Crypto is the wild west. And if you haven't been paying attention you best start. There is A LOT going on and it's my belief crypto is still the most overlooked innovation. In this show I'll riff on the epic true-but-feels-like-science-fiction story of how HIVE forked from the STEEM blockchain after a hostile takeover by Justin Sun. I recently interviewed "themarkymark", top contributor on HIVE and formerly on STEEM, about how all this unfolded. I'm also riffing on reddit's cryptocurrency plans, Coinbase Wallet interest rate updates, Goldman Sachs' upcoming Bitcoin webinar, why the FBI's warrantless access to your browsing history is a moot point (they already have everything, only encryption can save us), Chris Dixon's legendary and accessible talk on Crypto Networks and Why they Matter, and if time close with a riff on why life is hard (because good exists).
