Episode 2
In this episode, Alex and Ethan deal with the complicated and fascinating world of cryptocurrency - exploring how they work on a basic level, and discussing the economic ramifications of Bitcoin’s meteoric rise.
The idea for this episode was that Ethan, who had no background in cryptocurrency whatsoever, would be introduced to the ideas live. While that lead to interesting discussions, it also lead to some errors made that were caught during the editing. The first two minute are a correction.
