Episode: #19 June 29, 2020

Hasu is a free-thinker. A truth seeker. A rare voice in crypto. He's not afraid to push back on tribal dogma. He breaks rank with Bitcoiners on some topics and Ethereans on others. Yet he still considers himself a member of both tribes and respects the mysticism (and even dogma) of these deeply social systems.

In the spirit of Satoshi he's pseudonymous. We don't know his actual identity. But we know who he is from his body of writing that has influenced our thinking on many crypto topics. 

What does he think about Ethereum?

About crypto banks? 

About DeFi? 

We covered it all:

• Hasu's fave writers
• Body and Spirit of crypto networks
• Is Hasu an Etherean?
• Why Bitcoin might not survive
• How Maker is like a central bank
• Is EIP1559 bullish for ETH?
• The best Rick & Morty episode

Join us next Monday for a fresh episode!

Episode: #17 June 15, 2020

An alien visits earth. He sees our cities, our governments, our moral codes. He's curious, "What's are you trying to do here?" he asks the humans. 

The humans respond: "We're trying to get coordinated".

Coordination is how humanity rose above the animals. Built the pyramids. Put a man on the moon.

We've coordinated as hunter-gather societies in tribes. As agrarian societies in kingdoms. As industrial societies in nation states.

And now...as information societies in digital nations like Ethereum and Bitcoin. This. Changes. Everything. 

Covered:

• • Uh...why are we here? What's the point?
  • A nation is more than a nation state!
  • The thing that makes humans special
  • Getting past Dunbar's number
  • The rise & limits of nation states
  • The next evolution of the nation
  • How you become a citizen of Ethereum

Join us next Monday for a fresh episode!
