Ridley Scott is best known for helming such blockbusters as \"Gladiator\", \"Alien\", \"Blade Runner\", \"Thelma & Louise\", among many others.\nIn this episode of The Scoop, Camila Russo recounts how her personal experience using crypto in South America showed her the advantages of decentralized systems and shares some striking revelations from time spent researching the origins of Ethereum.\nAccording to Russo, an important early dispute among Ethereum's eight cofounders centered around Ethereum's business model:\n\"It was, 'Are we are we building a foundation to encourage building on top of this open source platform?' or, 'Are we building a for-profit company that's going to make tons of apps on top of this protocol?' . . . At the end of that, Vitalik had to make the call, and he decided that this would be a nonprofit foundation.\"\nOne takeaway Russo hopes readers get from her book is the idea that \"there is an alternative being built,\" when it comes to things like the internet (web3) and our financial system (DeFi).\nAs of yet, there is no release date for the film adaptation of \"The Infinite Machine,\" although the community has created an NFT collection to raise funds for the film.\n\nThis episode is brought to you by our sponsors Circle, Railgun, Flare Network, NordVPN\nAbout Circle\nCircle is a global financial technology company helping money move at internet speed.
