In this episode, we're speaking with Toby Shorin, Laura Lotti, and Sam Hart from Other Internet about their most recent article on crypto's three body problem, clarifying some common misconceptions about headless brands, and getting their take on the current state of onchain culture.The idea for this collaboration or interview came about when we had Jon Wu on the podcast last season in S8 E4 which aired on May 9, 2024. In that episode, Jon criticized the concept of a “headless brand” that was coined by the Other Internet team back in 2019, and Toby Shorin responded that Jon's interpretation of “headless brands” was not what the authors had intended when they wrote the article. It turns out that many people have similar interpretations of “headless brands” that Jon had, so it was helpful and productive to give the Other Internet team a chance to clarify what they meant. We then discuss their latest article on crypto's three body problem and give the team a chance to speak about it for the first time since publishing the article, and finally I asked Sam about a spicy post he wrote recently that called out a lot of the current onchain culture for being “completely soulless” and a “cultural wasteland.” ​Toby, Laura, and Sam were nominated for Rehash by Diana Chen and voted onto the podcast by Richie Bonilla, Triumph, fifthworldzach, Tim Black, Birb, Amy Jung, Rachael Amy, and Anay Sim. COLLECT THIS EPISODESUBSCRIBE TO REHASH PODCAST CLUB (RPC) FOLLOW REHASH:TwitterWarpcast (Farcaster)TikTokInstagramNewsletterRehash Podcast Club (RPC)Diana Chen (Host) IMPORTANT LINKS:Toby's WebsiteToby's TwitterLaura's WebsiteLaura's TwitterSam's WebsiteSam's TwitterOther Internet SubstackCrypto's Three Body ProblemRehash S8 E4 | Marketing, Storytelling, and Investing Hot Takes w/Jon Wu TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro3:26 Clarifying “headless brands”9:42 Crypto's Three Body Problem37:14 Current onchain culture is a complete “cultural wasteland”40:24 Why we shouldn't talk about onboarding the masses to crypto42:49 Upcoming new book from Other Internet45:07 Follow Toby, Laura, and Sam DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is the opinion of the speaker(s) only and is for informational purposes only.

In this episode, we're speaking with 0xdesigner about all things design, anonymity, and UX/UI in web3.This is the longest episode in Rehash history, but we had so much to talk about and 0xdesigner graciously gave us almost two hours of his time to share his thoughts on all things consumer crypto, UX improvements, and the design space.0xdesigner is primarily a product designer who has been putting out a new UX/UI design each day for the past 1.5 years, usually some sort of UX or design improvement to an existing app or envisioning a new app.Not only does he have so many clever and creative ideas he shares every day, but he also has so much optimism and enthusiasm for crypto throughout all the highs and lows over the past few years. He truly believes in a future that's enhanced by crypto and blockchain and is focused every day on working toward that goal. 0xdesigner was nominated by Ernest Kou and voted onto the podcast by Brenner Spear, Tom Scaria, Magenta Ceiba, Ernest Kou, Nick Naraghi, Lucas, Birb, Amy Jung, fifthworldzach, Maz, and David Phelps. COLLECT THIS EPISODESUBSCRIBE TO REHASH PODCAST CLUB (RPC) FOLLOW REHASH:TwitterWarpcast (Farcaster)TikTokInstagramNewsletterRehash Podcast Club (RPC)Diana Chen (Host) IMPORTANT LINKS:0xdesigner's Twitter0xdesigner's Warpcast (Farcaster)Design EverydaysPaper Boy (Hypersub) TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro2:25 0xdesigner's background4:00 Anonymity in crypto17:26 Creating a new design every day for 570+ days26:58 When it doesn't make sense to use crypto31:30 Cool new use cases for crypto36:54 0xdesigner's upcoming design projects43:14 What 0xdesigner wishes people knew about design45:42 Why is crypto UX and design so bad?53:45 Why 0xdesigner is always open to testing new apps57:24 Will web3 create new design primitives?1:01:52 Do we need financialization in consumer crypto apps?1:14:34 Every app will be a social app1:28:25 Questions from Twitter1:32:59 Can You Not1:39:59 Follow 0xdesigner DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is the opinion of the speaker(s) only and is for informational purposes only.

In this episode, we're speaking with Rene Lubov, software engineer at Celestia, about data availability (DA), or what Rene prefers to call data publishing.Rene is one of the founding engineers at Celestia and breaks down for us everything we need to know about DA and how it's implemented at Celestia. We also talk about modularity in blockchains, light nodes, and other technical concepts that you may have heard of before but maybe don't have a clear understanding of just yet. She does a great job of explaining all of these concepts clearly.On a more personal level, Rene also shares about her background, how she taught herself to code, what protocol engineering is (hint: it's very different from app development or smart contract coding), what it was like being a founding engineer at Celestia, and her experience as a woman in crypto having joined way back in the early days.Rene was nominated for Rehash by Tina and voted onto the podcast by Tina, Jimmy Chang, Hudson Jameson, Queen Wartooth, and David Phelps. COLLECT THIS EPISODESUBSCRIBE TO REHASH PODCAST CLUB (RPC) FOLLOW REHASH:TwitterWarpcast (Farcaster)TikTokInstagramNewsletterRehash Podcast Club (RPC)Diana Chen (Host) IMPORTANT LINKS:Rene's TwitterCelestiaLazyLedger Whitepaper TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro2:20 What is data availability (DA)?5:15 Why is data availability getting so much attention lately?9:12 How does data availability increase scalability and reduce costs?11:30 Is DA implemented in the blockchain layer or app layer?14:08 What is Celestia?16:20 What is modularity in blockchains?19:18 Is Celestia an L1 or L2?21:49 Future of Celestia22:08 What is a light node?28:25 What is it like being a founding engineer?32:09 How is protocol engineering different from smart contract engineering?35:45 Berlin ETH culture39:26 How Rene became a coder43:36 Twitter questions51:45 Can You Not55:52 Follow Rene DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is the opinion of the speaker(s) only and is for informational purposes only.

In this episode, we're speaking with Bethany Crystal about all things fractional work, using AI to improve learning and workflows, and we wrap up with a quick discussion on the Bitcoin developer ecosystem. Bethany is the web3 fractional work queen, and she shares very openly in this episode about her experience as a fractional worker in web3, what her process looks like, and practical tips for others to think outside of the box about how they want to work.As a mother of two and hobbyist of many things, Bethany has had to think creatively about how she can find the best balance for herself to do all the things she wants to do in life. For her, the answer was fractional work, or working on various projects on a contract or part time basis so that she has time for other aspects of life she enjoys and so that she can have her curiosity constantly satisfied with a variety of projects. She talks about some of the pros and cons to being a fractional worker, the types of people she believes are best suited for the job, and gives us practical tips for identifying our core skillsets and finding work. She also shares some of the ways she's been using AI to aid in her workflow and help her learn new skills at a much faster rate as well.Bethany was nominated by DeFi Beats and voted onto the podcast by DeFi Beats, Parker Jay-Pachirat, Birb, Triumph, fifthworldzach, David Phelps, Spencer Graham, Andy Boyan, and Nick Naraghi. COLLECT THIS EPISODESUBSCRIBE TO REHASH PODCAST CLUB (RPC) FOLLOW REHASH:TwitterWarpcast (Farcaster)TikTokInstagramNewsletterRehash Podcast Club (RPC)Diana Chen (Host) IMPORTANT LINKS:Bethany's WebsiteBethany's BlogThe 4-Box Job Searching GridTime management for fractional workersBethany's TwitterBethany's Warpcast (Farcaster)Building on Bitcoin TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro3:32 What is fractional work?5:09 Bethany's background in fractional work11:35 Pros and cons to fractional work15:44 Tips for promoting yourself as a fractional worker23:15 How to balance life with work26:25 Strategies for finding clients and work32:46 Education x AI36:54 Developing your learning stack44:43 Incorporating AI into your learning stack48:36 Building on Bitcoin L253:08 Can You Not53:40 Follow Bethany DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is the opinion of the speaker(s) only and is for informational purposes only.
