Ethereum’s North Star With Mike Neuder

We’re rejoined by Mike Neuder, Ethereum researcher and general student of all things crypto-economics, to discuss the future of his bags, AKA Ethereum. We pick up on the conversation a lot of Twitter is having regarding Ethereum’s fraught future. Is it worth the marketcap? Can Solana flippen it? Is the FUD legit? We discuss on this week’s Gwart Show!
