I am honored and thrilled to announce that @BitwiseInvest , one of the most credible companies in the crypto industry, is now an official When Shift Happens Sponsor!

It all started when I invited @HHorsley , the CoFounder and CEO of Bitwise, on the pod last year in August and I welcomed him with a warm coffee that made all the difference

Unsure why, (his love language might be "acts of services"?) but that coffee - together with an amazing conversation on the podcast - started something really special: a friendship with one of the most respected founders in the space - that has now gone to the next level with a Sponsorship that features as a sponsor Bitwise of WSH while making the WSH brand look even more credible

A beautiful Win - Win!

To the whole Bitwise team, thank you for your trust and your support, and for being the good Stewards of the crypto space for more than 7 years now!

This week I'm releasing a 60-minute conversation with @EvanWeb3 - the Co-founder & CEO of @Mysten_Labs and @SuiNetwork

SUI is a blazing-fast Layer 1 blockchain reimagining how assets and apps move in Web3

Before diving into crypto, Evan helped shape core engineering at Apple and Meta. Now, he’s building the tech backbone for the next era of decentralized applications.

We talk about:

- Why centralisation drives companies to become evil
- Why Sui is the best blockchain out there
- Why Ethereum doesn’t work and is not decentralised
- How SUI is the AWS of the decentralised future
- What it means to be a developer at heart, but becoming a CEO
- Why Evan left a comfortable, cushy job in big tech to try and build something that's really hard
- Building a company culture on the concept of "agency"
- What @WalrusProtocol is

And much, much more..

Polkadot June starting strong

Lots more content coming your way to go deep down the DOT rabbit hole 👊🏼

This Tuesday, I am releasing a fascinating conversation with @edhesse79 , the man behind @energywebx , which is unlocking another level of the power of the blockchain - in the energy markets!

Imagine if your Tesla could be trading and earning you money while it’s just there - sitting in your garage or in a parking slot during day…

That’s one of the crazy things that will be possible in the next 3 years and that we discuss with Ed

We also talk about:

- Web Energy
- How Ed met Gavin and founded @scytaledigital with @gavofyork and @mark_cachia_
- Self Sovereignty
- the Polkadot ecosystem and its future
- why Ed built Web Energy on Polkadot and why no other chain could have accommodated for the level of complexity and granularity that the energy markets require on the blockchain

And much much more

Ever since I read “The Bitcoin Standard” by @saifedean in late 2018, I’ve been waking up every day with one main focus only:

How do I get more Bitcoin?

I have now come to peace with the fact that this will never change

And that I will never own enough

Reminder that CT is NOT crypto and crypto is NOT CT

CT is mostly an echo chamber of (uninspiring) weirdos who have no life and are pretty toxic

This Thursday, I am releasing a 3H conversation with @gavofyork , the CoFounder of Ethereum and Founder of @Polkadot

I flew all the way from Singapore to Lisbon with my friend @0xtp91 to record what I think is my best podcast ever recorded on WSH.

Why is it the best WSH podcast ever (so far)?

Because of a mix of things we nailed on this one: the studio we tailor made just for this conversation in the outskirt of Lisbon, the level of attention to detail on how the background looks like, the production quality (images, trailer, pictures), the preparation I put into this (I usually spend hours prepping for each pod, this one I easily spent 3x that time), the flow of the conversation, the topics, the guest (obviously), and last but not least, the fact that it was near perfection despite me being ill with a strong flu (something that even I couldn’t notice when I rewatched the conversation afterwards)

Here are just a few of the topics we covered:

- Self Sovereignty
- Network States vs Nation States
- How to make network founders work with one another instead of competing?
- The Evolution of Governance
- Is OpenGOV a success so far?
- Why Networks should not have charismatic founders
- Polkadot Parachains and their evolution
- Is JAM good for the Polkadot ecosystem and for DOT ?
- What new world of possibilities will JAM unlock
- Why we need ‘new blood” in the crypto space
- Ethereum Layer 2s: why the design and execution have failed
- Has crypto failed?
- Is it possible that the best Tech does NOT win in crypto?
- What is there to learn from DOGE and FARTCOIN ?
- Why money is a mixed blessing

And much more...
