Show Notes

"When people get up and begin to talk to me about how they’re going to use the blockchain to solve supply chain, or whatever other (mostly ridiculous) idea they have, it reminds of someone who just discovered that limestone aggregate in concrete makes for better strength and better overall properties in concrete; so they then apply it to everything else:
• They put some limestone in their green smoothie
• On their avocado and toast
• In their latte
• As a back rub on their partner’s skin
• And even as fuel in their car"
