Today I am speaking with Jeroen Develter, Chief Operating Officer at Persistence Labs. Jeroen’s journey into web3 spans traditional finance, consulting, and an entrepreneurial leap into the world of crypto and blockchain. Originally from Belgium, he built a global career that took him from working with major banks in Paris to founding a startup in Singapore. His diverse background provides a unique perspective on the emerging Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem, a narrative that seems to grow more and more each day.
At Persistence Labs, Jeroen is working on pioneering solutions aimed at expanding the utility of Bitcoin through interoperable layer-two networks and innovative DeFi applications. During our conversation, Jeroen shares insights into his vision for a productive Bitcoin economy, the challenges of scaling Bitcoin's infrastructure, and why he believes Bitcoin DeFi could outpace Ethereum’s DeFi ecosystem.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
