BULLPEN ROUNDUP : The 'Trump Pump', Fall Of FriendTech & MegaEth Centralization
Description
This week Sal, Dave and Zen get together for another Bullpen roundup to give their thoughts on current events in crypto. They discuss the attempted assassination of Trump, appointment of his crypto friendly VP and the pump in crypto markets that has entailed. They also go into the fall from grace that Friendtech has suffered since launch, whether there is any point in developers building net new apps given the poor run of attempts over the past few years - and finally we compare Monad, MegaEth and Berachain and ask the question whether the Ethereum community has capitulated on their values.
