Lost in Tech

The Land of Crypto


Listen Later

People in crypto are really, really sad right now — and Lola thinks that might be the best thing that's happened to the industry.


Mamuna gets a guided tour of the land of crypto from someone four years deep in building its infrastructure: what actually happened on 1010 (the day 60% of the market vanished), why the whales sold bitcoin to buy space and Anthropic, and why it's easier to do real work when nobody's speculating on it.


Plus: the $100 transfer that arrives as $75 a week later, the reconciliation mess behind every wire transfer, who the blockchain industry is desperate to hire, and why you can't trust AI unless a blockchain can verify how it knew what it knew.
