A recently released batch of emails between IOTA and the Digital Currency Initiative at MIT, prompts the CryptoBasic team to release this rapid response BasicBlitz episode to explore the controversy in depth. Sit down with Brent and Karim as they cover the entire exchange and do their best to convey the general tone and substance on both sides. And since this Blitz episode is being published so closely to our IOTA 101 episode, the boys give us some additional context from a recent in depth interview with IOTA’s David Sostenbo. Who was right? What have we learned? Tune in to find out.
