The Ether Review #67 ?'" Celebrating Erik Voorhees Week with Erik Voorhees!

In this, the sixty seventh episode of The Ether Review, we set out to understand Prism, Shapeshift?’?s new non-custodial synthetic asset built on the Ethereum network. In reviewing this episode I feel I was unsuccessful in achieving this. However, the peripheral conversation about Erik?’?s view of the space is extremely enlightening, especially writ large in his positioning of Shapeshift. The bitcoin scaling debate, the future of digital assets, the financial world?’?s response?’?Š?'”?’?Šit?’?s all here.

Some of this interview was geared to fit Shapeshift?’?s messaging, not something you?’?ll hear on TER very often. None the less, it?’?s fun to hear such an astute thinker and communicator knock some soft ball questions out of the park.
