A blockchain you can build any app on top of 7:02

Eth trades efficiency for transparency 10:18

Like plain text, Eth is simple and efficient 12:41

There are ways to get back your privacy 19:32

Can Eth provide a high level of decentralization and a high level of scaling at the same time? 20:39

Sharding leads to more centralization 21:49

Verifiability at the expense of scaling 24:00

How much decentralization is the right amount? 25:11

What happens when subsidies to join nodes disappear? 27:07
