Cities and the Blockchain – Crypto Critics' Corner

Episode 5: Goes bust – Innovated: Blockchain City
In Blockchain City Goes Bust Cas Piancey once again travels to Storey County in an attempt to understand how this utopian vision had crumbled and to hopefully finally get an interview with someone at Blockchains. Bennett Tomlin and Cas both take a look at the reaction of the locals to the project, the discussions in the legislature, and try to understand how Governor Sisolak and Jeffrey Berns misjudged the demand for these new ‘Innovation Zones’.
