project wasn't addressed during the interview despite you encouraging viewers to submit questions on X. As a good content creator and interviewer, it's crucial to address the important questions that viewers want to hear. I could imagine they're might have been a request from Blurr regarding the topics, finding a balance between respecting those wishes and catering to both new and old viewers is key. Despite this, I thoroughly enjoyed the interview you did a commendable job. Thank you and you should be proud of yourself!

[@MikeHobbiton]

In time I'm sure all the beans will be spit 😎 He did say maybe we will talk more in future ones. I believe this was just an introduction to Blurr as a person so we can all get a feel for him. I'm betting upcoming ones will be very informative on $RFD. All released at the right moment 😎

[@mattygoal]

[@LytninC]

What an excellent podcast, favourite episode so far

[@ndu38]

Great interview. I’ve never been so pumped about learning. Been in this space for 3 yrs and even though I’ve spent most of that time leaning. It just dawned on me that I know nothing. Thank you guys so much

[@nztitirangi]

Nice one Taiki and thanks to Blurr for sharing, more please

[@hei_zen]

What a surprisingly based and humble guy. Listened to all of it, which is quite rare for me.

[@marissa1296]

[@me_lantas]

[@mali447]

Very, very intelligent interview.

[@mkayultra3738]

Gud content

[@natek64]

Really the heart of the DeFi question: What are real use cases with higher value:cost ratio than trad fi? Real yield Realistic yield:borrow spread Liquidity

[@Astrow389]

None

[@ahmedberro2583]

Will part two be released after Agust 4th? YOU should ask him about RFD.

[@RAFAELLO077]

Dude is 100x smarter than me twice the age.

[@TeigenLila]

Appreciate this... +1

[@cryptoairdropinfo]

damn, what a smart fella. great podcast.

[@user-wr7bf1qc6v]

How do you know this is the real Blurr?

[@mr.nobody7218]

this is cia created blurr clone that sent to taikis highly demanded market manipulative podcast to manipulate cryptos future for government to gain more power

[@merage_79]

cuz Taiki asked him to send him 0.000001 eth using Blurr.eth 🤣

[@tylerhunt1673]

Probably talked via D'bank?

[@AlfonsoGTeran]

great story

[@karlreimann4950]

Thanks so much Taiki, awesome interview, as a total lay person it has definitely convinced me to get out ha ha ha 👍

[@tylerhunt1673]

You can learn my friend

[@tihkal]

Awesome talk thx guys. Bro is a gigabrain

[@TheKFCManager]

only question audience wanted was about rfd. no word about rfd whole video. dump it.

[@kunalduttabeet]

Where you earth you will get usdt for 0.5%??

[@mr.nobody7218]

when interview scoot Lewis?

[@Phil1968BCFC]

No questions about Blurr's own coin $RFD? although all very very interesting, is there a reason not one thing was asked about it.

[@mjw59000]

Taiki might not even know about rfd

[@MikeHobbiton]

​@@mjw59000 That is straight up silly. He most definitely knows about RFD. He said there will be a part 2. These interviews are specifically made to eventually lead up to RFD. Be patient.

[@mjw59000]

Fingers crossed. There was silly me thinking these interviews were about different crypto wizards within the industry. Silly me , but thanks to you, I now know all these interviews are designed to end up talking about a shit coin that has gone and will go nowhere. Silly me.

[@chevymusclecar1970]

He asked on twitter for input on questions. RFD was mentioned multiple times. He just refused to ask the question this interview for whatever reason.

[@mjw59000]

Fantastic. Good info. I was worried about Mike KNOBBITON'S info. As part two was not a given. Silly him. I do think the main reason why RFD wasn't mentioned is because it's just trash, pointless.

[@Trantaloid]

The issue with actually using protocols as a self-education tool I can make your tax return very complicated and perhaps very costly.

[@alvbern]

Interesting that blurr's unhappy dispite all the wealth, travel and novelty. There's a reason there are still suicides among rich people. Happiness comes from achieving goals you highly value. When you do not value money, there's no happiness in making it. Sometimes people go for goals that aren't really theirs (family expectations, society, etc.). Glad blurr mentioned you think people should stop and think more, I'm sure in time he'll find a productive use for is time and money. Good luck!

[@Astrow389]

It’s because he stole 30m and he’s just a low level crypto gambler

[@user-wr7bf1qc6v]

When episode 2 with Blurr?

[@0xEmpirer]

Shortly after this podcast Blurr derisked on Canto and withdrew 1.8m USYC 🤔

[@Trantaloid]

I fwu Taiki! Les go Canto!

[@JamisonHarris12]

great interview

[@henri-pauldesjardins8311]

Wen episode 2 ?

[@1ntrcnnctr608]

sounds like hes on the run

[@southPark-px5bx]

This is pretty hard for me to understand

[@nataliabuchkovych9106]

why would anyone believe this is the real blurr?

[@Astrow389]

It’s not

[@MikeHobbiton]

​@@Astrow389 but it is... 😎

[@mighty1029]

It is.

[@anolivetreeisgrowing]

it not

[@KaiZer77]

it is

[@MoMsIXs]

Refund best crypto

[@jclp81]

The “GLOBAL” Economy…. Lol. 🦑

[@7eeroy]

The NFT thing, if you're bullish Ether, it's best to buy the floor on High end NFTs like punks because they increase in ETH value as ether goes up in theory.

[@brownly808]

dear Taiki Maeda san, please ask about $rfd next time for us ok? Thank you so much

[@Stygilation]

There's no sound.

[@MoMsIXs]

There is

[@Stygilation]

Huh, it wasn't 15 min ago 😢

[@mattfromblock]

[@gsheverything_2716]

No questions about #rfd huhhh

[@TheKFCManager]

avoiding because it was pump & dump for $$$

[@MikeHobbiton]

In time... watch for part 2 😎

[@tomislavbirk8986]

No sound xd

[@progressivinvest]

Isn’t blur a Russian guy?

[@MikeHobbiton]

Nope

[@a.y1623]

This isnt the real blur, you got rugged pulled

[@Astrow389]

Taiki, you are smart, please build a real career and think critically about what this 'industry' really represents and the immense REAL world political + legal + populist risk involved in what is inherently anti state tech.

[@assholetrading1550]

👀

[@dior88-no9po]

who the hell is blurr? They talk like I'm famous

[@lokeshsoni101]

Hi Taiki @thehumblefarmer Could i email you? I'm afraid i cant quite determine the way to do so via your KZbin channel.
