In this week's analyst table, Dan and Sam are joined by Blockworks Research Analysts Ren and Pibblez to discuss Bitcoin's recent dominance and price gains, upcoming Polkadot token unlocks, Scroll's mainnet launch, and Circle's Gas Station product launch. They also cover governance changes like Atom's inflation rate proposal, Polygon's migration to POL, and debates around Uniswap's controversial interface fee. The group also analyzes Celestia's token airdrop, the L1 vs L2 landscape, and the need for real-world crypto adoption beyond speculation. Thanks for tuning in!
