Ethereum has been the #2 cryptocurrency and we dedicated this episode to answer - what is Ethereum. Ideated in 2014, and having an official start in 2015, Ethereum got the most attention in the crypto boom of 2017 - mainly because of how easy it was to "Create" another cryptocurrency on top of Ethereum.
This main innovation - known as smart contracts - enabled many projects to live on the Ethereum Blockchain, and create their own token at the click of a button. Ethereum enabled DeFi and was the birthplace for NFTs.

We've had more questions on Dogecoin in the last week, than about Bitcoin in the last 4 years of our life. It was inevitable that we needed to cover this topic on the podcast. Fundamentally, we think the value of Dogecoin is driven by meme culture, the same forces that took GME (GameStop) to astronomical heights. So what, if any is the intrinsic value of Dogecoin, and what does that even mean anyway? These questions and more are explored in this episode.
