This interview certainly lived up to expectations. Excellent!
Did I hear this right? He had to power through to get a piece of paper that had billions of dollars in the account? Bro… can I get a chance to power through?
I like that Lex is interested in crypto for the tech, and not the current trading price. So much better than the people pushing trading and worse leverage trading.
LEX ASKED GREAT QUESTIONS. HE PRESSED HIM ON ALL THE KEY ISSUES
One of the better interviews I've listened to in recent memory. Bravo!
when under 5 cent per transaction again?
most computer science line ever 41:08
It would be interesting to interview both Vitalik Buterin and Charles Hoskinson in tandem, to ascertain whether they might be inclined to attempt to reconcile some of their past antagonisms and to give them the opportunity to explicate more fully their different evaluations of formal methods.
1:37:10 – meh-DAH-yuh is the correct pronunciation for Medalla 🙂
Bullish podcast lessgoooo
Been waiting for this!
The question of "would crime increase"…what need is there for crime if everyone has equal access to creating wealth?
Polygon is pretty much controlled by 2 guys. Very centralized. Chico Crypto asked them a couple of questions and the guy refused to answer him. That says it all.
2:20:55
Lex asked about Chainlink lets go!!! 😄👍
Dr Craig wright is satoshi nakamoto
Guy from the Coin Bureau is going to shoot his load when he see's this podcast
Dude was truly nervous describing how he had to transfer his entire networth 😱
I need me a Russian man.
