We start off by taking a deep dive into EOS, and end up in a philosophical discussion about democracy in general.

We cover:

  • BitShares as an early DeFi project
  • The Hive Fork this year
  • Steem and what’s been learnt from these previous iterations
  • Google Cloud becoming a block producer for the EOS network
  • the early constitution that was scrapped
  • Voice platform
  • Differences between EOS and Ethereum
  • Rothbard’s title transfer theory of contract
  • Censorship culture
  • The philosophy of secession

The audio-only podcast version of this interview is available Oct 12 on Soundcloud, iTunes, and Stitcher. Podcast links: https://cointr.ee/naomibrockwell

Paul Puey, the CEO of Edge Wallet, and I did a deep dive into EOS on our Coinwatch show this week, so if you’d like to hear Paul’s perspective of the coin and whether or not Paul would be interested in investing $100 in it, that episode is released on Thursday and I’ll post the link here once it's released.

If you’d like to send me any questions for guests or send a message of support for the show, I have a cointr.ee page and you can add a note to my wall https://cointr.ee/naomibrockwell
