WTF, Crypto Mark Lurie

We've talked a lot about DAOs on this podcast, but we regularly receive questions about what they are and why they matter. So today's episode is a bit of a different format. It's a talk I recently gave at a conference about the importance of DAOs in the context of the history of human organization.

 In a hundred years, historians may look back on DAOs, rather than money, as the most game-changing innovation to come out of blockchain.

But DAOs probably won't evolve in the way most people think today. So let's jump in.

Today we're talking about DAO incorporation with David Kerr of Andreessen Horowitz. 

Today we're demystifying  developer marketing. One of the great things about crypto is that everything is open and composable, which means developers can build their applications using any other application.

And when a project gets a lot of developers using it, it defines an ecosystem.  The blockchains and applications that create large ecosystems tend to have network effects which create a lot of value for everyone involved. In this episode we'll break down how this all works. 

Today, we're talking about DEX Aggregators. Over a trillion dollars have been traded through DEXs this year alone. DEXs are especially important when things like FTX happen because people are realizing more and more that if you don't own the keys to your crypto, then it's not really your crypto. In this episode we take a deep look into what traders need to know. 

Today I'm talking Matthew Leising about the role the media plays in crypto. And the sole that sources and incentives play in the stories told in the media.

Matthew Leising worked for Bloomberg News for 17 years and started covering crypto in 2015. In 2020, he published “Out of the Ether,” a history of Ethereum and the people who created it. Earlier this year he co-founded DeCential Media which is dedicated to telling stories of the founders, builders and visionaries of the new decentralized world.

In this episode I chat with Angie Malltezi about Decentralized Exchanges (better known as DEXs) and how traders can get the most out of them.
