The Road to Ethereum 2.0

With Ryan Watkin and Wilson Withiam of Messari

Ryan Watkins and Wilson Withiam lead the effort behind Messari's 'The Road to ETH 2.0' report. 

Both Ryan and David agree: this is the best piece of literature that has ever been produced about Ethereum, ever. 

This report will serve as an accurate guide to the uninformed as to the nature of Ethereum and the types of economies it can support. 

Get the report from Messari here: https://messari.io/road-to-eth2

We bring Ryan and Wilson on to discuss the production of this report, and some of the decision-making that went on behind the scenes.
