We dive deep into why UX is the final frontier for mass adoption, the risks of "yield chasing," and how the new BOB Liquidation Engine makes native Bitcoin lending possible on Ethereum’s deepest markets.*Connect with BOB:*🌐 Website: https://gobob.xyx🐦 Twitter: https://x.com/build_on_bob *Timestamps:** *00:45* – What is BOB?

We’re building the banking infrastructure for BTC to unlock more utility for the most important asset of our generation.""Crypto has overcompensated. We went from banks where you have no idea what’s going on, to a ‘let’s show the user everything’ approach. Most people don’t have the time to understand; they just want it to work.""There is a parallel to people who keep cash at home under the pillow because they don’t trust the bank. Not everybody wants to keep cash at home. We need to allow people to still be in control, but in a way where they feel safe and it’s easy to use.""BitVM is the Holy Grail of Bitcoin DeFi. It’s the evolution of MPC. We’re moving to a world where your Bitcoin is programmatically secured on the L1, but you can still use it in the fastest DeFi markets."*Support the Show:*🔔 Subscribe for more BitcoinYield insights!https://www.bitcoinyield.com/#newsletter 💬 Comment below: Would you trust a "Bitcoin Bank" if it was trust-minimized?
