<p>Hester Peirce is one of five SEC Commissioners. She's been a Commissioner since 2018, with her term ending in 2025. Peirce, a previous podcast guest of Bankless, consistently makes first principles statements and is known to often dissent for her colleagues on crypto-related actions…we talk about that in today’s episode. These are a couple of many reasons why we enjoy her and her guidance so much. </p> <p>------<br /> ✨ DEBRIEF | Unpacking the episode: <br /> <a href= "https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/debrief-hester-peirce">https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/debrief-hester-peirce</a> <br /> <br /> ------<br /> ✨ COLLECTIBLES | Collect this episode: <br /> <a href= "https://collectibles.bankless.com/mint">https://collectibles.bankless.com/mint</a> </p> <p>------<br /> We’re three months into 2023 in one of the worst regulatory environments we’ve seen for crypto in the United States. In today’s episode, SEC Commissioner, Hester Peirce shares some insight on what crypto could be like if we had a first principles SEC, what a security is and how we can define it, and how can crypto take its share of the responsibility to move this industry forward. </p> <p>Commissioner Peirce was on the show two years ago…Apr 12, 2021.

<p>Brian Armstrong is the CEO and Founder of Coinbase. Coinbase started in 2012 as simply a custodial Bitcoin wallet and has grown into the massively successful publicly traded company that we know today. </p> <p>------<br /> ✨ DEBRIEF | Unpacking the episode: <br /> <a href= "https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/debrief-brian-armstrong-coinbase">https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/debrief-brian-armstrong-coinbase</a> <br /> <br /> ------<br /> ✨ COLLECTIBLES | Collect this episode: <br /> <a href= "https://collectibles.bankless.com/mint">https://collectibles.bankless.com/mint</a> </p> <p>------<br /> In this episode, we go over everything you wanted to know from Brian—his reflections on 2022 and his outlook on crypto moving forward. We cover the regulatory situation in America, how SBF infiltrated our halls of power, why Coinbase launched a chain in the worst regulatory environment we’ve ever seen, Wall Street’s understanding of Coinbase, and Brian’s best advice for the settlers and builders sticking around during this crypto winter.</p> <p>The last time we had Brian on the podcast was in November of 2021. We’ve come such a long way since then…and more recently, he also hopped into a livestream with us in the middle of the FTX collapse last November. It was so good to have him back on, enjoy!</p> <p>------<br /> 📣 RhinoFi | Makes DeFi Frictionless <br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/rhino">https://bankless.cc/rhino</a> </p> <p>------<br /> 🚀 JOIN BANKLESS PREMIUM: <br /> <a href= "https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/subscribe">https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/subscribe</a> </p> <p>------<br /> BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: </p> <p>⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum">https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum</a> </p> <p>🐙KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/kraken">https://bankless.cc/kraken</a> </p> <p>🦄UNISWAP | ON-CHAIN MARKETPLACE<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/uniswap">https://bankless.cc/uniswap</a> </p> <p>👻 PHANTOM | #1 SOLANA WALLET<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/phantom-waitlist">https://bankless.cc/phantom-waitlist</a> </p> <p>🦊METAMASK LEARN | HELPFUL WEB3 RESOURCE<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/MetaMask">https://bankless.cc/MetaMask</a> </p> <p>------<br /> Topics Covered</p> <p>0:00 Intro<br /> 8:18 Learnings From 2022<br /> 13:05 Brian’s Thoughts on SBF<br /> 14:37 FTX’s Affect on Coinbase<br /> 19:44 Crypto’s Backlash <br /> 24:06 SBF’s Sneaky Political Game<br /> 28:55 The Optimistic Long Game <br /> 32:29 Organizing Voters & Crypto 435 <br /> 38:50 Staking, Derivatives, & Crypto Securities<br /> 43:42 Why U.S. Crypto Regulation is Bad <br /> 46:38 Stabelcoins<br /> 53:17 Coinbase’s L2 Base <br /> 59:28 Coinbase’s Long Game<br /> 1:02:38 The Future Products of Base<br /> 1:07:25 Coinbase’s NFT Platform<br /> 1:10:41 Base Token?!<br /> 1:11:22 Does Wall Street Understand $COIN? <br /> 1:15:52 5-10 Year Coinbase Vision <br /> 1:17:45 Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS) <br /> 1:21:17 One River Acquisition<br /> 1:23:55 Decentralizing Coinbase<br /> 1:26:00 Crypto in 2030<br /> 1:28:20 Were Brians's Crypto Expectations Met?<br /> 1:30:06 Advice to Builders<br /> 1:32:34 Closing, Action Items, & Disclaimers</p> <p>------<br /> Resources:</p> <p>Brian Armstrong<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/brian_armstrong">https://twitter.com/brian_armstrong</a> </p> <p>Coinbase<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/Coinbase">https://twitter.com/Coinbase</a> </p> <p>Crypto 435 <br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/coinbase/status/1630592674020335617">https://twitter.com/coinbase/status/1630592674020335617</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.
