Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst We classify the podcasts we curate with different heads: a normal podcast only with its title. Others are for instance recommended or highly recommended, warning... and few like this one as "Epic": This time for the usual reasons: is Lex Fridman again. And than at the other side of the table is Srinivasan,one of the most articulate person you can meet in your life, who understands the connections and the points of everything around our world and lives. And also, it is an epic 8 hours of podcast. It means you have the whole weekend, starting from today to watch it. So many things, so much knowledge, so many connections and developments there we wouldn't have even imagined, on everything crypto, digital economy, politics, in sum about "life, the universe and everything else"( you know what I am referring to). How to see the reality and how all pieces make sense once you see the big picture. We leave here because we want you to start this epic 8 hour journey.
