Dag is a senior engineer with a background in machine learning and distributed systems from Silicon Valley. He Co-Founded Moremoney Finance to build innovative products in the DeFi space and to unleash “the power of the stablecoin.” In this episode, we discuss what Dag is currently most excited by related to Moremoney and to the MONEY stablecoin.
Dag will likely make recurring appearances on the show. We will initially discuss Moremoney projects to provide context, but plan to move beyond this and discuss many topics in the DeFi/Crypto landscape. Dag’s background and excellence as a senior engineer makes him an ideal guest to the podcast - and we expect many deep insights to come from these conversations.
