This week our Roundtable discussion will be more of a heads-up discussion between Karim and Brent as Mike decided it was more important to try to win poker tournaments! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  We kick things off with some cryptocurrency updates for Cardano, Nano, Ethereum's Casper, and Vechain. Our RT topic was inspired by John Oliver’s recent “Astroturfing” episode, a topic we’ve discussed on the podcast before. Can we believe anything anymore? And why does Brent finish the episode feeling that Karim destroyed his childhood? Well we can’t say its mostly good news…..but we had fun debating!
