Rocko makes it easy to borrow against your crypto through top DeFi protocols. This avoids a ton of the risk associated with traditional collateralized loans that caused many competitors in the space to drop out over the past few years.

All collateral is locked transparently in audited protocol smart contracts, funds are secured through a self custodial wallet that only the user has access to, and loans are all denominated in USD with flexible rates determined by the protocol based on supply/demand.

Our vision is to build one marketplace that allows borrowers to the easily access the best rates from any number of protocols, networks, and crypto assets.

We want to make DeFi easy for everyone.

People used to say the same thing about JavaScript, now it runs most of the internet.

No reason EVM can't evolve to be less cumbersome

Stacks is really going off in the wrong direction here.

If they aren't building an EVM compatible chain, they are going to fall quickly behind in the space and never recover

You just fully described cryptocurrency transactions. Crypto having the additional benefit of applying to online transactions as well vs in-person only transactions with cash

They shouldn't have anything to worry about, unless they have something to hide

Alternatively, this could be achieved by an affirmative action on the grantor's side. For example, require a signed transaction from a particular wallet every X months, if no transaction occurs, then trigger the switch

Because the vast majority of people living in earth don't have access to traditional equity markets

We don't need a clearing house at all. A simple blockchain fixes this and provides 100% of the settlement service that this company provides.

If only a public shared ledger was available for these institutions to settle trades on.

People love knocking Bitcoin here, but this is why the technology exists. No reason to continue letting these institutions run smoke-and-mirrors with everyone's money

The reason for this is the fact that large businesses profit from being the middle-man here. Moving towards automated settlement on a blockchain reduces cost and increases efficiency,it's a win-win for everybody except the middle-man

Why would the RIAA have any right to demand the rolling cipher be removed?

This was removed because the machine generated captions have reached near parity with crowdsourced captions. Machine captions can be scaled to caption the entirety of YouTube, something crowdsourcing could never accomplish.

How close is it to this study?

Are folks generally happy with the tablet? I just pre-ordered the new one!

"average age group of the 20 patients" == 60 years old

Is 20 a high enough sample size for any meaningful conclusion from a study like this?

Whats the final determination around the rumors employees were payed for access to their creds?
