For my life, I cannot find a source of commentary on current events that isn’t both vapid and clearly partisan. Dan Carlin’s Common Sense podcast used to fit the bill, but that seems to be finished now.

Any good Youtube channels to recommend?

With all the content created there, the must be at least s few amateur commentators with thoughtful and intellectually honest views.

Crypto currencies based on directed acyclic graphs (e.g. IOTA) seem to solve nearly all of the biggest problems with blockchains -- scalability, low or 0 transaction costs, no 51% attack, no need for miners.

DAGs cannot be used for generalized smart contracts, so they are not a competitor for Ethereum. But do they have any disadvantages as compared to Bitcoin and other pure cryptocurrencies?

I assume I'm missing something, because otherwise DAGs seem too good to be true. And so far there has been little attention paid to them by the crypto ecosystem.
