Web3 and Cryptoeconomics
New Economic Fundamentals
with Alex Tabarrok and host Wes Chow

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.
Building to Last: Past, Present and Future
