The Internet Plumbers with Richard Shorten of GlobalStake, TWB 30

This episode hits the full spectrum of blockchain, folks. From the efficacy and need of memecoins to the ever-growing importance of the physical infrastructure layer, Richard Shorten from GlobalStake joined Quile and A-Bomb in a wide-ranging discussion. Show Takeaways: * GlobalStake aims to build a decentralized infrastructure for crypto, moving away from reliance on cloud services. * They are the tech for big, institutional players. Think ETFs - but down to the infra layer with nodes and validators, and that really bespoke approach to creating a network. * GlobalStake emphasizes the physical layer of infrastructure and finds it is crucial for the long-term success of crypto. * Shorten notes that decentralization is important, but there are trade-offs between decentralization and performance: “The physical layer matters.” * Storage solutions are becoming increasingly critical in the blockchain ecosystem. * Institutions are starting to recognize the value of crypto beyond just Bitcoin. Shorten believes that meme coins play a role in testing and evolving the crypto ecosystem.
