S2E2: John Locke- Understanding Blockchain and Crypto

Crypto, Blockchain, and Web3.0 are all terms that are thrown around but rarely understood. This week, an interview with John Locke, a Senior Research Analyst for Messari, shines some clarity on those subjects. 

Some questions we answer during this episode. How do tokens incentivize buyers? How do FIAT currencies impact crypto values? How do you put a value on coins? What are the capabilities of open source blockchain? And what is Web3.0? 

Before joining Messari, John worked in Equity Derivatives on Wall Street on both the buy and sell side. He studied macroeconomics and markets for almost a decade. Now, John spends time thinking about token design, DeFi protocols, and governance.
