Aki: Hey, all.
Laura: If you're a listener in Seoul, South Korea, I will be doing a book event there for the Korean translation of my book, which in Korean is titled Ethereum Billionaires. It's on August 19th at 7 PM atchemistry spelled kemistri in Gangnam. You can go to the pinned post on my Twitter profile to RSVP at the luma link. And there's also a link to buy the book for 10% off at Kyobo book. And we will also have books there for you to buy at 20% off at the event.
Come and ask me a question or get your book signed or just hang out with other crypto people in Seoul. Again, for all the details and to RSVP at the Luma link, check out the pinned post on my Twitter, and we will also be putting the link in the newsletter starting next week. Hope to see you then.
Aki: And it's done great. But everybody who uses WBTC, the traders who trade it, the retail who holds it, everybody knows that it has sort of one kind of design flaw.
Laura: Hey, everyone. Laura here. We recorded the show in advance since I was headed out on vacation. And of course, afterward, news regarding WBTC broke that's highly relevant to the show. I did manage to get a written answer from Aki about the news, which we were able to insert ahead of publication.
So just FYI, the news about WBTC is not referenced to anywhere else except in that part of the recording. And now, onto the show. Hi, everyone. Welcome to Unchained, your no hate resource for all things crypto. I'm your host, Laura Shin, author of The Cryptopians.
