In this week’s episode, we discuss where Ethereum heads after The Merge, on the back of Vitalik announcing it will still only be 55% done. We touch on an important new crypto bill that was passed in the US. We’ll also spend some time talking about the Metaverse where Zuckerberg & Neil DeGrasse Tyson awkwardly fist-bump. There’s a Gamestop development to discuss as well and we have a laugh about Elon Musk having paper-hands as Tesla sells their Bitcoin. We wrap up with an incredibly interesting story (perhaps it's a future movie?) about a lost fortune, robot dogs and dumpster diving.
