Show Notes

There are about a million claims out there as to what blockchains are going to fix, and how NFTs are going to be used to unlock your house, and how DAOs will be used to enforce and decide laws, but what truth is there to this really? And more importantly, does a blockchain really solve these problems? What are the inherent trust issues, and where are the vulnerabilities? Today we dive into this concept and cover many of the most touted "use cases" for blockchain and talk about what could be needed to solve them, and whether blockchain is just a square peg for a round hole. Mentioned in the episode are two highly recommended reads for further digging and to understand more precisely some of the ideas behind Guy's Take in today's show: Green Eggs and Ham: Part 1 - https://open.spotify.com/episode/2Zf1kcS8lnrgiaMBKcs2BQ?si=ed8dd3bf43dd499b Part 2 - https://open.spotify.com/episode/72tyuRteYqjFJFukixhZU1?si=499235400b854bc9 Bitcoin is the Great Definancialization: https://open.spotify.com/episode/30ZOqjCG1XL5ySSeEg1lBz?si=a03ba06d8d854fd6 Boost Bitcoin Audible on Fountain (and stick it to those Linux weirdos) to get the best Bitcoin podcast to the top of the leaderboards Drop you comment in with your boost if you have feedback for the show or want to tell me how wrong I am.
