Evolving Narratives in the Crypto Space with Andreas M. Antonopoulos

On the show today we welcome Andreas M. Antonopoulos (@aantonop) to chat with us about his perspectives on the current crypto space, the contrasting developments of Bitcoin and Ethereum, and the massive role that design choices play in the future of these two currencies. We also welcome cryptocurrency analyst Arjun Balaji (@arjunblj) as a co-host for this episode. Together we field some introductory and more complex questions on ways in which Bitcoin and Ethereum compete, could potentially replace each other, and areas in which their goals might overlap. We talk about ideological choices from consumers, some of the pitfalls of Ethereum and why he has very little interest in which is the better investment. Andreas also explains scaling solutions and privacy concerns. For all of that and more, tune in today!
