Crypto Crash, Part II: A Debate About the Future of Web3

54 min•26 juli 2022

Today is the second half of our special two-parter on the state of crypto. Yesterday’s theme was the case against. Today we debate the case for.

In the last few weeks, use-cases have become a popular trope in the big crypto debate. Crypto has tens of thousands of people working with dozens of billions of dollars on building new technology. And I think it’s fair to ask: What have they built that is better than the status quo? What, as Monty Python might ask, has blockchain ever done for us?

Today’s guest is Packy McCormick. Packy is the popular author of the Not Boring newsletter. In this episode, we debate use-cases for crypto, talk about whether major products are just Ponzi schemes, and discuss whether all the money sloshing around Web3 has subtly distorted the market and hurt the space.

Host: Derek Thompson
