ReSource Finance: Building Bridges to New Monetary Systems

The Blockchain Socialist

In this episode I spoke with Ashley Buck, the founder of ReSource Finance and was also the first employee of Consensys. ReSource Finance is a decentralized mutual credit protocol and ecosystem building more regenerative economies by enabling growth without capital.
ReSource is innovative in the mutual credit space because it adds a built in system for managing risk in the case of a default. During the discussion we spoke about her experience in the early crypto community, how ReSource manages risk, and building bridges to new systems.
