Show notes

On today's episode, Mark sits down in person with Rozar -- a Bitcoin DeFi builder who has led everything from free and permission-less liquidity pools to 9 digit meme coins all built on Bitcoin.

When I first met Rozar, he was the charismatic community leader of the one of the biggest memecoins on Bitcoin -- $Welsh attracting thousands of passionate investors who ran the market cap over $100m.

Since then, he's also been working on Charisma.rocks, a Bitcoin native DEX that quickly became one of the top exchanges on the network, competing with teams often 10 times larger and better funded.
