What If Your Ape Could Rap? ft. Ryan Broderick

This week, we finally have to address the big ape with laser eyes smoking weed in the room and is worth over £5 million for some reason. Yes, we are talking about NFTs, the crypto economy, and what's driving this accelerated faith that bored apes and lazy lions are apparently going to rescue capitalism from itself. We're joined by Ryan Broderick (@Broderick) from The Content Mines and the Garbage Day Newsletter, to talk about why Mike Shinoda, the rapper from Linkin Park, seems to think they're the future. Then we talk about a recent-ish essay from Hamilton Nolan about what happens if or when the crypto economy fails. Nolan believes that the most likely outcome is probably reactionary fascism, but is this hyperbole? Or, could something worse actually happen instead? It's like a fun game to figure out what the dumbest way we could all die could be.
