    Episode 2 - CJ Konstantinos, founder of People’s Reserve

    Bitcoin as Pristine Collateral, Stablecoins, and the Future of Finance In Episode 2 of the Stablecoin Solutions Podcast, I sit down with CJ Konstantinos, founder of People’s Reserve, for a wide-ranging and deeply technical conversation on where Bitcoin, stablecoins, and traditional banking are headed. CJ is a longtime Bitcoiner with a background in accounting and finance, and he brings a rare ability to bridge traditional financial systems with Bitcoin-native thinking. We unpack why Bitcoin is emerging as pristine collateral, how stablecoins are quietly dismantling fractional-reserve banking, and why banks that fail to adapt may not survive the next decade. This episode goes far beyond price action. We dive into collateral theory, DeFi vs. TradFi, the GENIUS Act, stablecoin regulation, and even a preview of a revolutionary Bitcoin-backed mortgage insurance model that could reshape housing affordability.
