> no one could have watched that and thought he was a serious person

Again, I have to agree. It also happened to be the first (and I believe the only) time a saw SBF "in action". Of course I knew who he was, but seeing that Erik was going to debate him, was what made me watch that podcast.

That Bankless podcast with the ETH maxis! Seriously, watching SBF fail to put together any semblance of a cohesive thought or argument was scary to watch. At that point you can't forget he was advising an/or talking with Congress about legislation. Then less than a month later FTC imploded. I still think that debate had some serious impact, no one could have watched that and thought he was a serious person.

Yeah I saw that and it was one of the things that got me interested in his perspective.

> Erik always sounds exceptionally lucid to me.

I have to agree. He debated SBF about FTX on some podcast before the whole thing blew up and made it abundantly clear (to me, at least) that it would do so.
