| 0:00.0 | If you have an ether and you want it to be valuable, then you have to act in ways that bring value to the network. |
| 0:09.4 | Welcome to Layers0. Layers0 is a podcast of unscripted conversations with the people that make up the |
| 0:14.4 | Ethereum community. Crypto is built by code with a composed of people and each individual member of |
| 0:19.7 | the crypto community has their own story to tell. Cyberpunks understood that the code they write |
| 0:24.5 | impacts the people that use it and Layers0 focuses on the people behind the code because Ethereum is |
| 0:29.0 | people all the way down and it always has been. Today on Layers0, I'm talking with Superfizz and |
| 0:34.3 | Superfizz is a community member of a number of different parts of the Ethereum community. The |
| 0:38.4 | R-Eath Finance subreddit, the Rocketpool community, the Eath Staking community. He's just fascinated |
| 0:44.3 | by Eath Staking and so I would call him an Eath Staking expert, although he probably wouldn't |
| 0:48.5 | like that expert title. He's just a community member through and through and living and breathing |
| 0:54.1 | and dying for decentralized protocols. Superfizz is worried at this present moment. He calls Ethereum |
| 1:01.2 | under attack and so what is Ethereum under attack by? This is the conversation of liquid |
| 1:07.3 | staking derivatives, which has been a very significant conversation in the Ethereum space lately |
| 1:12.9 | and how liquid staking derivatives, tokenized staked Eath tokens, staked Eath from Lido, |
| 1:20.6 | R-Eath from Rocketpool. We talk about the conversation of how liquid staking derivatives might come |
| 1:27.0 | to centralize Ethereum and what we can do about that. You guys are looking to learn more about that |
| 1:33.6 | conversation. This is a great place to get started. We also talk about other things like how |
| 1:38.4 | Superfizz got started with Bitcoin, even before getting into Ethereum. We got started with Bitcoin |
| 1:43.2 | and how he felt that the Bitcoin community let him down and the lessons that he has learned from |
| 1:48.3 | that era of his life and how he has applied that forward to Ethereum. So I hope you guys enjoy this |
| 1:53.6 | fantastic interview with Superfizz from Rocketpool, from Eath Finance, from E-Stakers, right after we |
| 1:59.4 | get to some of these fantastic sponsors that make the show possible. Rocketpool is your friendly, |
