Devcon 2024 Episodes are all published!

This past November I went to Devcon in Bangkok (the largest ethereum focused event every other year) where I presented and spoke at a few different events including Devcon itself where I foretold the dangers of DOGE and its use of memetics with my collaborator Beth McCarthy. The presentation was also turned into an article for the Ethereum Investment Club magazine!

The episode I recorded during this three week period in Thailand was probably one of my most wide ranging collection of interviews with topics ranging from post-capitalism to MEV to the meaning of death and a whole lot more! What's even cooler is that I had access to one of the nicest studios I've ever used to record some of these interviews so the video quality is TOP NOTCH.

Breadchain has been POPPING OFF (half a million $ for post-capitalism)

​Breadchain Cooperative, the project I co-founded with members of the cryptoleftists community has reached $500k in TVL! This is half a million in collateral that is earning interest for funding post-capitalist projects✨

Additionally, Breadchain devs recently won first place in two tracks at the ETH Denver hackathon winning $15k in total! They created Gas Killer, a decentralized protocol for saving up to 99% of gas costs for smart contracts with large computation. This means they've effectively created and upper bound for all gas costs on the chain (Ethereum focused right now but we're expanding to other chains) also called the "Turetzky Upper Gas Limit".

Learn more about gas killer on the new website or watch their ETH Denver presentation here.

Did you know that I actually don't make any profit from this work?

That's right. Lately I've actually been LOSING MONEY by continuing this channel as I've increased production quality and begun to focus more on video. If you would like to ensure that I can continue this work for the long term and see it grow in reach then please consider giving to my Patreon to support my work. Blockchain does not need to be used to further entrench capitalist exploitation if we put our efforts into it.

As a patron you receive access to exclusive bonus content, stickers and a whole lot more that I'm planning for the future including a MOOC for those who want to learn more about the concepts in my book Blockchain Radicals. You also receive the satisfaction in knowing that you are supporting an active force against the worst trends in the crypto space that actually has a chance in creating a real alternative✊

I also have one of the biggest things I think I've ever done planned for this month🤫Expect something very big to drop soon...

THE BOOK for the crypto left

Did you know I wrote a book with a recommendation by Vitalik Buterin (founder of Ethereum) himself and several others? Published by Repeater in August 2023, Blockchain Radicals is THE BOOK for those who identify with or are interested in learning more about he crypto left. Blockchain Radicals offers a comprehensive analysis and explanation of the blockchain space from an explicitly left wing point of view.

The book is written for both beginners and technical experts of the blockchain space so no matter where you are on that spectrum, there is plenty for you to take away from. Plus there's also an audiobook version!🎧
