We'll, I like to think that Gideon Lichfield 🇺🇦🌻 and Lauren Goode sat down WITH me, rather than sat me down - even if some of the recording does feel like I'm getting a talking to by a schoolmaster :).

Still, do give it a listen. We covered a lot of ground.

If you're looking for a story that brings home the human cost of SBF's actions, look no further than Dilin Shiva Massand's account of how African students got roped into being FTX ambassadors and then lost it all.

Oooh. I'm first up!

Thrilled to be returning to NEARCon next month. It was such a good event last year.

I have no doubt that Marieke and Illia (root.near) (🇺🇦, ⋈) of NEAR Foundation and NEAR Protocol | NEARCON | November 7-10 | Lisbon! will put another great show.

See you in Lisbon.

This is why I remain excited about this industry. Winter or not, It never stops innovating.
