Speculation That Unites Us And Divides Us In Crypto, Plus Why ETH Should Be A Trillion-Dollar Asset

Kain Warwick is the Founder of Synthetix and Infinex.

In this episode, we discuss how speculation drives the world of crypto, why it fuels innovation, and how it unites us and divides us. Applying this thinking, we break down Ethereum’s narrative challenges this cycle, its misunderstood value prop, and why ETH should already be a trillion-dollar asset. We also dive into the disconnect between TradFi and The Ethereum Foundation, and why better communication and maybe a CMO could shift momentum for ETH, before covering the latest updates on the non-custodial crypto app, Infinex.
