24. London calling

What this episode covers

This week Jonathan and Doug talk Amazon emails (fixed), Monzo doing fintech poorly, Damien Hirst’s Currency issued, and the “bigger than wearables” success of AirPods. After a non-sponsor tea break, we turn to This Week in Crypto to answer the question, “will Bitcoin now go up?” The Binance clampdown sees some results, Amazon’s crypto plans, Ethereum counts down to London, and defi governance power struggles. We close as usual with Shitcoin vs Fakecoin. Links we mentioned: Monzo fees (cash machine limit is £250 per month, after which there’s a 3% fee; not £400 per day - that’s only for Monzo Plus): https://monzo.com/blog/current-account-guides/how-much-can-you-withdraw-from-an-atm/ Damien Hirst’s “Currency” artwork: https://www.heni.com/ Excellent tea website, having a summer sale: https://meileaf.com/teas/ Countdown to Ethereum’s new protocol: https://mainnet.watchtheburn.com/ An overview of what can happen when competitors buy up governance: https://www.rekt.news/curve-wars/
