🎙️ Kurt Hemecker, CEO of Gold Token S.A. (DGLD)
🕒 ~40 mins
Gold has been trusted for 5,000 years. It has also been completely impossible to use. You can't lend it, fractionalize it, or move it at 2 am. Kurt Hemecker, who helped build the internet's money layer at PayPal and survived the most ambitious monetary experiment in history at Facebook's Libra, thinks blockchain finally fixes that.
In this episode:
- How tokenization makes gold programmable, usable as collateral, and accessible to everyone
- The difference between DGLD and a gold ETF (you actually own the gold)
- How you can redeem DGLD for physical gold starting at one gram, shipped to your door
- Why crypto natives parking funds in stablecoins might be contradicting their own beliefs
- What Libra taught Kurt about building financial infrastructure that governments will actually allow
- How geopolitical instability and dollar debasement are creating the perfect moment for digital gold
If you care about RWAs, the future of money, or what it takes to bring a 5,000-year-old asset into the digital economy, this one's for you.
