✨ DEBRIEF | Unpacking the Episode:
——
Vitalik Buterin is your friendly neighborhood Ethereum developer, an alfalfa male who thinks we should rename Gas to Mana.
In today’s episode, Vitalik unpacks his recent essay, “What in the Ethereum application ecosystem excites me,” and his thoughts around why crypto villains are getting worse, what Ethereum’s most scalable use case is, why he plans to say ‘Ethereum’ rather than ‘crypto’ in 2023, how Ethereum solves the big bad identity problem, and why he thinks “simple DeFi good, complicated DeFi bad.”
Every episode with Vitalik is a must-listen and this one is no different.
