Future-Proof Crypto: Why Decred Is Built Different (And Built to Last)

Welcome to "Decred and the State of the Market," brought to you by Exitus and PhoenixGreen. In this episode, we’ll dive into Decred's strategic positioning and long-term vision, exploring the innovative thinking and development philosophy that has shaped this unique cryptocurrency project.

## Livestream Agenda:

* Stablecoin summer

* Biggest leak ever: 16B logins & passwords exposed - https://x.com/VivvekShukla/status/1935762735813283999

* Dave C on why Decred - https://x.com/realdavecgh/status/1930497471613940185

## Discussion Q&A:

* a fair launch, community-driven development and innovation, treasury for development (10% of miners rewards)

* A Fair launch vs Tail emission

* Low PoW miner rewards risk reducing network security...

* PoS ticket voting and Politeia governance favours wealthier and more active stakeholders

* Limited mobile functionality

* Privacy features are limited compared to dedicated privacy coins ( Considerations: inflation prevention, ease in changing the cryptographic primitives, and long-term pruning)

* Contributors and community face barriers due to the complexity of the protocol

* the hybrid consensus POW / POS just makes everything super complicated and potentially vulnerable to hacks and bugs
