gm: Meet the Brain Behind Avalanche Feb 25, 2023

Show notes

Ava Labs Founder and CEO Emin Gün Sirer has been working on proof-of-work cryptocurrencies since before Bitcoin. He talked to Dan Roberts and Stacy Elliott about how Avalanche avoided the FTX crisis and how much damage SBF has done to crypto’s image with VCs, why institutions still aren’t backing away from crypto, how Avalanche will succeed in the long run, and trying to cater to both Wall Street institutions and DeFi degens.
