In this episode of The Unstoppable Podcast, we’re talking to Jack Niewold. Jack founded Crypto Pragmatist, an email newsletter focusing on the assets and narratives shaping the cryptocurrency space.

Jack tells us what topics people are typically looking to learn more about in crypto, and we dive into what DeFi means and why it’s so important. Will we eventually reach a point where everyone in the world can participate in a financial system of some kind?

Jack explains the concept of Total Value Locked and what it means for crypto tokens. We talk about the blockchain trilemma and what it’s all about, and the importance of decentralization as blockchains continue to scale.

We talk about L2s, and Jack tells us which ones he’s most excited about. We also cover stablecoins and the value they provide to crypto as a whole, along with some interesting examples right now. Finally, Jack talks about some of the creators and projects he likes the most, and what the future holds.
