In this episode, John talks with Dhruv Bansal, Co-Founder and CSO of Unchained Capital. Unchained Capital is a crypto secured loan provider. During the episode Dhruv said “You can't control volatility but you can trade it back and forth with their borrowers” which is what makes the whole system work. During the interview Dhruv shared an amazing period of time during Unchained Capital's life. Bitcoin had a 70% draw-down from December 2017 until March 2018 and Unchained Capital had to margin call 90% of their loans but not a single borrower defaulted. He went on to explain why and it was very interesting.
