This week, Anna chats with Brian Fabian Crain, a fellow podcaster from Epicenter, founder of Chorus One and an early member of the Berlin crypto community. The conversation starts from Brian’s early involvement in Bitcoin in 2013 and his role in the local Berlin community, leading him to launch the Epicenter podcast. Brian then tells his story of founding Chorus One, a validator whose history is tightly connected to that of Cosmos as a whole, finally moving into the present day of bridges, liquid staking and the future of Proof of Stake blockchains.
