Talking Politics with Vitalik Buterin (Part 1)

I interviewed Vitalik Buterin about his thoughts on the political aspects of crypto. It was a candid discussion about his book “Proof of Stake“, the evolution of Ethereum, and the dangers of the far right.

Although our discussion happened just before the current scandal with FTX, there were many relevant threads. History has shown that similar types of events can create openings for radicalization and it’s important that we make the appropriate moves to tamp down the fascistic tendencies in this space.

This is just the first half of the full 2.5 hour long discussion we had. The second half of the interview will be released next week, or if you can’t wait that long, you can listen to the full interview already through Patreon, or the crypto native way via Unlock Protocol below. To do this you will need to buy a Membership NFT with BREAD tokens on the Polygon network. You can get the tokens with DAI here and learn more about the application here.

The NFT works similar to Patreon in that it allows a monthly recurring payment of 10 BREAD, but will give access to all future paid content directly on this website. You only need to pay 10 BREAD for access to this interview and continuously only if you want to support and get access to future bonus content.

If in the past you have purchased an NFT on Mirror from a Breadchain Cooperative article, you’ve also been airdropped a membership NFT to the same wallet and should be able to access the full interview without paying.
