Brandon Quittem, friend of the pod, recently wrote a piece called 'Bitcoin and the Rhythms of History'.  In this piece, he discusses the concept of a 'saeculum', or a period of time that represents a 'very long lifespan'.... 90 years in which 4 generations of humans come and go, and the same four patterns of history are repeated in the way that society tumbles forward into the future.  He then connects how we are making yet another 'turning' of the 4-part revolution of a saeculum, and what Bitcoin represents as a character of the story of our place in history.  https://www.brandonquittem.com/bitcoin-rhythms-of-history/   Brandon on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Bquittem Read the article on Brandon's Website! https://www.brandonquittem.com/   Please rate and share the podcast!

In this comical episode of a fight night, David and Christian go through the recent conversations in the cryptosphere.  - Coronavirus; how it illustrates governments desire to lie, or their incompetance.  - Pomp releases a newsletter article saying "ETH is no different than a Fiat Currency". David thinks Pomp is writing a no-substance clickbait, Christian thinks that David and Ethereum people are missing the real message behind it.  - ProgPoW shows a weakness in Ethereums governance; will it also show the strength of Ethereum's immune system? Can Ethereum violate all previous stories and anecdotes of centralized authorities giving up power? Christian thinks history works against Ethereum; David thinks that Ethereum is currently showing that trajectory.
