Unchained is a podcast about big ideas from the worlds of blockchain and cryptocurrency. Laura Shin recently was in an episode of the amazing Bad Crypto Podcast where I learned about her Unchained Podcast.
I first listened to her episode with Shapeshift’s Erik Voorhees on How Crypto Will Separate Money and State and then went on to get my mind blown by the episode with Vitalik Buterin, creator Of Ethereum, On The Big Guy Vs. The Little Guy.
This podcast is indeed providing premium content about blockchain technology. Vitalik certainly is one of the most if not the most important figure in the blockchain space. But is he really the benevolent dictator of Ethereum like Matt Mullenweg is for WordPress?
I really like his broad, but very practical vision and perspective. Not often can someone with a very deep technical understanding of the underlying technology articulate himself so elaborately and concisely at the same time. And last but not least, I also really like his humor.
In the podcast he speaks about how Ethereum as an ecosystem is becoming more and more decentralized – just as the technology itself, so even if some part becomes «evil», there’s still a fair chance that the ecosystem as a whole will be able to steer ahead.
