In this episode of the DeFi Podcast, we sit down with Excel Baller (@ExcelBaller), creator of Satly - the revolutionary Bitcoin L1 built on Avalanche that makes sending Bitcoin as easy as sending an email.

Excel reveals how Satly is solving Bitcoin's biggest UX problems by enabling users to email Bitcoin like Venmo, without wallets, seed phrases, or 30-minute confirmation waits. Just type an email address, send Bitcoin, and the recipient gets it instantly with a simple click to claim.

We explore why Lightning Network hasn't achieved mass adoption, how Satly's native BTC gas token works on Avalanche, and Excel's vision for making Bitcoin accessible to everyone - including grandmothers who just want to send their grandsons birthday money.

The conversation also dives into Bitcoin's 290% outperformance vs Ethereum's 35%, the $500M locked in Avalanche's Bitcoin bridge showing real demand, and why Bitcoin's disciplined "store of value" narrative is winning over institutional adoption.

Key Topics:

🔸 Satly's email-based Bitcoin payment system on Avalanche L1

🔸 Why Lightning Network UX fails for mainstream adoption

🔸 Native BTC gas token and instant settlement technology

🔸 Bitcoin vs Ethereum performance analysis (290% vs 35%)

🔸 MicroStrategy's distressed company pivot to Bitcoin treasury

🔸 The future of Bitcoin DeFi and institutional yield strategies

🔸 Why Bitcoin's "money" narrative beats all other crypto pitches

In this episode of the DeFi Podcast, we sit down with Anar and Nikolai, co-founders of CX Chain, to explore their purpose-built gaming L1 on Avalanche that's democratizing liquidity for on-chain gaming.

The CX Chain team explains how traditional web2 casinos systematically disadvantage players through non-transparent random number generation and liquidity manipulation. They demonstrate how Avalanche's breakthrough VRF technology enables sub-millisecond random number generation, making truly fair gambling possible for the first time.

We dive deep into their vision for a "Pump.fun for casino games" where developers can easily launch gambling applications using shared liquidity pools, and how their family background in traditional casinos gives them unique insights into player psychology and game mechanics.

Key Topics:

🔺 Why traditional casino randomness can't be trusted

🔺 How Avalanche's VRF technology solves speed and cost problems

🔺 The CX Chain liquidity model and validator economics

🔺 Building a community-driven game development platform

🔺 Node sale details and tokenomics
