Listen to this episode from Panic with Friends - Howard Lindzon on Spotify.

So who better to have on to make sense of all this?  Guests: Sami Issa, CEO & Co-Founder at W3BCloud Maggie Love, Director - Ecosystem & Partnerships & Co-Founder at W3BCloud, Founder at SheFi howardlindzon.com, w3bcloud.com, shefi.org  Twitter: @howardlindzon, @PanicwFriends, @W3BCLOUD, @maggielove_, @She_Fi, @knutjensen  linkedin.com/in/samiissa linkedin.com/in/maggielove07 #fintech #invest #investment #venturecapital #stockmarket #finance  Show Notes: Introduction (00:39) Welcome Maggie and Sami (06:44) Understanding ‘compute’ (06:58) Decentralization & ‘permissionless’ (1016) Crypto & Web3 (12:47) In the back yards of Giants (17:20) Composability (21:27) Not a ‘Winner take all’ world (24:04) Origin story (24:20) Dealing with bear markets (31:48) The adoption cycle (35:20) Infrastructure is the way (38:10) Buffett’s crypto play (39:45) Next internet revolution (41:54) Moving through the cycles (44:05) What makes the register ring?
