Marc Fleury, Founder and CEO of Two Prime, joins Charlie Shrem on this week’s episode of Untold Stories. They begin by talking about the open source movement and why it is so attractive for developers. Marc continues with comparisons between crypto today and internet and software development in the 90's and makes an amazing alien reveal. Charlie and Marc agree that Bitcoin showed resilience surviving the Mt. Gox debacle. Charlie asks if the earlier open source movement has evangelists like crypto today and Marc discusses the duality of these movements as well as declaring crypto is not about the tech as much as a psychological hurdle holding it back. Marc further states that the killer apps are already here and discusses bringing back the ICO with an improved model, the CTO or Continuous Token Offering. They finish up with a deep dive into the physics of Proof of Work and mining energy expenditures and end on a positive prediction.
