For those wondering… 7:32, 7:55, 8:17 and especially 19:50 are definitely not mistakes. I was simply experimenting with some cool new layouts for the show.
YESS!!!!!!!!
I always enjoy these episodes about the overall discussion regarding the meta of 'crypto' and 'web3' as well as enjoying the extra pizazz of reactions from everyone. When do we get a Cascoin coin collectables stream? (editing was fun for this episode)
Comment while I'm watching is that I HATED that "have fun staying poor" and in club speak "we're all gonna make it" comments this crypto cycle. It really should have been my opening eye that the space was WAY overheated.
No criticism accepted, just call the guy criticising the project an idiot and call in your "wagmi club bros" to pile in with talking points from the guy taking your money for a useless token or nft set.
I have always enjoyed listening to both sides of something… I want to know when massive investors created this so I wont buy it. I want to imagine the possible use case and say no thats not for me and why would you want the world to be like that…. Look at NYC taxi tags, those could be a real world NFT, you must own it to compete… and uber killed it because it was terrible and crushed competition.
Am I crazy but I've heard both of the hosts talk about liking cryptocurrencies because they offer some protection against censorship.
Molly and guys, keep up your epic streak of quality, and keep on forcing people to see all these emperor's with no clothes!
Please don't it another Extension of Left Ecosystem.
