Sal and Dave are joined by Josh Rosenthal, a former historian and AI founder turned crypto investor. Josh presents an illuminating history lesson, detailing the catalysts and chaos as the Middle Ages transitioned into the Renaissance period - and highlighting the many parallels that crypto and AI are facing today with their own push for decentralisation and freedom of choice. Josh also delves into crypto’s ability to turn cost centres into revenue generators, and explores how that can help to unlock moats and disproportionately reward those within the long tail of society’s distribution curve. Check out the full episode for Josh’s uniquely historical perspective on the future of crypto and AI.
