Is there any particular reason why this was chosen? 3:08 Do you think the merge is likely to affect the validity of Ethereum ETL in any way? 3:35 For context, could you briefly explain what the Ethereum merge is and its significance for the future of blockchain technology? 4:15 How do you think the merge is likely to affect the way Nansen conducts its analysis on blockchain tech? 4:26 Could you briefly explain what L2 solutions are and how they may be affected by the merge? 5:08 Alan Chiu, the CEO and Founder of Boba Network, has recently said that L2s will become more efficient as Ethereum L1 does the same. Do you think this is true? 6:16 Nansen’s CEO Alex Svanevik also said that there might be a lot less usage of other blockchains post-merge, but that they may be able to find their own niches in the ecosystem then.

Do you think they have changed or altered their strategies in any way? 9:45 What do you think of NFT projects going Creative Commons-Zero? 10:08 There have been many rug-pull NFT projects that have cost investors a lot of money. What would you say are the tell-tale signs to look out for to avoid such a situation? 10:50 Recently, there have been a lot of celebrities and even companies like Starbucks, who have come up with their own NFT collection. What are your thoughts on this? 11:14 Now that Ethereum is apparently much more environmentally-friendly, how do you think this will affect the NFT scene? 11:47 What are some of the use cases of NFTs that you think can help bridge it further into the mainstream? #Coinlive #Interview #Trader #Web3 #Blockchain #Bitcoin #BTC #Ethereum #ETH #Cardano #ADA #Solana #gamefi #web3gaming #digitalcurrency #DAOs #smartcontracts #nansen
