Debating the MakerDAO Endgame | Vance Spencer, Mark Phillips, and Hasu

Bell Curve

In today's interview Sam and Brick are joined by Vance, Mark, and Hasu. Together they dive into MakerDAO's endgame. They discuss the current state of MakerDAO, including the DAI stablecoin and RWA adoption. The conversation then shifts to the bull case for Maker, with a focus on the new subDAO structure and how it aims to drive demand for the Maker token through a flywheel effect involving token farming incentives. The guests also debate the challenges MakerDAO faces in igniting organic demand for DAI and finding product-market fit between more centralized stablecoins like USDC. Stick around for all of this and much more!
