In this episode, RootstockLabs co-founder Diego Gutierrez explains how Bitcoin-backed stablecoins and decentralized financial primitives are enabling real-world adoption, especially in volatile economies like Argentina. He contrasts Rootstock’s vision of a Bitcoin-secured, censorship-resistant financial stack with more centralized systems like Ethereum or Solana. Diego also explores how stablecoins, tokenized assets, and even nation-states may converge on Bitcoin rails, and why institutional adoption must be balanced with sovereignty and trust-minimization.
