Changelly's team is putting on the first edition of a new live debate format, the DeFi Build It or Kill It Show, on Telegram this month. John Adam Khandjian of Changelly and Web3 advisor Aram Mughalyan are confirmed for the opening lineup, with additional speakers yet to be announced.
The format pairs DeFi advocates against DeFi skeptics in front of a live audience, with a Q&A built in. The framing is deliberately combative: hot takes and tough questions rather than slide decks.
Why it matters
Live, audience-driven debate shows are a small but growing slice of crypto-native media, sitting somewhere between a Twitter Space and a conference panel. The format gives sponsors access to engaged communities without the polished whitepaper cadence most crypto events default to.
Changelly is a long-standing fiat-to-crypto exchange and swap aggregator, and the move into event programming is part of a broader push by exchange and infra brands to own community channels directly rather than rent attention from external publishers.
