Following Alexander's post comparing the differences between Ethereum's Serenity with Near Protocol, we decided to dive into the platform with the founders (Alexander Skidanov and Illia Polosukhin). The Near Protocol is a new project, and one of our goals is to find these projects first and educate our listeners on them. 

We discuss Ethereum’s plan forSerenity (Sharding and Casper), why the Near team believes this release is not a 2020 event but likely 5 years or more away and why the Near Protocol can win first.

We are all well aware of the wide array of Ethereum competitors that have come and gone, and the competition from other public chains like Tezos, EOS, etc. Although, having these conversations are invaluable since 1) you learn the criticisms of the major platforms from outside teams, 2) You could potentially find the next big idea and 3) you keep an open mind on other ways to build these projects.

With all of the media's attention on Ripple, Wietse Wind joins Tom Shaughnessy to discuss building on XRP (the cryptocurrency) beyond Ripple (the company)

Wietse has significant experience here as he has built the XRPTipBot which allows users of social media sites (Twitter) to send XRP while staying on the site. So far the tipbot has handled $50K in volume and the site has had 30k+ unique visitors.

Ripple and XRP are not without their red flags, as we have discussed, but this conversation is meant to be an unbiased conversation on building on XRP outside of Ripple the company.
