Episode notes

No one expected enitis to be the thing that got so many people interested, good, bad or indifferent in crypto. I'm still not sure i fundamentally understand the business model they've got there. But iknow, as tim pointed out, you can put a lot of different types of data into these transactions. And like, really like box chans or just like nested jason flying around with all sorts of little bits of data tucked inside of them, that's weirdly comforting.

The Web3 world—blockchain, cryptocurrency, NFTs, and more—seems to be everywhere these days. And, as analysts, how could we not salivate at the idea of a data set that is just one flat, immutable, ever-growing table with a handful of columns (aka… a blockchain-powered public ledger)? We sat down with Anthony Mandelli from Coin Metrics to see whether Tim and Moe could be moved from "totally clueless" to "barely knowledgeable" on the topic in a single hour (Michael was already a knowledgeable enthusiast). The jury is out as to whether we were successful, but stay tuned for the upcoming announcement of the Analytics Power Hour DAO we're starting up (we're minting RockFlag coins to make it happen).
