About the Episode
Two of the most prevalent problems in analysis of crypto:
1. Allegiance to a blockchain - as a fan of X coin, your arguments are emotionally driven
2. Lack of historical perspective - lessons from other technological shifts
Chris is aware of both of these problems and has a unique perspective on how to think about the future going forward. I learned a ton both as an investor and a believer in the purpose of cryptocurrencies.
