This severely impacts the markets that are supported by public blockchains! Constraints on block space are constraints on market participants!</p> <p>David, Ryan, and Nic go through Nic's process is disecting the data that created these conclusions.

Deep conviction on DeFi, but he and his co-founder made bets on communities. He was contrarian yes...but contrarian right.<br /> <br /> Ask him his strategy and he'll simply tell you..."I look at memes all day." But there's hidden brilliance in that phase. Listen as he describes how he invests in the crypto native founders, how he buys culturally composable communities, how the best things start very small. </p> <p>His fund bought SNX when no on believed. They bought LINK when it was worth 18 cents. How? Why?

Why is moneyness and security two sides of the same coin? Why won't transaction fees secure Bitcoin?<br /> <br /> This episode goes from great...to amazing.

<p>Episode: #21<br /> July 13, 2020</p> <p>Ethereum turns 5 on July 30th! That's 5 years of history. Five years of progress. Time enough to change the world?</p> <p>We sit down with Vitalik Buterin and walk through Ethereum's past, present, and future. Has the vision changed? Has ETH earned its price? What about monetary policy? How's Vitalik feeling about the future?</p> <p>Is ETH a triple-point asset?</p> <p>It seems clear that Vitalik believes the Ethereum community is its strongest asset. This band of Athenians isn't just here to vanquish foes, it's here to build a digital civilization for the world. Not burn it down. Build it up. </p> <p>Vitalik believes crypto is standing strong as one of the few remaining things that's genuinely international.
