For Lopp, it’s a “billion-dollar question” and a matter of constant work and improvement.Listen to Ben, Anna and Danny talk to Lopp about his views on the challenges of bitcoin adoption, the quality of the DeFi projects he’s involved in and the most exciting project he is working on now.Jameson Lopp’s Twitter handle: @lopp -Unique One Network is an interoperable Platform for DeFi enabled NFT Marketplaces, in a variety of sectors, built on Polkadot Parity Substrate.
