Beyond Bitcoin Ep 48 (audio)- Ethereum 2.0 and the Merge, Purge, Verge and Splurge. The largest blockchain is going ESG with the promise of faster transactions and better gas fees.

The ETH 2.0 Merge may be one of the greatest technical challenges in blockchain today, it will bring ETH into the ESG realm for institutional investors and it promises to increase speed and potentially decrease gas costs.  All of this would be a breakthrough for the future of Defi, Web 3.0 and Metaverse.  In this podcast, we break down the steps, discuss the economic impact and talk through investor considerations.  Enjoy.
