    Oct 18 2024
    How do you determine the value of decentralized networks like Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Solana? It’s not as straightforward as traditional investments.

Also, he looks at the big question—are these networks sustainable in the long run? Show highlights: What motivated Jon to write the paper What the main points of the paper are Why tax inefficiencies in staking rewards are a critical factor in valuing decentralized networks and how they differ from traditional corporate taxes What makes valuing networks tricky, as Jon explains how proof-of-work vs. proof-of-stake systems differ from traditional equity models How he thinks about valuing Layer 2s and whether they are parasitic to the L1 Whether blockchains are sustainable in the long term Visit our website for breaking news, analysis, op-eds, articles to learn about crypto, and much more: unchainedcrypto.com Thank you to our sponsors!
