IO Radio #21: Trapped on Planet Crypto-Bro!

In this special extended episode of ioRadio, Adam and Sal, in an effort to establish peace and solidarity with a strange new alien race, unknowingly travel to the planet... CRYPTO BRO... Originally thought to be residents of planet Earth, the real world, they discover they are not in the same place. Follow us on this strange journey, where the "specific" is strangely "abstract." Where "permanence" and "reliability" manifest into "utility" and "value" despite not actually being qualified. We attempt to find some kind of common ground with a bona fide crypto enthusiast who proves to be as evasive and slithery as the fearsom Dianoga, changing the subject with incredible speed, moving laterally as soon as they sense they're near a corner, hiding behind huge abstractions that nobody completely understands. In order to make sense of this strange alien encounter we had to fabricate a special new technology, the "Vague Abstraction Meter" which tracked our guest's nimble verbal moves in real time so we could attempt to gain some common ground. Watch the video and our new (potentially disruptive technology), the "Vague Abstraction Meter."
