On today's podcast we speak with David Liebowitz, a founding team member of Everipedia platform of decentralized knowledge base. We go into the decision making process when making the decision between using the Ethereum network or the EOS network. We drill down into EOS and discuss the CPU and RAM tokens to be able to use and access the EOS network and use dApps built on it. DeFi is quickly propagating to the collective crypto conscience and we get David's thoughts on the the current explosion. Prediction markets are also on an upward trend and Everipedia using the PredIQt token is gaining traction.

If you haven't been paying attention to what types of projects most of the volume is going towards, you might be missing what could cause a trillion dollar crypto market. With several billions locked up in the DeFi ecosystem, this sector of the crypto space is on its way of catapulting the general industry into the trillion dollar range. We begin the discussion with how we predicted that DeFi would fuel the next exponential expansion of the crypto industry in late 2019.

With the sudden pump in Mana, you would think this would be a good thing. We go into the inside details of running a business thats based completely in cryptocurrency and the ramifications of volatile pricing. Decisions need to be made and consequences are felt. How does a small business adjust to unpredictable pricing? How do we build a platform that many creators use and depend on that is reliable. Cultivating a platform with razor thin margin of error keeps us awake at night, maybe the community can provide some input here with some suggestions. In addition, we explore expanding MetaZone's offering to encompass the larger game development community.

On today's podcast we interview the CEO of Liquidity.Network to discuss GAS fees and solutions to the scalability problem. Arthur Gervais breaks down how Ethereum has a bottle neck and how many other blockchains suffer from the same inherent problem. Arthur helps understand why Ethereum can only handle a handful of transactions per second. What are the implications of a sidechain versus an off chain transaction. He also explains how Liquidity Network is able to achieve gasless transactions and what it could do for dapp developers like us. The onbaording process is an important aspect to get correct and we get into the details on how that works for any developer looking to reduce gas fees. Finally, we ask what its like to develop in both bull and bear markets and the differences between each.

We debrief from last week's discussion on how the stock market is in a huge bubble. Except the next day after recording our previous podcast, Bitcoin takes off and reaches the 2020 all time high. So this week we discuss if the possibility of Bitcoin becoming a true store of value during these uncertain times becomes a reality. Open world gaming always have a common thread in the grind mechanism. We discuss how and why this mechanism is needed in Decentraland and ways it could occur. One of the many ways is implementing consumables through ERC1155 NFTs. These tokens can serve to kickstart an economy within a game world and necessary to improve the daily active users. Finally, conspiracy theories are mostly a commentary on how fragile the human mind can be.
