Ep. 71: The Cybercurrency Crash—Interview with David Golumbia
The co-hosts welcome back cybercurrency maven David Golumbia, previously interviewed in Ep. 63, to discuss the recent crash in cryptocurrency markets. David explains what Luna/Terra and NFTs (nonfungible tokens) are—or were. Issues discussed include: causes of the crash; winners and losers; the role of fraud and relation between fraud and cyber-libertarian ideology; whether we should be surprised by the crash; and whether cyptocurrency markets will bounce back.
Current-events segment: The Jan. 6 committee hearings redux. New revelations, the impact of the hearings, and “Team Normal” Trumpism.
