Wow, this was such a fun episode! I learned a TON, and Giacomo's passion and energy is off the charts! He has a unique way of captivating your attention and explaining complex topics really clearly, and his use of anecdotes and analogies really helped drive his points home. I had no idea all the various projects and initiatives he worked on during his career, so just hearing his background and history was a "wow" moment for me. I didn't fully appreciate the history of the Plan B Network and how it actually came about. Also didn't understand the background on Tether, and his discussion of stable coins in general was super informative. Loved his take on "blockchain hype" and also his overview of RGB and Taproot (I learned a ton about those as well). I absolutely loved some of his phrases and analogies such as using the word "distort" when referring to printing more fiat (print more = distort more). I found your discussion on Bitcoin "purity" fascinating and literally wrote down these two lines: "when you grow, you have to compromise on purity", and my favorite line of the episode was his analogy of rock and roll acceptance with "you cannot have adoption and purity at the same time". Giacomo is the cool, fun and really smart teacher everyone hopes to see show up in the front of their classroom. Really fun and educational episode! Loved it!
