In this episode, Tim and Marcus are joined by Ramiro from Strata for a conversation that starts with Argentina, inflation and stablecoins, and ends up somewhere much bigger: what crypto looks like when it is solving real problems, not just being traded.  Ramiro explains how growing up around broken monetary systems shaped his view of Bitcoin, private money and why stablecoins make immediate sense in places where local currency does not. From there, the conversation moves into DeFi, structured risk and what Strata is building on-chain.  Also in this episode:Why crypto feels very different in countries where money does not work properlyHow stablecoins are used in places like Argentina, Bolivia and beyondWhy private money becomes attractive when the public system breaks downWhat Strata is building and how senior and junior tranches work on-chainWhy DeFi yield is often misunderstood as “free” when risk still sits underneath itWhether crypto is maturing from simple yield products into real financial infrastructureWhy conferences matter so much in a remote, globally distributed industryThe overlap between crypto, risk, structured finance and real-world use cases Subscribe for new episodes every week: @TheLocalWMC Also on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever else you get your fix. Follow us on X: https://x.com/TheLocalWMC
