PNW Blockchain Presents: Blockchain Utopia vs. Blockchain Dystopia

“If you buidl it, they will come.”
       – Satoshi Nakamoto, probably

People are excited about buidling in the depths of Crypto Winter, but will all of this work bring us closer to the decentralized utopia of our dreams or will we end up with something a little more “1984?”

Listen as Joseph Williams and Tamara Rogers go head-to-head in a semi-formal debate about the ethics of buidling in blockchain!
