Web3 and Cryptoeconomics

New Economic Fundamentals

with Alex Tabarrok and host Wes Chow

Alex Tabarrok, Professor of Economics at George Mason University, joins hosts Alaka Halder and Wes Chow to discuss cryptoeconomics – the combination of cryptography and economics – which provides a lens into how web3 is opening up fundamentally new ways of trading, cooperating, and communicating.

Status as a Service: Revisited

with guest Eugene Wei and host Nathan Baschez

Much like Clay Christensen’s theory of disruption, as a management theory becomes more well known, it can change the behavior of managers. Three years in, it feels like many of the most interesting trends in social networking are directly responding to the status as a service thesis.

On one end of the spectrum, we have Twitter actively monetizing status by charging for blue checks. On the other end, we have apps like BeReal seemingly in revolt against the idea that users crave status. What’s really going on?

Eugene and Nathan host a discussion where we attempt to gain clarity.

with Elizabeth Barlow Rogers and Hailey Phillips
