In Episode 249 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with Nathaniel Whittemore, host of \\u201cThe Breakdown\\u201d a podcast distributed by CoinDesk, which focuses on the big picture power shifts in the economy and society, seen through the lens of crypto. It\\u2019s also the largest daily analysis podcast in the bitcoin and crypto space and one that Demetri has relied on to sort through the daily noise and to get a sense of its community\\u2019s cultural attitudes and narratives for years.

Demetri asked Nathaniel to come onto the podcast today to help him make sense of the events that have transpired in crypto over the last week, including the collapse of Terra Luna and its algorithmically maintained stablecoin UST. But they also discuss the overall state of the market and the implications and consequences of collapses like LUNA\\u2019s for other stablecoins, as well as for regulation and participation in the space.

Lastly, the two share their perspectives on what Demetri considers to be crypto\\u2019s biggest vulnerability, which is its use as a life raft for a generation of younger investors who see it as their ticket out of the hamster wheel of policy-induced financial inequality and modern-day serfdom. What eventually becomes of these people\\u2014their disaffection and its manifestation in American political life is a question that they also consider.\\xa0
