Episode notes

The layer two wars have continued to be. They're at the hottest they've ever been. Optimism flipped arbitrum in terms of daily transactions this week. That is a new event in the layer two wars. DeFi's getting bigger. It's at $200 million now. I'm doing the same thing with L2. All of us that were bullish on DeFi when we first learned about the word. We're all using this as validation. This really is the default D5 pulse of 2019 and 2020. Different D5 pulse, we're just constantly giving the refresh button.
