Sign up for our newsletter at https://Evolvement.io. Evolvement is a podcast hosted by Nye that revolves around Bitcoin, cryptocurrency, blockchain technology, and how these play a role in the current financial models and economic systems of the world. Marco and I sat down to discuss how Decred is changing multiple different aspects of how cryptocurrency projects run. First off, we change a little about what Decred is and how it formed. We also discuss some of the key differences between Decred and Bitcoin, including the halving process, proof of work vs. proof of stake, and much more. As we dive deeper, we discuss the funding model for Decred, which is the thing that interests me the most about it. Because of this funding model, Decred is a special project that has the potential to be around for a long time and have changes made that are only specified by the community.
