Podcast - Dan Larimer: EOS - The Decentralized Operating System - Epicenter 197
Great interview / podcast with Dan Larimer I listened to on the drive in this morning. His knowledge and comfort speaking about this brave new world we're moving to is extraordinary.
Clearly a lot of background work is going into ensuring that EOS is a solid offering when it launches with the ability to have additional EOS applications launching at the same time.
I'm long on EOS and long on Dan's work.
