This week: the Queen on green, iron in batteries, how do you solve a problem like Facebook, and dismantling Apple’s beautiful walled App Store.

After our non-sponsor, we talk This Week in Crypto, including SEC-approved Bitcoin ETFs, BoE on crypto systemic risk, Jonathan votes in a DAO, and the metaverse of the commons.

Then in This Week in NFTs: Coinbase vs OpenSea, Shiboshi gas panic, turning down $9.5M for a CryptoPunk, NFT logins, Proof of Attendance; and we close out with CryptoPunk or CryptoFunk.
