This month, i'm getting curious. We're celebrating this pride month with our pride in nature series. I wasn't there at noah's ark, but i do think there were defily queer animals on that arc. There are many fungee that have not two, not three, different mating types,. But tens of thousands of sexes. So just boo. The finareas like male, female, just completely out o the window. Now this week we're talking about crypto. Last time we talked aobout the crypto world was well over a year ago, with the rise of nft and everis pipkin. And events of recent weeks are making that assessment look correct

Crypto is crashing, which makes it the perfect time to ask whether blockchain technology is actually — you know — useful for anything. Computer scientist Nicholas Weaver joins Adam to discuss the inherent flaws in the technology, the shockingly slow state of innovation considering that the technology has been around for a decade, and what a better system for digital money might be.
