On this extra special episode, the boys welcome Roko (~bacsul-lissyl) of Basilisk fame to discuss the FTX collapse, his hopes for Urbit, and how crypto can become more than a scam. The team also dives into the dangers of centralization and censorship (on Twitter and beyond), crowdfunding and dominant assurance contracts, and the optimism of personal AI. All this and more—don't miss it.
