Gasless Crypto, Finding Narrative Market Fit, and Surviving Hype Cycles | Jack O'Holleran, Skale

In this episode, we are joined back Jack O'Holleran to unpack the potential of gas-free blockchains and why these are necessary for mass adoption. We also explore the double-edged sword of "narrative market fit" in crypto, discussing how hype can both help and hinder true innovation. The conversation then shifts to the importance of building for crypto's endgame, the challenges of building in crypto, and how macroeconomic and political factors could shape the industry's trajectory.
