    A blockchain you can build any app on top of 7:02

    Like plain text, Eth is simple and efficient 12:41

    Only high-value transactions can afford the blockchain 13:08

    Doing away with 'trusted' third parties 14:09

    Trading performance for security 14:43

    'Impregnable castles made of math' 16:23

    Verifiability at the expense of scaling 24:00

    How much decentralization is the right amount? 25:11

    What happens when subsidies to join nodes disappear? 27:07

    Stateless clients make it possible to verify the chain with very little on your hard drive 28:18

    What if we froze Layer 1 today? 37:25

    Data for computation trade-off 38:57

    Benchmarking blockchains apples-to-apples 40:02
