what’s that?
explain again!
Ever feel like it's hard to keep up with technical developments in crypto? People ferociously @ each other on X.com, opining on infinitesimal details, while you just want to properly understand of the issue at hand?
Explain Again! is where no question is too stupid. On some episodes I interrogate expert friends, stubbornly digging until we get the fundamentals straight. On other episodes we’ll use visual explainers to grok complex dynamics.
