In Episode 145 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with Camila Russo, the host of the Defiant podcast and author of \\u201cThe Infinite Machine,\\u201d the first official account of the rise of the Ethereum blockchain.

The first 25 minutes of this conversation explores Camila\\u2019s experience working as a journalist in Argentina, how she got interested in covering cryptocurrencies, as well as her process for writing such an ambitious book. The rest of the episode deals mostly with the book itself, including a discussion about the ICO craze of 2017 and the impact that it\\u2019s had on Ethereum, it\\u2019s developer community, and investor appetite for funding new ventures and initiatives in the space.

This part of the conversation continues into the overtime, where we also debate whether or not the ICO model itself is the ideal mechanism by which to fund early-stage, open source innovations. We also discuss what it\\u2019s like to be a journalist covering crypto today, how the media industry in crypto has changed in the years since the onset of the 2018 bear market, and the opportunities for more sophisticated, high-quality journalism in the space going forward.
