What's up, everyone? This is Anthony Pompliano. Most of you know me as Pomp. You're listening to Off the Chain, simply the best podcasting crypto. Let's kick this thing off.

Jake Yocom Paiet is the project lead for Decred. In this conversation, we discuss how he was early in Bitcoin, why he stepped away, how DECRE works,

how different people in the DECRE ecosystem make money, why experts shouldn't be deferred to,

and why managing ego is so important in the cryptocurrency industry. I really enjoyed this

conversation, and I hope you do as well.

All right, guys, I'm here with Jake Bang Bang.

Thank you so much for taking time to do this.

I'm super excited to help people

who understand more about Decredit, what you guys are building. Oh, thanks for having me, Anthony.

It's great to be here. And it's, you know, it's always a pleasure to speak to new people about

blockchain technology and in particular decrem.

Sure.

So I think you've got kind of an interesting background for somebody who's working on a non-Bitcoin project.

Let's kind of go through your background a little bit so people understand the context and perspective that you're coming at this from.

For sure.

Maybe it's an overview.

Yeah, yeah.
