Staking with Conviction w/ Jasper the Friendly Ghost (Rocket Pool)

Guest: Jasper the Friendly Ghost (⁠Twitter: @DrJasper_ETH⁠)

Host: Rex (Twitter: @LogarithmicRex) In the midst of the frenzied narratives surrounding Ethereum staking and LSD (Liquid Staking Derivatives), it's essential to pause and reflect on the fundamental questions: What is the significance of Ethereum staking, and why does it matter? In this episode, we engage with Jasper the friendly Ghost, a passionate advocate of Ethereum as the "world computer" and a prominent figure in the Rocket Pool community. While Jasper is deeply involved with Rocket Pool, this conversation transcends one protocol, delving into system and economic design, Ethereum's role in modern society, and the personal motivations that drive individuals toward the world of blockchain. A crucial disclaimer: I am a Rocket Pool node operator and maintain exposure to RPL.
