Summary

Alex Nabutovsky and Dmitry Shklovsky are co-founders and co-CEOs of Quicknode, where their mission is to help blockchain ecosystems scale, by providing accessible core infrastructure. In this conversation, we discuss infrastructure importance, data structure, low latency, popular use cases, picking various chains, and the long term vision. ======================= Choice is a new self-directed IRA product that I'm really excited about. If you are listening to this, you are likely part of the 7.1 million bitcoin owners who have retirement accounts with dollars in them, but not bitcoin. I was in that situation too. Now you can actually buy real Bitcoin in your retirement account. I'm talking about owning your private keys and using tax-advantaged dollars to do it too. Absolute game changer. https://www.retirewithchoice.com/pomp ======================= Gemini is a regulated cryptocurrency exchange, wallet, and custodian that makes it simple and secure to buy bitcoin, ether, and other cryptocurrencies: https://www.gemini.com/ =======================
