David Heinemeir Hansson is the Co-Founder of Basecamp & HEY. DHH is a best-selling author, technologist—responsible for creating Ruby on Rails—and a recent crypto skeptic, turned crypto-curious experimenter.
DHH recently wrote a viral blog post titled, “I Was Wrong, We Need Crypto” in which he explains why he’s skeptical of crypto, what ultimately changed his mind, and how he’s thinking about the future of the space going forward.
It’s not every day Bankless brings on a crypto skeptic, but DHH is different. He provides a balanced—well thought out perspective on what the current state of crypto is and what needs to change to make it go mainstream.

On this episode of Overpriced JPEGs, Carly is joined by Erick Calderon aka Snowfro, the legendary founder of Art Blocks and creator of Chromie Squiggles!
What is the Art Blocks paradox? While the rest of us weather a bear market, Art Blocks is living in a bull market world all their own. Erick explains why that is, talks about the curation process for Art Blocks, and gives his thoughts on fxhash.
As always, we hope you enjoy the conversation!

Zeneca_33 is back for another Moment of Zen(eca) episode! Zeneca was missed, but he shall never be forgotten. On this episode, Zeneca reminds us why he’ll never be forgotten and why he’s our favorite recurring guest on Overpriced JPEGs (Jon Rogers too!).
This week Carly and Zeneca get into how the macro landscape has shifted since Zeneca’s last time on, which A-list celebrities launched projects and their chances of survival, ultra hot blue chip activity. Lastly, Carly shares some spicy crypto Twitter takes and gets Zeneca’s reaction to them!
