Limited World View

Advancing blockchain technology is vitally important. Inviting anyone on to this podcast as long as they share that viewpoint is the modus operandi of Bankless.

When it comes to inviting political candidates on, favoring pro crypto candidates (often those whose views in other arenas are wildly harmful) to the expense of all else underscores the limited perspective these hosts can offer their audiences.
