Episode Overview

In this episode of Token for Your Thoughts, host Lindsey McConaghy sits down with Anthony Anzalone, aka Burnt Banksy, the founder of XION, a blockchain built to make crypto so seamless, it practically disappears.

Anthony takes us on a wild ride from his early days in crypto - mining Ethereum in his NYU dorm, and launching an NFT marketplace - to building XION, a blockchain designed to make crypto frictionless.

If you’re a Web3 founder, builder, or investor, this one’s for you. We dive into the realities of designing crypto infrastructure that feels as effortless as Web2, the unexpected ways blockchain is being used (like getting paid to switch ride-share apps), and what it really takes to bring crypto to the masses.
