  • what impact ETH’s more deflationary nature will have on BTC’s narrative as digital gold

  • why Ethereum is the settlement layer for the internet of value

  • whether there is a winner take all dynamic in the blockchain industry

  • why Ethereum is more secure than Bitcoin, according to Justin
