The Curious Learners
I feel privileged to speak to so many great minds as part of my job. They are passionate builders, insightful investors, laser-focused leaders. They are all curious learners in their own way. It is their urge to learn more. That urge is curiosity. When I speak to these people, I hear fascinating ideas, solid business plans, genius growth hacking practices, relentless team building focus, unique investing strategies and many others. However, most of the time, key insights, business intelligence and inspiring stories shared in these conversations do not make their way to the outside world. The Curious Learners is an attempt to share the stories of those curious learners with those, who might find the inspiration that they were looking for or those who might get the encouragement for their own journey that they already started. Looking forward to a long journey together.

My guest today is Sinan Koc. He is a co-founder of BiLira, which is a stablecoin pegged to Turkish Lira.
I truly enjoyed speaking with him. We discussed the following and many more interesting topics:
- why do we need stablecoins? Now and in the future?
- do stablecoins remain as a gateway between fiat and crypto?
- is there a bifurcation for the use of stablecoins between emerging markets and developed markets?
- what are the two most important KPIs for a stablecoin business?
- how did he combine his previous experience in building a traditional fintech business with his time at Consensys?
- which blockchain is the most promising in his personal view?
Please enjoy my conversation with Sinan Koc.
