Crypto Altruists: Real-World Stories of Social & Environmental Impact with Web3

In this episode, we discuss a term that gets used a lot in the web3 space, and that of course is DeFi, or Decentralized Finance. Specifically, we explore, if, indeed, DeFi can be a solution to the crisis of the unbanked, and bring greater financial inclusion to everyone. According to the latest report from the World Bank, there are nearly 1.7 billion people around the world that are unbanked. Being unbanked, in essence, means that one does not have access to or use banks or traditional financial services. Individuals who are unbanked typically live in extremely poor and rural regions, lack basic financial and telecommunications infrastructure, and lack necessary identification to open a bank account.Being unbanked can put individuals and communities at a disadvantage, as it may prevent them from fully engaging with the economy, being able to take out a loan or purchase a house, or being unable to get insurance, among many other challenges.Cryptocurrency, and more specifically, Decentralized Finance (or DeFi), has been put forward as a potential remedy to this challenge. DeFi, in short, is a catch-all term for decentralized, blockchain-based services that enable basic financial transactions, such as the earning of interest, borrowing of money, storing of cash, and purchasing of insurance. In this episode, I highlight three reasons, among many, that DeFi and crypto are well suited to help overcome the crisis of the Unbanked, and share a few examples of exciting DeFi projects.Projects Discussed:Bloinx by BX Smart LabsSatchelKotani PayEtheriscLeaf Global FinTechBuy us a coffee!Enjoy the episode?

In this episode, we are joined today by Tim Stirrup from Angel Protocol, an organization empowering charities to take advantage of decentralized financial products to improve their fundraising and their impact. We discuss the future of philanthropy, and how DeFi is flipping the traditional philanthropic sector on its head. Tim is the Chief Marketing Officer of Angel Protocol. Before his time with Angel Protocol, he had a long career in education, educational technology and edtech investments, with a focus on marketing and communication. As many do, he drifted into crypto as an extension of his investing in the stock market, and was intrigued by some of the mathematics behind it, and in 2017 made his first purchase of Bitcoin. From here he began engaging with the Terra Ecosystem, and in the Spring of 2021, saw a tweet from Chauncy St John, now Founder of Angel Protocol, asking anyone interested in using the Terra blockchain for charity to send him a DM. Well, as you may have guessed, Tim did send him a DM, and here we are today.About Angel ProtocolAngel Protocol has the mission of creating sustainable income streams for charities. Less than 60% of charities have enough saved in their reserves to cover more than one year of operating costs. Angel Protocol plays a critical role in solving this challenge.Endowments are a powerful tool that charities use to grow their donations. However, traditional endowments can be expensive to set up, access, and maintain. Angel Protocol has developed a platform providing easy access to low-risk, high-yield endowments that provide charities financial freedom. Donors give once, and give forever.Follow Angel Protocol and learn moreWebsiteTwitterDiscordTelegramTim’s TwitterEpisode Time Stamps01:40 - What was your “Ah hah” moment that got you interested in cryptocurrency and web3?04:55 - I’ve always believed that, from my experience, the crypto community is incredibly charitable.
