I watch all your shows, I greatly respect you, and I believe you do a great job. That said, I think the partisanship you sometimes show, like not discussing Chainlink (probably due to the clashes David had with the Link Marines) and instead putting Layer Zero on a pedestal, greatly diminishes your credibility. I believe if you change this aspect, you could easily become the best podcast in the sector. Hugs.
