William and Iman break down some of the questions David Marcus from Calibra received from Senator at the hearing.

On this journey, we look into as many cryptocurrencies as we can and this time we land on MakerDAO and decentralized loans. Finally, tokenizing real world assets can become then next new phase of blockchain with a spirited debate on the real value of gold.
