    No More Custodial Bitcoin - The Future of BitVM Banking with Alexei Zamyatin - Co-Founder of BOB

    Subscribe to the BitcoinYield newsletter. Insights delivered weekly to your inbox.https://www.bitcoinyield.com/#newsletter Is this the "Revolut moment" for Bitcoin? 🚀 In this episode, Jacob Brown sits down with Alexei Zamyatin, co-founder of BOB (Build on Bitcoin), to discuss the future of Bitcoin banking, native yield, and the breakthrough tech behind BitVM.While the "Maxi" path has always been pure self-custody, BOB is building the infrastructure to make BTC as usable as a modern neo-bank without sacrificing security. We dive deep into why UX is the final frontier for mass adoption, the risks of "yield chasing," and how the new BOB Liquidation Engine makes native Bitcoin lending possible on Ethereum’s deepest markets.*Connect with BOB:*🌐 Website: https://gobob.xyx🐦 Twitter: https://x.com/build_on_bob *Timestamps:** *00:45* – What is BOB? Building the "Revolut" for Bitcoin* *02:36* – The CDeFi Narrative: Why Bitcoin needs a Web2 front-end* *04:30* – The "Purity Test" vs. Mass Adoption: Do users care about the tech?* *07:20* – Solving the UX problem: From Ledgers to Social Recovery* *09:40* – Transparency vs. Simplicity: The design philosophy of BOB* *12:20* – What Bitcoiners actually want: Equity & Yield* *15:50* – Breaking down Vaults: The middleware of Bitcoin yield* *18:50* – The Curator Model: Who is managing your BTC?* *24:38* – Current Yield Strategies: LSTs, Babylon, and Basis Trading* *34:20* – BitVM & Native Lending: The "Holy Grail" of BTC DeFi* *38:00* – The Problem with BitVM: Why it’s too slow for DeFi* *42:30* – Inside the BOB Liquidation Engine: Making liquidations atomic* *48:50* – Roadmap: When will BitVM go live on Mainnet?### Golden Quotes:"We’re trying to do with Bitcoin what Revolut did for fiat. We’re building the banking infrastructure for BTC to unlock more utility for the most important asset of our generation.""Crypto has overcompensated. We went from banks where you have no idea what’s going on, to a ‘let’s show the user everything’ approach. Most people don’t have the time to understand; they just want it to work.""There is a parallel to people who keep cash at home under the pillow because they don’t trust the bank. Not everybody wants to keep cash at home. We need to allow people to still be in control, but in a way where they feel safe and it’s easy to use.""BitVM is the Holy Grail of Bitcoin DeFi. It’s the evolution of MPC. We’re moving to a world where your Bitcoin is programmatically secured on the L1, but you can still use it in the fastest DeFi markets."*Support the Show:*🔔 Subscribe for more BitcoinYield insights!https://www.bitcoinyield.com/#newsletter 💬 Comment below: Would you trust a "Bitcoin Bank" if it was trust-minimized?
