DFINITY hasn't yet seen major DeFi, Social-fi, or Game-fi elements. Platforms optimized for such features are still waiting for token standard(s). So why the wait and what will the token economy look like on ICP?Our Blog on this topic: https://medium.com/infinityswap/how-the-token-economy-will-power-internet-computer-adoption-information-on-infinityswaps-4e38706bd2baMain Forum Post on Token Standards: https://forum.dfinity.org/t/fungible-token-standard-community-consideration/6158/4 Ideas on the limiting aspects of an ERC-20-like Token Standard: https://forum.dfinity.org/t/thoughts-on-the-token-standard/4694Security Considerations for a Token Standard: https://forum.dfinity.org/t/thoughts-on-the-token-standard/4694/65

Endorphin, DFINITY's newest initiative to create a crypto-friendly and open operating system for end-user devices is officially a go. Plenty of Web3 projects have tried this, all with no success. Here's what's different this time around and what it means for ICP.

DFINITY's ICP distribution and utility are some deep topics. Hopefully, this clears them up.Follow us on Twitter:@dfinityscan @cloudedlogic @evan_mcfarland_

The Internet Computer's launch in a nutshell. Best moments and concepts from DFINITY's Mercury Genesis event.

Cosmos, Skale, Elastos, and other projects were mentioned by our community as DFINITY competitors.

As we wait on documentation from DFINITY foundation, we cover the recent news as it's been too good to pass up. We chat about and explain the Wall Street Bets, Gamestop, and Robin Hood fiasco and why it is ultra bullish for Web3/DFINITY ICP. The chat led us to wealth inequality and how DFINITY's ecosystem and DeFi would evolve finance into something more fair and inclusive.

What's driving this bull run? DeFi, Web3 coins, or Crypto IPOs? What can historical crypto bubble cycles and the current narrative tell us about where this is going? How will the circumstances of the crypto markets impact the DFINITY launch? All that and more in this episode.00:00....................................................intro01:20....................................................why are crypto valuations growing04:45....................................................what phase are we in & some history07:00....................................................changing narratives and why this cycle is different11:50....................................................preferred coins and strategies for this cycle14:40....................................................Web3 vs. DeFi for the future19:20....................................................DFINITY vs. Ethereum for the long term27:00....................................................Speculating on DFINITY's ICP "cycle"

In recent weeks, we've seen an all time high as it relates to censorship. The president of the United States was banned from twitter and a number of free speech platforms were taken off the cloud.Andrew & Evan discuss the impact open platforms like the Internet Computer can have on censorship.Follow us on Twitter and Instagramhttps://twitter.com/dfinityscanhttps://www.instagram.com/dfinityscan/

The initial public launch of the Internet Computer has occurred. This release came along with a 67min medium article from DFINITY founder Dominic Williams. Right now, the "public" launch is visible only behind closed doors, making what it means for the community a bit cryptic. This episode runs through the major milestones that lead us to the Mercury launch and all the new information and timeline for what's coming.Follow us on:icp.reporthttps://twitter.com/dfinityscanhttps://www.instagram.com/dfinityscan/

Two organizations, both led by free-thinking innovators with products initiating a sector-wide paradigm shift. Tesla in 2005 shares a striking resemblance to Dfinity in 2020.

Price data from Dfinities early funding rounds are hard to find and vary based on what currency or cryptocurrency it is compared to. In this episode, we cover all the prices and market cap valuations for Dfinity over the course of its history. We also explain DFN(IOU), the futures coin for Dfinity which is the only tradable "token" around.

The two biggest and most legitimate Web3 projects around today are Polkadot and Dfinity. Decentralizing the Internet is the goal of both these projects but each has mutually exclusive philosophies on how to do it. This podcast does an overview of each to figure out which crypto/blockchain project has the right idea.Check out the deep dive version with Evan here:https://youtu.be/J8tXcy3dW0o00:00.......................................................Intro01:20.......................................................What is Polkadot03:50.......................................................What Dfinity does instead of Polkadot04:52.......................................................Polkadot shards and Substrate06:35.......................................................Open vs. Closed-source ethos10:10.......................................................Performance comparisons13:20.......................................................Are these centralized or decentralized projects?15:20.......................................................Business perspective on Polkadot
