In this extra special episode, the boys interrogate Network Age co-host and Uqbar founder ~timluc-miptev about his forthcoming article on the IndustryDollar, which powers the trad economy, and the BlockDollar, which powers a a blockchain-enriched economy. They explore how the two systems handle marginal costs, equity financing, and lending, as well as what new forms will be enabled by blockchain-empowered content creation and why the IndustryDollar isn't dead. All this plus Axl Rose, Tahiti, and a few too many jokes about "hardness".
