Episode 71 - Morning rambling and speculation on crypto, layers, and The Merge

Good morning! Just like the title says, lots of rambling. It's what I do. I wake up and speculate on the market, on life, on technology, on people. I spout off uneducated and biased opinions. But hey, at least I have questions and don't just jump off the cliff like the rest of the lemmings. In this episode I guess I would say the main subject matter is Ethereum and the the Merge. The Ethereum Foundation does not want people to use the terminology ETH1 & ETH2, but to instead use execution and consensus layer. They want this for several reasons. The most clear to me is scam prevention!
