Brendon Sedo, an early contributor to Core, explains how Bitcoin is evolving beyond a simple store of value through new infrastructure that enables staking, yield, and DeFi functionality. Core allows Bitcoin holders to earn yield without giving up custody, while also enabling more advanced use cases like lending and borrowing through a Bitcoin-secured network. The conversation highlights a major shift toward institutional adoption, with funds, custodians, and ETF providers exploring ways to generate yield on Bitcoin. Ultimately, the episode emphasizes that while markets are volatile short term, long-term crypto fundamentals remain strong, and innovation is expanding Bitcoin’s utility.
