    This Is Fast Money Like Bitcoin But Better

    In this episode, Keira sits down with Quai Network co‑founder and CEO Alan to unpack how Quai is picking up where Bitcoin left off and rebuilding money from first principles.  Alan explains, in simple language, what a blockchain actually is, why Bitcoin became "digital gold" instead of everyday money, and how Quai's sharded proof‑of‑work design aims to deliver Bitcoin‑level security with Visa‑like speed and throughput.  They dive into Quai's two‑token model, including $Qi, the world's first energy‑linked "flatcoin" that anchors value to electricity rather than the US dollar, and explore why proof‑of‑work is misunderstood, how Quai's Proof of Entropy Minima boosts scalability, and what it means to secure MiCA approval in Europe. The conversation also covers founder lessons from three years in testnet and a year on mainnet, ecosystem bootstrapping, US policy work, and Alan's personal journey from Texas Blockchain and Apple engineer to building a new financial coordination layer. _______________________________________________ Key takeaways:  Quai Network aims to innovate on Bitcoin's limitations.Blockchain is a decentralized ledger that removes trust from money.Bitcoin was created as a response to the 2008 financial crisis.The evolution of blockchain has led to smart contracts and faster systems.Quai addresses the trilemma of decentralization, speed, and security.Proof of work can be scaled effectively with sharding.Tokenomics play a crucial role in the success of a blockchain.Regulatory compliance is essential for growth in the crypto space.Building a community is key to ecosystem development.Real utility in crypto will drive mass adoption._______________________________________________ Guest: X (Alan): https://x.com/0xalank X (Quai Network): https://x.com/QuaiNetwork LinkedIn (Alan):    / alanorwick  Website (Quai Network): https://qu.ai/ Host: X (Keira):  https://x.com/RealMissAI LinkedIn (Keira):   / keira-nesdale-b287899b    X (DealFlow):
