On today's podcast we interview Scott Gray, head of business development of Dev Protocol! We get an inside look of the economics of tokenizing open source software. With Dev Protocol, any developer can generate 10 million tokens as a way to capture and distribute value to their own community of supporters. Supporters can stake Dev tokens to support the development of different projects in order to participate and support a project so that devs can focus on their project. Supporters who stake mint new Dev tokens that are split between the staker and the project they stake with. We also discuss anonymous development and the chances of it becoming a more common and sustainable way to develop projects. Scott also gives his outlook of the long term application of Bitcoin.
Topics:
- First up, We get an inside look at the economics of supporting the entire development community.
- Next, Learn How to Generate Dev and Support your Favorite Projects
- Then, Scott discusses how anonymous development is the future.

Since the announcement from Tesla on purchasing $1.5 billion worth of Bitcoin, Iman and William have been discussing the potential snowball effect. What could the United States government do if a large portion of business start allocating a percentage of their reserves for Bitcoin? With Oracle, Apple, and Google likely on their way to make their announcements, the U.S. Government could pull the plug to slow the growth of this new asset. Maybe they understand the potential and decide to encourage development state side and have relaxed regulation. Tune in to see where you stand in this debate.

1. First up, Tesla Buys $1.5 Billion in Bitcoin
