This episode of the #citizenweb3 podcast features David Blackstone from Symphony

David Blackstone, founder of Symphony, critiques the influence of governments and corporations on censorship, business decisions, and economic policies, including excessive money printing and bailouts like those for Silicon Valley. He advocates for decentralization of the ledger as a solution to these issues.

Symphony, built on Cosmos, offers a crypto-native solution for trading real-world assets like real estate and gold, without relying on traditional banking. Its open-source documentation covers the Symphony tech stack, advanced use cases, and encourages community contributions via GitHub.
