Bush with all of his campaign promises about ending foreign intervention, and not going around starting new wars in order to enrich the military industrial complex’s cronies. After the September the eleventh attacks, he forgot about that and started a terror war that is still being waged today. "I decided in July of 2017 to start this podcast. I had thoughts and fee

What exactly is DeFi, and what does it mean for the future of crypto? Edge CEO Paul Puey joins Tatiana Moroz and special guest Co-Host Amber Urquhart to talk all about it!
