19:40 Elon Twitter Takeover
Elon Musk is now in charge at Twitter. I'm told former CEO @paraga and CFO @nedsegal have left the company's HQ and will not be returning as the Musk era begins.

24:00 Lords and Peasants
Twitter’s current lords & peasants system for who has or doesn’t have a blue checkmark is bullshit.
Power to the people! Blue for $8/month.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 1, 2022
28:20 Vitalik’s Take
How well this works depends on exactly how much due diligence is done to make sure blue checks are who they say they are. "Pay $8/month and call yourself whatever" would damage the blue check's anti-scam role. But if there's more actual verification, the result is very different. https://t.co/BsQJCMsmDk

29:50 Erik Voorhees Take
Let's remember that @elonmusk charging $8 for premium Twitter experience means Twitter becomes the product again, instead of you.
And if $8 is too much, you're free to remain as the product.
— Erik Voorhees (@ErikVoorhees) November 1, 2022
30:30 Entitled Elite
The entitled elite is not mad that they have to pay $8/month. They’re mad that anyone can pay $8/month.
— David Sacks (@DavidSacks) November 3, 2022
31:00 AOC Ratio
Your feedback is appreciated, now pay $8
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 2, 2022
31:45 Digital Identity
TLDR basically what’s taking so long is that bot farming is profitable, so we need to create containers where real humanity is verified and can’t be farmed (and it should be on a decentralized/soveirgn/privacy protecting substrate)

42:55 Gobblers Analysis
https://dune.com/pandajackson42/art-gobblershttps://dune.com/pandajackson42/art-gobblers
44:00 How it Works
Art Gobblers is a decentralized art factory owned by aliens.
As artists make cool art, Gobblers gains cultural relevance, making collectors want the art more, incentivizing artists to make cooler art.
It's also an on-chain game.

This week in Congress and Crypto: It is not too often a podcast is the talk of the town in DC, but the @BanklessHQ debate between @SBF_FTX and @ErikVoorhees was just that. As a former Hill staffer who worked on crypto legislation and current lobbyist, here are some thoughts…

1:20:40 Vitalik on Regulation
Should I publicly blab my opinions about crypto regulation more? Feels unfair to let other people get attacked by CT but never actually poke my own head out.

1:24:18 Verified Accounts
The future of ‘Verified Accounts✅’ is not going to be a top-down, centrally-permissioned system
The times are changing
Bottom up, community-oriented mechanisms are in.
