Hi, everyone. Welcome to Unchained, your no hype resource for all things crypto. I'm your host,

0:08.8

Laura Shin, a journalist for the over two decades of experience. I started covering crypto

0:13.5

six years ago, and as a senior editor at Forbes, was the first mainstream media reporter

0:18.1

to cover cryptocurrency full-time. This is the June 15th, 2021 episode of Unchained,

0:24.8

which makes it the five-year anniversary of the podcast. I was originally planning a five-year

0:33.1

anniversary event for the show, like an in-person event, but it's not really possible to wrap up a

0:40.7

book, plan an event, and also produce two podcasts a week and a daily newsletter, so I will be

0:47.1

planning an event for the fall. And what's even better about that is that we should be more fully

Today's episode for the 5-year anniversary is just an AMA because I'm also wrapping up my book

1:54.3

as we speak and just needed to use the time that I would have used to book a guest to

2:04.4

finish up the book. So today's first question is a poem from Ben Lawson,

2:10.0

whose some of you might remember for making this amazing video that we used in the live

2:14.4

podcast recording with Vitalik Booterin back in 2019. And for this episode, Ben has written a
