Today we have with us the guy who started ENS, an overnight success which needed 5 years of really hard work. My guest and his team of 8 people and a few contributors bootstrapped a multi-billion dollar DAO without any private investors. He goes way back to the early Ethereum foundation times and before that he worked for Google as a Software Engineer. I am sure there isn't any other guy who received more thank yous in the last few weeks and because of that and many other reasons, I am really pumped to have him as our guest at The Stakeborg DAO Talks episode 3.

After the interview, Kain said, "Mate, this was intense". That's the best description for this video where we covered the future of DAO, DeFi, why SBF is fundamentally wrong, and why Ethereum will eat the world.

Vitalik was the first guest we had from the new series - Stakeborg Talks in English. More to come :)
