This Thursday, I am releasing a 3H conversation with @gavofyork , the CoFounder of Ethereum and Founder of @Polkadot I flew all the way from Singapore to Lisbon with my friend @0xtp91 to record what I think is my best podcast ever recorded on WSH. Why is it the best WSH podcast ever (so far)? Because of a mix of things we nailed on this one: the studio we tailor made just for this conversation in the outskirt of Lisbon, the level of attention to detail on how the background looks like, the production quality (images, trailer, pictures), the preparation I put into this (I usually spend hours prepping for each pod, this one I easily spent 3x that time), the flow of the conversation, the topics, the guest (obviously), and last but not least, the fact that it was near perfection despite me being ill with a strong flu (something that even I couldn’t notice when I rewatched the conversation afterwards) Here are just a few of the topics we covered: - Self Sovereignty - Network States vs Nation States - How to make network founders work with one another instead of competing? - The Evolution of Governance - Is OpenGOV a success so far? - Why Networks should not have charismatic founders - Polkadot Parachains and their evolution - Is JAM good for the Polkadot ecosystem and for DOT ? - What new world of possibilities will JAM unlock - Why we need ‘new blood” in the crypto space - Ethereum Layer 2s: why the design and execution have failed - Has crypto failed? - Is it possible that the best Tech does NOT win in crypto? - What is there to learn from DOGE and FARTCOIN ? - Why money is a mixed blessing And much more... Out on Thursday on WSH !
