Excellent interview with Hugo Philion (CEO of Flare) - "We've got a property company coming (to Flare)"

[Seoulite]

Excellent interview with Hugo Philion in which he discusses many aspects of DeFi, including NFTs, lending, gaming, possible regulation of DeFi, how and why normal people might begin to use DeFi, and hints at some upcoming applications already being built on Flare.

A few key moments:

- "We are aiming to go live in June"

- F-assets will not go live immediately, they want to wait for the volatility around FLR to calm down first

- "We will not be saying what we are building until it's delivered."

- "One of the things that has really surprised us has been the speed with which people have decided to adopt Flare and decided to build on it. [...] We've already got five or six applications building [...] We've got Flare Finance, we've got Trustline, we've got Gala, we've got a property company coming, several other applications that we haven't announced which are really, really exciting..."

- "Is Flare an Ethereum killer? No it is not. It's a bringer of the other 65% of value to play."

- "The airdrop to XRP generated, we estimate, close to a million people who will in some way participate on Flare."

- "Flare is a superset of the underlying networks"

- "Where do you see crypto in the future? (Ten years in the future I think crypto) will be endemic, and a core way that we transfer value"

- "If you could change one thing about our industry what would it be? Hype."

Just finished the interview with Hugo Philion and my key take aways are:

"Is Flare an Ethereum killer? No it is not. It's a bringer of the other 65% of value to play." & "Flare is a superset of the underlying networks"
