Episode 22 — Making Sense of Ethereum

In this deep-dive episode we untangle the tech, promise, and pitfalls of Ethereum—the programmable blockchain that powers smart contracts, DeFi, and the NFT boom. You’ll learn how Ethereum’s vision goes far beyond Bitcoin’s digital-cash roots, why its switch to Proof-of-Stake matters for energy efficiency, and where the platform still struggles with congestion, security, and regulation. We also look ahead to life after the Merge and the roadmap of upgrades designed to make Ethereum faster, cheaper, and more secure for the next wave of decentralized apps.
