Where Max Documents His Betrayal

Max is leaving Ethereum, and we have the details. On this Gwart Show special recorded at @PubKey in NYC, Max and Eugene join Gwart to go through Max’s decision to leave Ethereum dev shop Consensys in favor of a Solana client which frankly we don’t know how to spell or pronounce. We go through Ethereum’s major problems basically one-by-one in this 1.5 hour show, finishing with a Holiday Special game of ‘cooked or not cooked’ narratives.
