Hi everyone, we are back with another episode of our podcast allowing you to get to know people working behind the scenes of the crypto industry. Today we are joined by Jim Myers, the CTO and Founder of Flipside Crypto. Before Flipside, Jim developed the core technology that took products from 0 to 1 at Mylestone, Pluralsight (IPO), and Smarterer (acquisition).
Welcome to the 177th episode of the Inside Crypto Podcast. This episode was recorded on November 12, 2023. We chatted with Jim about data analytics, the state of the market, AI, and predictions for 2024.
Thanks, everyone for listening, and don’t forget to tune in to 2024 when we speak to Zak Taher, CEO of Multibank.io.
Topics Covered Today:
Jim, earlier this month you released a crypto economy snapshot which has a great summary of what is going on at the moment. I’d like to chat about that for a bit. One of the most interesting details is that Binance Smart Chain continues to have the most daily active users despite everything that has happened. What do you think that is?
Dex Volume peaked at 4.06B on December 9th. I know many people think DEXs will the the mainstay for crypto in the future. Do you think we can expect to see DEXs pull more users in 2024?
Arbitrum pulled in the greatest amount of new users. Do you think L2s will be the main onboarding platforms in the future?
Let’s come back to Flipside. You are our first-ever data analytics platform guest. I’ve spoken on previous podcasts about who these platforms are for but perhaps you could tell us in your own words, who Flipside is for?
Looking at some of the dashboards that have been produced, one thing I like is that it is very colorful and makes it interesting to explore data compared to other platforms but at the same time, I feel the average crypto user would be lost. Are their plans to make Flipside more accessible?
I think one of the most frequent comments I got when I mentioned you were coming on the show was a Chat GPT-like integration for querying dashboards. Is that available now or is it planned in the future?
So our research analyst Tom is a big fan of yours. I loved the previous podcast that you two were on. One of the coolest things you do is pay analysts for dashboards. I was wondering if you could explain how that works.
Is that something you plan to do in perpetuity?
You’re on at a perfect time. 2024 looks to be an exciting time for crypto and I was wondering if you could tease anything that’s coming from Flipside next year.
