About this episode

In this episode, we are talking about the Ethereum Merge with Dmitry Buterin. He is the father of Vitalik Buterin- who created Ethereum.

The Ethereum merge is a HUGE event that's going to impact everything from NFTs to Cryptocurrencies to Web3 to the Metaverse. Some people say it is the biggest event in crypto, while others say that the switch from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake is a bit like trying to change the engine on an aeroplane while it is in flight.

In this episode, we'll talk about Ethereum and why it's important. We'll also discuss the Ethereum merge and what you need to do if you're holding any Ether or NFTs.

Dima is a deep thinker but also an easygoing personality. We discuss mental health best practices as well as some other topics like psychedelics that will get you thinking!

The 3 things you will learn: 

  1. The difference between Ethereum and Bitcoin.
  2. What the Ethereum Merge is and why it matters.
  3. Psychedelics and Mental Health: friend or foe?
