In this episode I spoke to David Z Morris, Chief Insights columnist at Coindesk who wrote a really nice book review of Block Radicals and creator of the Crypto Crooks podcast. David's been following the crypto space since near the beginning when he reported on the gold bug community's interest in bitcoin a decade ago. He is also the author of a book called Bitcoin is Magic.

During the discussion we talk about how the crypto space has evolved with the rise of venture capital, the insanity of the last crypto bubble, and socialist finance. One of the main things we conclude is that most of these big finance and VC think boi influencers are not nearly as smart as people think. In fact, if you're a listener of the podcast, you're probably smarter than them and less detached from reality.

Big thank you to Dallas Taylor for helping edit this episode!

ICYMI I've written a book about, no surprise, blockchains through a left political framework! The title is Blockchain Radicals: How Capitalism Ruined Crypto and How to Fix It and is being published through Repeater Books, the publishing house started by Mark Fisher who’s work influenced me a lot in my thinking.
