This week we start things of by re-evaluating the Ross Ulbricht story after news came out that his murder-for-hire charges are being dropped. This is a story we have discussed before on the podcast, but with new information, the guys shift their stances. We also discuss FOMO 3D and Karim takes us off topic for some out of this world news… we found liquid water on mars! Facebook allows Coinbase ads again, a new site tracks “cryptocurrency experts” predictions, the G20 weighs in on crypto, and someone in China uses blockchain to circumvent censorship.

These guy may be a bunch of crypto amateurs, but this week they’re kicking the expertise up a notch! We’re breaking down Game Theory today, and who better than a trio of professional poker player to explain this concept? Well… probably a lot of people, but you’re stuck with us ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ What is Game Theory and how can we apply it to our life? We kick off with a history lesson about how the field came to be and then get more hands on as we explore concepts like the prisoner’s dilemma, the tragedy of the commons, talk meta, and more. Oh and Brent makes us play a game!
