Vitalik Buterin returns to the Podcast to discuss his recent article 'Moving Beyond Coin Voting Governance.' As always, Vitalik comes with a birds-eye view of high level challenges facing the crypto space with a moral & philosophical slant. Building sufficiently decentralized governance mechanisms is a hugely challenging endeavor. Tackling elegant solutions to coin voting, we also cover the benefits of running your own node, the metaverse, and an update on the Ethereum narrative. When Vitalik comes on Bankless, it's time to listen closely. ------- 🚀 SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER: https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/  🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST: http://podcast.banklesshq.com/  ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: ⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum  🍵 MATCHA | DECENTRALIZED EXCHANGE AGGREGATOR https://bankless.cc/Matcha  🔐 LEDGER | SECURE YOUR ASSETS https://bankless.cc/Ledger  🦄 UNISWAP | DECENTRALIZED FUNDING https://bankless.cc/UniGrants  ------ 📣 TracerDAO | Perpetual Pools are now Live on Aribtrum! https://bankless.cc/Tracer  ------ Topics Covered: 0:00 Intro 4:00 Vitalik Returns! 7:26 Decentralized Governance 14:38 Who is Governance For? 19:44 Coordinating Public Goods 26:07 Public Goods & Upgrades 34:52 New Mechanisms 38:28 What is Blockchain Governance? 47:53 Ungovernance for Layer 1 54:00 Why Coin Voting Sucks 1:02:20 Whales 1:12:15 Running Your Own Node 1:22:14 Culture & Technology 1:26:51 Scalability Tradeoffs 1:31:05 The Metaverse & Loot 1:36:55 Update on Ethereum 1:43:15 Closing & Disclaimers ------ Resources: Vitalik on Twitter https://twitter.com/VitalikButerin?s=20  Moving beyond coin voting governance https://vitalik.ca/general/2021/08/16/voting3.html  ----- Not financial or tax advice.
