<p>Last week was unprecedented, to say the least. Several, yes that’s right, not 1, not 2, but several ETH Futures ETFs launched last week for the first time in the U.S.! </p> <p>What does this mean for crypto? Volumes have been surprisingly low. Is it a surprise? Will volumes pick up? Regardless, of whether they do or don't, what do all of these ETH ETFs mean for crypto? Are Bitcoin ETFs next? </p> <p>We brought on Eric Balchunas to help us answer the above and much more. is an analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence focused on exchange-traded funds.

<p>Danny Ryan is a coordinator at the Ethereum Foundation. He’s been on Bankless many times before. Usually, we’re talking about the Ethereum roadmap and what’s coming next. This time we’re talking about something different…a risk to Ethereum that Danny sees. A little over a year ago, Danny wrote a blog post titled “The Risk of LSDs”... discussing the various risk vectors that a dominant LSD presents to Ethereum…even naming Lido specifically in the process. </p> <p>------<br /> ✨ DEBRIEF | Ryan & David unpacking the episode:<br /> <a href= "https://www.bankless.com/debrief-danny-ryan">https://www.bankless.com/debrief-danny-ryan</a> </p> <p>------<br /> A lot of people have decided that liquid staking with Lido is the place to do it. At the time of recording Lido has over 30% of all staked Ether. Does this present a systemic risk to Ethereum?</p> <p>We did an episode called, “In Defense of Lido” with researcher Hasu who argued that Lido does not pose a systemic risk to Ethereum. In fact, Lido’s dominance is better than many other alternatives. We left that conversation half-finished when we published it in August 2023. </p> <p>In today’s episode, we cover part two of that debate with Ethereum researcher and guest Danny Ryan who argues the opposite. Lido is a systemic risk to Ethereum and what to do about it.</p> <p>We believe our role as podcasters for issues like this is to voice both sides of the argument in long-form conversations and healthy debate. It is exactly the kind of thing you don’t get on Twitter. That’s why we’ve given voice to both sides of this issue. </p> <p>We think there are good actors who care about this ecosystem at Lido and in the broader Ethereum community and we’re sure this episode won’t be the last word on this subject.</p> <p>-----<br /> 🏹 Airdrop Hunter is HERE, join your first HUNT today<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/JoinYourFirstHUNT">https://bankless.cc/JoinYourFirstHUNT</a> </p> <p>------<br /> 📣 a16z Startup School | Apply Before Oct. 20th<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/a16z-startup-school">https://bankless.cc/a16z-startup-school</a> </p> <p>------<br /> BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS:</p> <p>🐙KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE<br /> ⁠<a href= "https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2%C2%A0%20%E2%81%A0">https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2 ⁠</a></p> <p>🦊METAMASK PORTFOLIO | MANAGE YOUR WEB3 EVERYTHING<br /> <a href= "%E2%81%A0https:/bankless.cc/MetaMask">⁠https://bankless.cc/MetaMask </a></p> <p>⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM<br /> ⁠<a href= "https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum">https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum</a></p> <p>🗣️TOKU | CRYPTO EMPLOYMENT SOLUTION<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Toku">https://bankless.cc/Toku</a> </p> <p>🦄UNISWAP | ON-CHAIN MARKETPLACE<br /> ⁠<a href= "https://bankless.cc/uniswap">https://bankless.cc/uniswap </a></p> <p>🔗 CELO | CEL2 COMING SOON<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Celo">https://bankless.cc/Celo</a> </p> <p>------<br /> TIMESTAMPS</p> <p>0:00 Intro<br /> 7:41 Is Lido a Threat to Ethereum<br /> 8:57 Blog Post Thinking Change?<br /> 19:30 Uniswap<br /> 21:20 Theoretical Main Risks<br /> 25:45 God Mode <br /> 27:20 Practical Main Risks<br /> 34:00 Hasu Counter-Arguments <br /> 38:25 Permissionless Validator Set Mitigation<br /> 42:30 Veto Power Mitigation Argument<br /> 46:55 How Likely is the Lido Risk?<br /> 51:26 Client Team Positioning <br /> 55:00 How Special is the Lido Case? <br /> 57:45 One LST Inevitability <br /> 1:02:30 Solutions <br /> 1:06:55 Profit Maximization <br /> 1:09:00 Action Steps For Ethereum Decentralization <br /> 1:11:53 Can Ethereum Devs Do Something? <br /> 1:20:10 Hasu Questions Answered by Danny <br /> 1:22:45 Magnitude of the Lido Threat<br /> 1:24:20 How Can Lido Fix This? <br /> 1:25:59 Stick & Carrot for Lido<br /> 1:26:27 Silverlining of Lido Threat<br /> 1:29:05 Next Conversations <br /> 1:32:16 Closing & Disclaimers </p> <p>-----<br /> RESOURCES</p> <p>Danny Ryan<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/dannyryan">https://twitter.com/dannyryan</a> </p> <p>Danny Ryan Blog Post<br /> <a href= "https://notes.ethereum.org/@djrtwo/risks-of-lsd">https://notes.ethereum.org/@djrtwo/risks-of-lsd</a> </p> <p>Hasu’s Bankless Interview<br /> <a href= "https://youtu.be/IfuUdIblfrY"&gt

<p>Sergey Nazarov is the co-founder of Chainlink. Chainlink, you might know as the price oracles for DeFi… providing DeFi with the data it needs to know prices. More ambitious than just prices, Chainlink is aiming to become the interoperability layer between all of TradFi and all of DeFi, acting as a gateway between onchain and offchain data. We’re going to explore that vision today on Bankless. </p> <p>------<br /> ✨ DEBRIEF | Ryan & David unpacking the episode:<br /> <a href= "https://www.bankless.com/debrief-sergey-nazarov-chainlink">https://www.bankless.com/debrief-sergey-nazarov-chainlink</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> 🏹 Airdrop Hunter is HERE, join your first HUNT today<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/JoinYourFirstHUNT">https://bankless.cc/JoinYourFirstHUNT</a> </p> <p>------<br /> 📣 LayerZero | Accelerating Web3 Interoperability via GoogleCloud<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/layer-zero">https://bankless.cc/layer-zero</a> </p> <p>------<br /> BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS:</p> <p>🐙KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE<br /> <a href= "%E2%81%A0https:/k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2">⁠https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2</a> ⁠</p> <p>🦊METAMASK PORTFOLIO | MANAGE YOUR WEB3 EVERYTHING<br /> ⁠<a href= "https://bankless.cc/MetaMask">https://bankless.cc/MetaMask </a></p> <p>⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM<br /> ⁠<a href= "https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum%C2%A0%20%E2%81%A0">https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum</a></p> <p>🗣️TOKU | CRYPTO EMPLOYMENT SOLUTION<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Toku">https://bankless.cc/Toku</a> </p> <p>🦄UNISWAP | ON-CHAIN MARKETPLACE<br /> ⁠<a href= "https://bankless.cc/uniswap">https://bankless.cc/uniswap</a> </p> <p>🔗 CELO | CEL2 COMING SOON<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Celo">https://bankless.cc/Celo</a> </p> <p>------<br /> TIMESTAMPS</p> <p>0:00 Intro<br /> 7:30 The Chainlink Vision <br /> 13:59 Offchain Computation <br /> 20:35 Why Chainlink Is Here<br /> 28:20 Offchain Trust Maximization Technicalities <br /> 31:31 Oracle Networks <br /> 38:53 Dynamic Automated Inception Marketplaces<br /> 45:45 CCIP <br /> 1:08:20 Why Swift Is Important<br /> 1:14:45 Banks to Blockchains <br /> 1:25:18 DTCC Explained <br /> 1:31:58 5 Levels of Crosschain Security <br /> 1:38:40 Crypto in 2030 <br /> 1:44:40 Closing & Disclaimers </p> <p>-----<br /> RESOURCES</p> <p>Chainlink<br /> <a href="https://chain.link">https://chain.link</a> </p> <p>CCIP <br /> <a href= "https://chain.link/cross-chain">https://chain.link/cross-chain</a> </p> <p>The Five Layers of Cross-Chain Security<br /> <a href= "https://blog.chain.link/five-levels-cross-chain-security/">https://blog.chain.link/five-levels-cross-chain-security/</a> </p> <p>SmartCon Virtual Signup <br /> <a href= "https://smartcon.chain.link/virtual">https://smartcon.chain.link/virtual</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

<p>Solana on Ethereum? Solana has a virtual machine called the SVM. Proponents say it’s much better than the Ethereum EVM…multi-threaded execution…now it’s coming to Ethereum in the form of an L2. </p> <p>Today on the show, we brought on CEO & Co-Founder of Eclipse, Neel Somani. Eclipse is not only a new L2 on the scene, it’s also an L2 framework, kind of like the OP Stack. It’s a superchain contender. </p> <p>This poses some very interesting questions….who wins?

<p>Dom, aka Domothy, is a researcher at the Ethereum Foundation who is working on the research and development of some key Ethereum protocol upgrades like EIP4844, danksharding, and MEV Burn. We last had Dom on Bankless about that last one, MEV Burn, and this time we’re bringing him around to fully understand an incoming new property of Ethereum that EIP4844 is going to introduce… a new resource market… called BLOBspace… kind of like Blockspace… but for Blobs!</p> <p>What are blobs? What is Blobspace? How is it different from blockspace and blockspace markets? What will it do for Ethereum and its rollups? These are the questions we explore with Dom today. </p> <p>------<br /> ✨ DEBRIEF | Ryan & David unpacking the episode:<br /> <a href= "https://www.bankless.com/debrief-blobspace">https://www.bankless.com/debrief-blobspace</a> </p> <p>You know how we say blockchains sell blocks?

It’s going to be selling blobs too. </p> <p>We’re just a few months out from the biggest Ethereum release since the merge and no one’s fully mapped out the implications. But it’s going to be huge. </p> <p>- Ethereum’s getting a new product to sell… it’s called Blobspace<br /> - The cost of transacting on L2s is about to drop toward zero…<br /> - The economics of ETH gas and the burn are about to change forever…</p> <p>Blobspace, EIP4844, proto-danksharding…that’s what the geeks call this new ETH feature upgrade. </p> <p>This is everything you need to know about Blobspace with Ethereum Researcher Domothy in this absolute banger of an episode. </p> <p>------<br /> 🎁 Check your wallet with our brand new tool: Claimables <br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/GetClaimables">https://bankless.cc/GetClaimables</a> </p> <p>------<br /> 📣 AAVE V3 is Here!<br /> <a href="http://app.aave.com/">http://app.aave.com/</a> </p> <p>------<br /> BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS:</p> <p>🐙KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE<br /> ⁠<a href= "https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2%C2%A0%20%E2%81%A0">https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2 ⁠</a></p> <p>🦊METAMASK PORTFOLIO | MANAGE YOUR WEB3 EVERYTHING<br /> ⁠<a href= "https://bankless.cc/MetaMask">https://bankless.cc/MetaMask </a></p> <p>⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM<br /> ⁠<a href= "https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum">https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum</a> ⁠</p> <p>🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Mantle">https://bankless.cc/Mantle</a> ⁠</p> <p>🦄UNISWAP | ON-CHAIN MARKETPLACE<br /> ⁠<a href= "https://bankless.cc/uniswap">https://bankless.cc/uniswap </a></p> <p>🗣️TOKU | CRYPTO EMPLOYMENT SOLUTION<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Toku">https://bankless.cc/Toku</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> TIMESTAMPS</p> <p>0:00 Intro<br /> 7:20 Why We’re Doing This Episode<br /> 8:45 Blobspace <br /> 9:40 History of Blobspace <br /> 11:30 Sharding & Dead Ends <br /> 14:00 Execution Sharding <br /> 16:50 Layers of a Blockchain<br /> 21:00 Ethereum Rollups <br /> 22:50 Vitalik’s Thought Process <br /> 26:10 Ethereum Development Hidden Genius<br /> 30:00 Current State of Ethereum <br /> 34:00 What is a Blob?<br /> 39:25 Blobspace Explained <br /> 44:20 Validator’s Perspective <br /> 47:00 Data Availability vs. Storage <br /> 56:31 User’s Perspective <br /> 1:00:30 How a Blob Becomes a Blob<br /> 1:04:00 Properties of Full Danksharding <br /> 1:05:20 New Math & Tech Behind Blobs? <br /> 1:12:00 L2 Blobspace & Scaling Factors <br /> 1:15:40 Blobspace Economics <br /> 1:20:00 Block vs. Blobspace Balancing <br /> 1:23:20 L2s Competing For Blobspace <br /> 1:32:10 Ethereum Subsidiaries <br /> 1:39:00 What’s Next?<br /> 1:41:30 Closing & Disclaimers</p> <p>-----<br /> RESOURCES</p> <p>Domothy <br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/domothy">https://twitter.com/domothy</a> </p> <p>Domothy article on Blobspace<br /> <a href= "https://domothy.com/blobspace/">https://domothy.com/blobspace/</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

<p>In this episode, we delve into the world of DeSci, or Decentralized Science, which serves as a bridge between technologies like Synthetic Biology, Longevity, and Ethereum. DeSci aims to revolutionize the current scientific system, highlighting its flaws such as friction, corruption, and outdated practices. By utilizing blockchain technology, DeSci seeks to improve scientific institutions and processes.</p> <p>The conversation with pioneers Boris Dyakov and Mikey Fischer sheds light on the vast potential of DeSci and its ability to transform scientific progress. It goes beyond mere improvement, presenting a paradigm shift in the way science is conducted. The second conversation with Alok Tayi of VibeBio illustrates a fascinating use case for using DeSci to solve diseases that are underserved in TradSci.</p> <p>DeSci envisions open and modular scientific data, akin to the accessibility of financial tools in the blockchain world. Additionally, the emergence of DAOs in DeSci brings opportunities for capital allocation and funding clinical trials. Join us on this exploration of the frontier of Scientific Progress, where traditional and decentralized science collide.</p> <p>------<br /> Timestamps</p> <p>0:00 Intro<br /> 1:30 Scientific Progress</p> <p>5:30 BORIS & MIKEY<br /> 8:50 Overcoming TradSci<br /> 13:00 Open Science<br /> 16:25 VitaDAO<br /> 19:00 What is DeSci?<br /> 23:23 Bullish on Science<br /> 28:30 Onboarding Scientists<br /> 34:00 The New Infrastructure<br /> 35:00 AI and Science</p> <p>43:00 ALOK TAYI<br /> 44:10 Vibe Bio<br /> 47:00 The Long Tail of Disease<br /> 52:00 Inflection Points<br /> 54:00 Solving Disease<br /> 59:45 The Power of DAOs<br /> 1:07:45 Governance and Structure<br /> 1:11:30 The Crypto Value Add<br /> 1:14:00 Regulation<br /> 1:19:00 A New Primitive</p> <p>------<br /> Resources</p> <p>Boris Dyakov<br /> https://twitter.com/BJ_Dyakov?s=20</p> <p>Mikey Fischer<br /> https://twitter.com/0xMikeyF?s=20</p> <p>Alok Tayi<br /> https://twitter.com/aloktayi?s=20</p> <p>DeSci Ethereum Foundation<br /> https://ethereum.org/en/desci/</p> <p>Gitcoin DeSci Fund<br /> https://bounties.gitcoin.co/grants/5105/the-decentralized-science-community-fund</p> <p>Vibe Bio<br /> https://www.vibebio.com/</p> <p>------<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

<p>In today’s podcast, Justin Drake and Tim Beiko help us explore Ethereum's uncharted roadmap. </p> <p>You know about EIP-4844. You know about Proposer-Builder Separation. But the Ethereum roadmap does not stop there. It continues! Each component of the Ethereum roadmap has deeper frontiers than what you may be familiar with. 4844, PBS, these are just the first stops on a longer track of Ethereum’s Sci-Fi roadmap. </p> <p>Other areas Justin, Tim, and David explore statelessness, how VCs are subsidizing Ethereum L1 R&D efforts, enshrined rollups, how all of this stuff leads to Ethereum needing fewer and fewer honest actors to work trustlessly, what quantum computing has to do with the Ethereum roadmap, trustless mempools and so much more. </p> <p>-----<br /> 🏹 Airdrop Hunter is HERE, join your first HUNT today<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/JoinYourFirstHUNT">https://bankless.cc/JoinYourFirstHUNT</a></p> <p>------<br /> BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS:</p> <p>🐙KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE<br /> <a href= "%E2%81%A0https:/k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2">⁠https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2</a> ⁠</p> <p>🦊METAMASK PORTFOLIO | MANAGE YOUR WEB3 EVERYTHING<br /> ⁠<a href= "https://bankless.cc/MetaMask">https://bankless.cc/MetaMask</a> </p> <p>⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM<br /> ⁠<a href= "https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum">https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum</a> ⁠</p> <p>🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Mantle">https://bankless.cc/Mantle</a> ⁠</p> <p>👾POLYGON | VALUE LAYER OF THE INTERNET<br /> <a href= "https://polygon.technology/roadmap">https://polygon.technology/roadmap</a> </p> <p>🗣️TOKU | CRYPTO EMPLOYMENT SOLUTION<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Toku">https://bankless.cc/Toku</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> TIMESTAMPS</p> <p>0:00 Intro<br /> 5:50 Ethereum Roadmap Completion<br /> 8:30 Immediate Dev Priorities <br /> 9:50 Danksharding & Rollups as 1st Class Citizens <br /> 11:50 Why Prioritize L2s <br /> 14:50 Snarkifying the EVM <br /> 17:39 Enshrined Rollup Use Cases <br /> 20:00 EVM to zkEVM<br /> 24:48 Summary So Far <br /> 27:15 EIP-4844 <br /> 28:25 Proposer-Builder Separation<br /> 37:37 MEV Burn<br /> 40:38 Statelessness <br /> 43:33 Cryptography vs. Crypto Economics <br /> 45:00 Quantum Mechanics<br /> 50:25 Statelessness Ethereum Unlock<br /> 53:10 Cryptography & Sustainability <br /> 55:55 Closing & Disclaimers </p> <p>-----<br /> RESOURCES</p> <p>Justin Drake <br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/drakefjustin">https://twitter.com/drakefjustin</a> </p> <p>Tim Beiko<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/TimBeiko">https://twitter.com/TimBeiko</a> </p> <p>Ethereum Discord <br /> <a href= "https://discord.gg/CetY6Y4">https://discord.gg/CetY6Y4</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

<p>In this video, we delve into the frontier of longevity and the pursuit of living forever. The discussion of longevity sparks different reactions among people, with some rejecting the idea outright, deeming it unnatural or immoral.</p> <p>At Zuzalu, two distinct groups emerged—the Health and Wellness tribe, focused on healthy lifestyles, and the longevity tribe, resembling crypto enthusiasts, passionately researching the silver bullet for eternal life.</p> <p>We explore the two conversations of slowing down aging and accelerating rejuvenation, with a particular focus on the latter. Interviews with Patrick Linden, author of "The Case Against Death," Sergio Ruiz, an epigenetic reprogramming expert, and Michael Greer, founder of the Humanity app, shed light on the socio-cultural reactions, DNA reprogramming, and AI-driven longevity scoring.</p> <p>While the pursuit of longevity faces regulatory challenges, its potential to eliminate diseases and revolutionize healthcare holds transformative power.

Our guest, Austin Federa is Head of Strategy at the Solana Foundation and is the host of the Validated podcast. </p> <p>David was recently a guest on Austin’s podcast where they went back and forth on some of the cultural and philosophical differences between the Solana and Ethereum projects.

<p>In this episode, we explore the frontier of crypto in Africa and the immense potential for both the continent and the crypto industry. Africa has a unique ability to leapfrog technologies, just as it skipped landlines and embraced cell phones. The dialogue revolves around crypto adoption in Africa and a network state project called Afropolitan, which aims to build an Afro-centric digital nation.</p> <p>Yoseph Ayele discusses the opportunities that Web3 can provide in terms of financial stability, access, identity services, and credit facilities for Africa. He believes that Africa will be the first to reach a billion Web3 users. Eche Emole shares insights on Afropolitan, highlighting the project's focus on crypto, network states, and the creation of Afro-centric hubs worldwide.</p> <p>Both guests express unwavering optimism and articulate the transformative power of these developments. This engaging and enjoyable discussion sheds light on Africa's trajectory in the crypto landscape and the potential for uplifting individuals and communities.</p> <p>------<br /> 🚀Join Ryan & David at Permissionless II in September.<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/GoToPermissionless">https://bankless.cc/GoToPermissionless</a> </p> <p>------<br /> BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS:</p> <p>🐙KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE<br /> ⁠https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2 ⁠</p> <p>🦊METAMASK PORTFOLIO | MANAGE YOUR WEB3 EVERYTHING<br /> ⁠https://bankless.cc/MetaMask </p> <p>⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM<br /> ⁠https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum ⁠ </p> <p>🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Mantle">https://bankless.cc/Mantle</a> ⁠ </p> <p>👾POLYGON | VALUE LAYER OF THE INTERNET<br /> <a href= "https://polygon.technology/roadmap">https://polygon.technology/roadmap</a> </p> <p>🗣️TOKU | CRYPTO EMPLOYMENT SOLUTION<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Toku">https://bankless.cc/Toku</a> </p> <p>----<br /> Timestamps</p> <p>0:00 Intro<br /> 1:20 Goosebumps</p> <p>5:15 YOSEPH AYELE<br /> 7:55 Why Africa Needs Crypto<br /> 15:15 Bringing Infrastructure<br /> 18:40 Stablecoins and Trust<br /> 22:20 Global Crypto Culture<br /> 28:00 Providing Essential Services<br /> 32:30 Adoption in Africa<br /> 37:00 Leapfrogging Technology<br /> 42:00 Becoming Borderless<br /> 47:45 Raising a Fund</p> <p>53:00 ECHE EMOLE<br /> 55:00 Afropolitan<br /> 1:00:00 Africa is Primed<br /> 1:09:15 The Afropolitan Roadmap<br /> 1:15:45 Redrawing the Maps<br /> 1:19:30 Diaspora<br /> 1:28:45 The Team<br /> 1:33:05 Hope for Crypto</p> <p>------<br /> Resources</p> <p>Yoseph Ayele<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/yosephayele?s=20">https://twitter.com/yosephayele?s=20</a> </p> <p>Afropolitan<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/afropolitan?s=20">https://twitter.com/afropolitan?s=20</a> </p> <p>------<br /> Not financial or tax advice.
