The rise of Ethereum and decentralized finance has resulted in a huge amount of press coverage in both mainstream and fintech press. Some people like to focus on the prices of the various tokens and others prefer to talk about the technology piece. But very little has been written about the origin story of Ethereum and why decentralization has been so important.

My guest today on the Fintech One-on-One Podcast is Laura Shin. She was one of the first journalists in the world to cover crypto full time and has had a front-row seat to all the developments over the last several years. She is the host of the popular podcast, Unchained and has recently published a book called The Cryptopians: Idealism, Greed, Lies, and the Making of the First Big Cryptocurrency Craze.
