Building Blockchain Without Speculation

In today’s episode, I sit down with Michael Bitonti, CEO of Get Liquid.io, to talk about building real world asset backed lending the disciplined way. We unpack why institutional grade compliance matters, how fractionalized debt creates stability where equity often adds volatility, and what it takes to bridge traditional finance with blockchain without sacrificing trust. Michael shares why he chose infrastructure over speculation, licenses over hype, and communication over shortcuts. We also get into faith, leadership, and accountability as operating principles, plus how a compliance first mindset opens the door to broader participation while protecting the foundation.
