Sorry, Jenna, Maybe This NFT Will Help

A man proposes with an NFT and, surprisingly, it doesn't go well. Skippy and Doogles get some listener mail that has Chamath Palihapitiya podcasting his way back into Skippy's psyche — this time through a criticism of investing in Alibaba. This takes the conversation back into China and all the continuing happenings over there (e.g., risks of VIEs, video game restrictions, corporate "donations"). Skippy calls out the Renaissance Technologies billionaires that got hit with a massive $7 billion tax bill, and then gives a shout out to a recent Lex Fridman podcast that did a great job of covering blockchain and Bitcoin. The episode wraps with a discussion of SEC Chairperson Gary Gensler putting banning payment for order flow "on the table."
