Eric Conner, co-Host of the EthHub Podcast, Formerly Product at Gnosis, and Ethereum’s Unofficial Community Manager

We ask Eric, does he accept the title of 'Unofficial Community Manager'?

Eric has called the the 2018-19 Bear Market period as ‘the time that User, Investors, and Builders of Ethereum all came together’

- Why is this important?
- What was the Ethereum community like in 2015-17?
- How has the Ethereum community developed, changed, matured over time?

Did Eric ever have doubts that we would ever get to this point?

Then, Eric and David discuss the merits of a 'patriotic duty to Stake ETH'

- Is it someone's patriotic duty to stake?
- Or is ETH staking just another yield-farm?
- How does the role of feeling politically aligned play in Staking ETH? 

Finally, we turn to the Bull Case for Ethereum 

- What is Eric's perceived 'win-condition' for Ethereum?
