This is a special episode of Lightspeed, Blockworks' newest podcast, where we interview Balaji Srinivasan and Akshay BD to discuss crypto networks, sovereignty and the practicality of decentralization. If you only tune in to one episode of Lightspeed, this is it. We discuss if crypto is a bet on tech or financial collapse, blockchain infrastructure ideologies, Balaji's Network State, how to build effective communities, the future of open source, combatting tribalism and more!

We're dropping this episode here as we think you'll want to add Lightspeed to your podcast lineup!
