Another excellent job keep doing it:)!

Great job Farid getting an interview with the CEO of Meld. When I first heard about this de-fi project and what they wanted to achieve I really wanted to invest in them. I feel excited about 2023 and what Meld might achieve. Keep up the great work Farid.

[naheemjalil]

Nice job you covered a lot of stuff there

[leroyessel]

The mention of Crypto to Cash Debit Cards will benefit the 1, 000 plus projects building upon Cardano.

[damyching]

Is it too late to claim the meld diamond hand NFT? - I was in the ispo but I am guessing the time to claim has passed? ty

[aubreyrobin]

Binance BAS system integration would be nice too. It's same concept with Subnet

[necheoncooney]

You are a great interviewer! I have been rocking with Meld since the beginning. I greatly appreciate the quality and hardwork you but into your craft. Keep rocking, king!

[corycaschman]

Thanks for the information. Maybe I missed it. Did he give an estimate how long he thinks the Testnet will be? In other words, how long until the Mainnet release?

[michaelforte]

Great interview, concise & to the point on each of the segments discussed. Process that Meld is following under Ken’s guidance & the current direction of multi chain non - maxi attitude will be hugely popular in time!
Feel fortunate to be watching Meld develop from ISPO !

[caresword]

great interview. you are definatly going to explode in the next bull run.
quick tip. i felt he had more he wanted to say but didnt want to interrupt you, i would suggest for you to ask a more open ended question in and let them speak and get their thoughts out. and just sit back and listen to their interesting point of view.

[ada-boy]

Meld is doing everything correctly I see integrity and principle.

[ada-boy]

"Making the testnet friendly" such attention to detail!

[_rideyourpath]

Such a great interview!
Can't wait to see what both you and MELD will accomplish in the coming year 🔥

[velcapitan]

Interesting. Not sure how I view Meld. They're already announcing bridges and blockchains before they offer anything of value to investors on Cardano. I think it's a good idea to just hold ADA until some of these projects prove their worth.
