Show Notes Chapter Markers

In this SPOTLIGHT episode of Tech Intersect, I selected a recent conversation with crypto investigative reporter Laura Shin, from part 2 of my 100th episode. First, it’s one of the most popular to date. And second, Laura just released her book, The Cryptopians: Idealism, Greed, Lies, and the Making of the First Big Cryptocurrency Craze. So, I thought this would be a great time to share this insightful and engaging chat about the past, present and future of crypto and the rise, controversies, promise, pitfalls and transformative impact of Ethereum on crypto, NFTs, defi and beyond.

And today, Laura dropped an exclusive interview with Forbes to share her conclusion about who hacked The DAO in 2016, diverting 3.6 million ether. She identifies the apparent hacker by following a complicated trail of crypto transactions and using a  privacy-cracking forensics tool.
