In this episode of Creating a Humanist Blockchain Future (Patreon, Soundcloud, Youtube, iTunes) I interview Vignesh Sundaresan, a co-founder of Lendroid, a decentralized margin trading platform built on Ethereum. We chat about risk, building on the 0x ecosystem, and Vignesh’s basic income experiments as an example of giving back through the CryptoPledge. Enjoy, and as always, let me know if you have any feedback!

Note that Lendroid (along with 0x, Dharma, Set, and Radar) will all be at ETHDenver Feb 16–18, a hackathon I’m co-organizing! Also if you’re interested in the CryptoPledge or working with me in the Ethereum ecosystem, see: Co-evolving the Phase Shift to Crypto Capitalism by Founding The Ethereum Commons Co-op and reach out!

If you’re interested in more on the 0x ecosystem, check out my interview #23 Nadav Hollander, Dharma Protocol: The Decentralized 0x Financial Stack + How YC Helps Crypto Startups.

About Me: My name is Rhys Lindmark and I’m a social entrepreneur. I’m Creating a Humanist Blockchain Future by: a) Empowering the Colorado Blockchain community (check out our ETHDenver hackathon!), b) Developing the Ethereum Commons Co-op and c) Hosting a systems podcast with experts. I’m an alumnus of Techstars Boulder 2015 (Edify). Please reach out if you’d like to connect or have feedback! I’m curious about what you’re working on. You can support me on Patreon, follow me on Twitter, or connect on LinkedIn.

Disclaimer: I own less than $1000 of any given cryptocurrency, so my monetary incentive is not too aligned with Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc. :)
