The Bitcoin Podcast

International payments is not an easy challenge to tackle, and Stellar is working diligently to upend the current aging and fee-ridden systems for a more democratized method of international asset transfer. In this episode we have Nikhil Saraf, Principal Software Engineer at Stellar Development Foundation, to educate us on the core features of Stellar, how it achieves consensus, and the practicals of how Stellar can be integrated into regular business and consumer applications.

Andy Boyan is friend of the network who is a long time listener and active slack member. This week he joins Lucian to talk about memes and the power of their narratives. As a PhD in Communication who studied technology adoption and mechanics, he drops some wisdom on how Ethereum can come to terms with its narrative, own its identity, and stay weird.

In this week's episode of The Bitcoin Podcast, Ray Redacted swings by to correct and address some of the lingering drama centered around the Bit Block Book conference. We also spent some time discussing Dan Larimer and what it takes to to create something that people will actually use. Again, Corey and Dee debate the merits of HODL vs using. Dee seems to think that there should not be one chain to rule them all. Maybe there is room for a counsel in crypto that can serve to guide this budding industry to relevance.

We all saw the warning signs of the ICO craze in 2017 but it still hit us like a ton of bricks. Many have been burnt while others profited at the expense of new loyal users in the crypto-space. Now that the dust has settled and the cringing thought of another ICO is history, there has been a surge in Decentralized Autonomous Organisations (DAO) popping up everywhere you go. Is a DAO bubble looming in the horizon? Through Dynamics Design, Beth McCarthy shows us how to avoid mistakes of yesteryear and carefully design resilient and human-centric incentive models that deliver long-lasting value and meaning to users in your DAO.
