Bill Talks to Dan Tapiero

Originally aired on May 23, 2026

Bill Barhydt, the host of Money Talks, talks to Dan Tapiero, CEO and managing partner of 10T Holdings, a growth equity venture capital firm. They discuss the future of proof of work versus proof of stake, the risks for Ethereum, and the scalability of Lightning.

Proof of work will likely only be used for Bitcoin
Technology competition between chains is important for crypto
