With ApeCoin and a massive inflow of intellectual property, the NFT space is spinning with buzz and speculation about what this all means.</p> <p>Today, we have Zeneca_33, Andy8052, and Scott Lewis joining State of the Nation to get to the bottom of this monumental event. What does this mean for Punks and Apes? What about intellectual property, ownership, and value? And lastly, are we seeing the dawn of a new age of digital monopolies?</p> <p>In this chaotic landscape, a rational and steady approach to understanding is always a winner. </p> <p>------<br /> 📣 ZERION | Trade Across 7 Networks and 500+ protocols<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Zerion">https://bankless.cc/Zerion</a> </p> <p>------<br /> 🚀 SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER: <a href= "https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/">https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/ </a> <br /> 🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST: <a href= "http://podcast.banklesshq.com/">http://podcast.banklesshq.com/ </a> </p> <p>------<br /> BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: </p> <p>👀 POLYGON | LAYER 2 DEFI<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Polygon">https://bankless.cc/Polygon</a> </p> <p>❎ ACROSS | BRIDGE TO LAYER 2<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Across">https://bankless.cc/Across</a> </p> <p>🦊 METAMASK | THE CRYPTO WALLET<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/metamask">https://bankless.cc/metamask</a> </p> <p>💳 LEDGER | THE CRYPTO LIFE CARD<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Ledger">https://bankless.cc/Ledger</a> </p> <p>🧙‍♂️ ALCHEMIX | SELF REPAYING LOANS<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Alchemix">https://bankless.cc/Alchemix</a> </p> <p>🦄 UNISWAP | DECENTRALIZED FUNDING<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/UniGrants">https://bankless.cc/UniGrants</a> </p> <p>------<br /> Topics Covered:</p> <p>0:00 Intro<br /> 8:00 Panelists<br /> 12:03 What CryptoPunks Want<br /> 16:44 Brand Management<br /> 22:01 Applebees<br /> 26:52 Creative Commons License<br /> 32:00 Best Rights Strategies<br /> 40:00 ApeCoin Launch<br /> 46:20 Is $APE Overvalued?<br /> 54:58 Yuga Labs Deck<br /> 1:00:52 Financials vs Monopolies<br /> 1:04:31 $450 Million Raise<br /> 1:06:45 Panelist Projects<br /> 1:10:00 Closing & Disclaimers</p> <p>------<br /> Resources:</p> <p>Scott Lewis:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/scott_lew_is?s=20&t=kXCI6sgHk2MMkG_PZKekSQ"> https://twitter.com/scott_lew_is?s=20&t=kXCI6sgHk2MMkG_PZKekSQ</a> <br /> Zeneca_33:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/Zeneca_33?s=20&t=kXCI6sgHk2MMkG_PZKekSQ">https://twitter.com/Zeneca_33?s=20&t=kXCI6sgHk2MMkG_PZKekSQ</a> <br /> Andy8052:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/andy8052?s=20&t=kXCI6sgHk2MMkG_PZKekSQ">https://twitter.com/andy8052?s=20&t=kXCI6sgHk2MMkG_PZKekSQ</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

<p>What is most important in crypto? What wins out in the end? Today, we find out if user experience is more important than decentralization. As we progress through crypto's cambrian explosion, we often observe the tradeoff between immediate product viability and a 'no cutting corners' approach.</p> <p>Taking the side of UX & a product-first mentality is Cooper Turley, a champion of the creator economy. Kevin Owocki—himself a schelling point for public goods—is defending decentralization and the merits of a values-first approach.</p> <p>While exploring the roots of this tradeoff, we'll learn more about where we are as an ecosystem and where we are inevitably heading.</p> <p>------<br /> 📣 ZERION | Trade Across 7 Networks and 500+ protocols<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Zerion">https://bankless.cc/Zerion</a> </p> <p>------<br /> 🚀 SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER: https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/<br /> 🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST: http://podcast.banklesshq.com/</p> <p>------<br /> BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS:</p> <p>👀 POLYGON | LAYER 2 DEFI<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Polygon">https://bankless.cc/Polygon</a> </p> <p>❎ ACROSS | BRIDGE TO LAYER 2<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Across">https://bankless.cc/Across</a> </p> <p>🦊 METAMASK | THE CRYPTO WALLET<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/metamask">https://bankless.cc/metamask</a> </p> <p>💳 LEDGER | THE CRYPTO LIFE CARD<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Ledger">https://bankless.cc/Ledger</a> </p> <p>🧙‍♂️ ALCHEMIX | SELF REPAYING LOANS<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Alchemix">https://bankless.cc/Alchemix</a> </p> <p>🦄 UNISWAP | DECENTRALIZED FUNDING<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/UniGrants">https://bankless.cc/UniGrants</a> </p> <p>------<br /> Timestamps:</p> <p>0:00 Intro<br /> 5:45 Decentralization vs. Usability<br /> 10:15 Learnings with New Users<br /> 19:19 How Will Crypto Change the World?<br /> 25:10 Not Compromising on Values<br /> 32:25 Do Users Care About Values?<br /> 36:00 Where/When to Compromise<br /> 39:13 The Importance of DevTooling<br /> 41:00 Crypto's Trojan Horse<br /> 43:36 What Good UX Looks Like<br /> 48:55 Lowest Hanging UX-Fruit<br /> 50:39 How This All Comes to Fruition<br /> 53:11 2022 Crypto W Wishlist</p> <p>------<br /> Resources:</p> <p>Cooper on Twitter:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/Cooopahtroopa">https://twitter.com/Cooopahtroopa</a> </p> <p>Kevin on Twitter:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/owocki">https://twitter.com/owocki</a> </p> <p>Foundation:<br /> <a href= "https://foundation.app/">https://foundation.app/</a> </p> <p>Soundxyz:<br /> <a href= "https://www.sound.xyz/">https://www.sound.xyz/</a> </p> <p>Mirror:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/viamirror">https://twitter.com/viamirror</a> </p> <p>Snapshot:<br /> <a href= "https://snapshot.org/#/">https://snapshot.org/#/</a> </p> <p>Gnosis Safe:<br /> <a href= "https://gnosis-safe.io/">https://gnosis-safe.io/</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

<p class="p1">Tarun Chitra, in addition to being Founder and CEO of Gauntlet, is a gigabrain, polymath type in the Ethereum space. His fluency in mathematics results in a creative, almost artistic approach to a traditionally rigorous and analytical field.</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">Perhaps related to his search for beauty, Tarun observes the structural changing of massive systems happening in the broader geopolitical ecosystem today. We explore the relationship between regulation and finance in a unique light. Finance itself is fundamentally a legal practice—it’s money plus law.</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">Finance becomes more elegant with smart contracts, and we muse on the idea that broader governance structures can improve with smart contracts as well. Is code law? Can we generalize capital efficiency?</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">------</p> <p class="p1">📣 OPOLIS | Sign Up to Get 1000 $WORK and 1000 $BANK</p> <p class="p3"><a href= "https://bankless.cc/Opolis">https://bankless.cc/Opolis</a><span class="s1"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">------</p> <p class="p1">🚀 SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER:<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span> <a href="https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/"><span class= "s2">https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/</span></a><span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p class="p1">🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST: <span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span> <a href= "http://podcast.banklesshq.com/"><span class= "s2">http://podcast.banklesshq.com/</span></a><span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">------</p> <p class="p1">BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS:<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM</p> <p class="p3"><a href= "https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum">https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum</a><span class="s1"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">🍵 MATCHA | SMART ORDER ROUTING</p> <p class="p3"><a href= "https://bankless.cc/Matcha">https://bankless.cc/Matcha</a><span class="s1"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">🚀 SLINGSHOT | LAYER 2 SOCIAL TRADING</p> <p class="p3"><a href= "https://bankless.cc/Slingshot">https://bankless.cc/Slingshot</a><span class="s1"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">🏦 GEMINI | TURN FIAT INTO CRYPTO</p> <p class="p3"><a href= "https://bankless.cc/Gemini">https://bankless.cc/Gemini</a><span class="s1"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">🦁 BRAVE | THE BROWSER NATIVE WALLET</p> <p class="p3"><a href= "https://bankless.cc/Brave">https://bankless.cc/Brave</a><span class="s1"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">🦄 UNISWAP | DECENTRALIZED FUNDING</p> <p class="p3"><a href= "https://bankless.cc/UniGrants">https://bankless.cc/UniGrants</a><span class="s1"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">------</p> <p class="p1">Topics Covered:</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">0:00 Intro</p> <p class="p1">4:30 Tarun Chitra</p> <p class="p1">8:15 New York City & Boom Cities</p> <p class="p1">14:00 Global Crypto</p> <p class="p1">18:00 Leapfrogging the US</p> <p class="p1">27:45 Governance & Regulation</p> <p class=&#34

<p>Sam Bankman-Fried—or simply SBF—is the founder and CEO of FTX, one of crypto’s biggest exchanges. In this episode, we dive into how Sam built a company worth $30 billion… in less than three years! And before the age of 30!</p> <p>As a centralized exchange unicorn, FTX has exploded into the mainstream, sponsoring massive sports arenas and partnerships with celebrities like Tom Brady. The mainstream-ification of FTX culminated with its Super Bowl ad with Larry David, which had a significant cultural impact on FTX and crypto more broadly.</p> <p>Is Sam on Team DeFi? Or is FTX a competitor? And what about banks? SBF also recently appeared in front of Congress. After this discussion, we are increasingly convinced of the alignment between Bankless and SBF.</p> <p>------<br /> ✨ DEBRIEF ✨ | Ryan & David's Unfiltered Thoughts on the Episode<br /> <a href= "https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/debrief-sbf">https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/debrief-sbf</a> </p> <p>------<br /> 📣 OPOLIS | Sign Up to Get 1000 $WORK and 1000 $BANK<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Opolis">https://bankless.cc/Opolis</a> </p> <p>------<br /> 🚀 SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER: <a href= "https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/">https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/</a> <br /> 🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST: <a href= "http://podcast.banklesshq.com/">http://podcast.banklesshq.com/ </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>🍵 MATCHA | SMART ORDER ROUTING<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Matcha">https://bankless.cc/Matcha</a> </p> <p>🚀 SLINGSHOT | LAYER 2 SOCIAL TRADING<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Slingshot">https://bankless.cc/Slingshot</a> </p> <p>🏦 GEMINI | TURN FIAT INTO CRYPTO<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Gemini">https://bankless.cc/Gemini</a> </p> <p>🦁 BRAVE | THE BROWSER NATIVE WALLET<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Brave">https://bankless.cc/Brave</a> </p> <p>🦄 UNISWAP | DECENTRALIZED FUNDING<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/UniGrants">https://bankless.cc/UniGrants</a> </p> <p>------<br /> Topics Covered:</p> <p>0:00 Intro<br /> 5:30 SBF<br /> 9:13 Building Successful Products<br /> 15:56 Why Sam is in Crypto<br /> 20:40 Crypto Values & Opportunity<br /> 25:27 Use Cases & Decentralization<br /> 31:04 The Future of FTX<br /> 37:18 FTX vs DeFi<br /> 41:16 SBF’s Preferred Blockchains<br /> 45:12 Sam’s Legendary Tweet<br /> 53:30 FTX vs Banks<br /> 56:46 Regulation<br /> 1:03:45 Talking to Congress<br /> 1:06:02 Spectrum of Decentralization<br /> 1:10:05 Super Bowl Ads<br /> 1:16:34 Mainstream Crypto & NFTs<br /> 1:21:30 Building Wealth<br /> 1:24:45 Giving Everything Away<br /> 1:27:45 Crypto Price Predictions<br /> 1:31:27 Crypto 5 Years from Now</p> <p>------<br /> Resources:</p> <p>SBF on Twitter<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/SBF_FTX">https://twitter.com/SBF_FTX</a> <br /> FTX<br /> <a href="https://ftx.com/en">https://ftx.com/en</a> <br /> Sam’s Legendary Tweet<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/SBF_FTX/status/1347964322459262977">https://twitter.com/SBF_FTX/status/1347964322459262977</a> <br /> FTX Super Bowl Commercial<br /> <a href= "https://youtu.be/BH5-rSxilxo">https://youtu.be/BH5-rSxilxo</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

<p>A lot has changed since we had Kyla on Bankless almost a month ago. Russia invaded Ukraine and the ripple effects are being felt worldwide. Kyla's written a few posts on what's been unfolding thus far. Most recently she wrote, "Financial Warfare: Russia-Ukraine," breaking down Fortress Russia, sanctions, energy, agriculture, and the strength of Ukrainians.</p> <p>For those unfamiliar with Kyla, she's an independent, Gen Z friendly, new age content creator with a fantastic newsletter and youtube channel. In addition, she is the BanklessHQ TikTok correspondent, dropping weekly recaps of the crypto world.</p> <p>------<br /> 📣 OPOLIS | Sign Up to Get 1000 $WORK and 1000 $BANK<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Opolis">https://bankless.cc/Opolis</a> </p> <p>------<br /> 🚀 SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER: <a href= "https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/">https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/</a> <br /> 🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST: <a href= "http://podcast.banklesshq.com/">http://podcast.banklesshq.com/</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>🍵 MATCHA | SMART ORDER ROUTING<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Matcha">https://bankless.cc/Matcha</a> </p> <p>🚀 SLINGSHOT | LAYER 2 SOCIAL TRADING<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Slingshot">https://bankless.cc/Slingshot</a> </p> <p>🏦 GEMINI | TURN FIAT INTO CRYPTO<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Gemini">https://bankless.cc/Gemini</a> </p> <p>🦁 BRAVE | THE BROWSER NATIVE WALLET<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Brave">https://bankless.cc/Brave</a> </p> <p>🦄 UNISWAP | DECENTRALIZED FUNDING<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/UniGrants">https://bankless.cc/UniGrants</a> </p> <p>------<br /> Timestamps:</p> <p>0:00 Intro<br /> 7:30 Being in Putin Shoes<br /> 13:20 Financial Sanctions<br /> 23:15 Putin’s Escape Hatch?

<p>David Heinemeir Hansson is the Co-Founder of Basecamp & HEY. DHH is a best-selling author, technologist—responsible for creating Ruby on Rails—and a recent crypto skeptic, turned crypto-curious experimenter.</p> <p>DHH recently wrote a viral blog post titled, “I Was Wrong, We Need Crypto” in which he explains why he’s skeptical of crypto, what ultimately changed his mind, and how he’s thinking about the future of the space going forward.</p> <p>It’s not every day Bankless brings on a crypto skeptic, but DHH is different. He provides a balanced—well thought out perspective on what the current state of crypto is and what needs to change to make it go mainstream.</p> <p>------<br /> ✨ DEBRIEF ✨ | Ryan & David's Unfiltered Thoughts on the Episode<br /> <a href= "https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/debrief-i-was-wrong-we-need-crypto"> https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/debrief-i-was-wrong-we-need-crypto</a> </p> <p>------<br /> 📣 OPOLIS | Sign Up to Get 1000 $WORK and 1000 $BANK<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Opolis">https://bankless.cc/Opolis</a> </p> <p>------<br /> 🚀 SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER: <a href= "https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/">https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/</a> <br /> 🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST: <a href= "http://podcast.banklesshq.com/">http://podcast.banklesshq.com/</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>🍵 MATCHA | SMART ORDER ROUTING<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Matcha">https://bankless.cc/Matcha</a> </p> <p>🚀 SLINGSHOT | LAYER 2 SOCIAL TRADING<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Slingshot">https://bankless.cc/Slingshot</a> </p> <p>🏦 GEMINI | TURN FIAT INTO CRYPTO<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Gemini">https://bankless.cc/Gemini</a> </p> <p>🦁 BRAVE | THE BROWSER NATIVE WALLET<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Brave">https://bankless.cc/Brave</a> </p> <p>🦄 UNISWAP | DECENTRALIZED FUNDING<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/UniGrants">https://bankless.cc/UniGrants</a> </p> <p>------<br /> Topics Covered:</p> <p>0:00 Intro<br /> 6:20 Who is DHH<br /> 14:02 Crypto Observations<br /> 17:00 DHH’s Top Crypto Skepticisms<br /> 29:55 How to be Wrong About Things<br /> 37:00 What Changed DHH’s Mind<br /> 45:50 Pushback on DHH’s Post<br /> 52:50 The Release Valves<br /> 1:02:00 New Skills Needed<br /> 1:11:20 Other Crypto Rabbit Holes<br /> 1:17:44 Russian Sanctions<br /> 1:24:50 What Crypto Can Do Better<br /> 1:29:50 What’s Next in Crypto For DHH<br /> 1:33:50 Closing & Disclaimers</p> <p>------<br /> Resources:</p> <p>DHH on Twitter:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/dhh">https://twitter.com/dhh</a> </p> <p>DHH’s Website:<br /> <a href="https://dhh.dk">https://dhh.dk</a> </p> <p>Episode #55:<br /> <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpzFU7MW5y4">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpzFU7MW5y4</a> </p> <p>DHH Books:<br /> <a href= "https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/23587.David_Heinemeier_Hansson?from_search=true&from_srp=true"> https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/23587.David_Heinemeier_Hansson?from_search=true&from_srp=true</a> </p> <p>I Was Wrong We Need Crypto:<br /> <a href= "https://world.hey.com/dhh/i-was-wrong-we-need-crypto-587ccb03">https://world.hey.com/dhh/i-was-wrong-we-need-crypto-587ccb03</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

Few things compare to ETH Denver. It is impossible to fully capture the experience of the crypto community at a massive gathering like this, but these two choice talks provide a snapshot of the vibes and ethos of the 2022 conference. Kevin Owocki and Erik Voorhees join to synthesize the respective merits of individualism and collectivism, and Andrew Yang stepped up to give an impromptu call to action for the community to rally around productive goals. <p>We are scaling out the crypto vibes, and that was abundantly clear this week. Far larger than any previous ETH Denver, this conference truly felt like a Schelling point for folks changing the world via novel, elegant mechanisms. We just can’t wait for ETH Denver 2023.</p> <p>------<br /> 📣 NOTIONAL FINANCE | DeFi's Leading Fixed Rate Yield<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Notional">https://bankless.cc/Notional</a> </p> <p>------<br /> 🚀 SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER: <a href= "https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/">https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/</a> <br /> 🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST: <a href= "http://podcast.banklesshq.com/">http://podcast.banklesshq.com/</a> </p> <p>------<br /> BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: </p> <p>👀 POLYGON | LAYER 2 DEFI<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Polygon">https://bankless.cc/Polygon</a> </p> <p>❎ ACROSS | BRIDGE TO LAYER 2<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Across">https://bankless.cc/Across</a> </p> <p>🦊 METAMASK | THE CRYPTO WALLET<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/metamask">https://bankless.cc/metamask</a> </p> <p>💳 LEDGER | THE CRYPTO LIFE CARD<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Ledger">https://bankless.cc/Ledger</a> </p> <p>🧙‍♂️ ALCHEMIX | SELF REPAYING LOANS<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Alchemix">https://bankless.cc/Alchemix</a> </p> <p>🦄 UNISWAP | DECENTRALIZED FUNDING<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/UniGrants">https://bankless.cc/UniGrants</a> </p> <p>------<br /> Topics Covered:</p> <p>0:00 Intro<br /> 12:01 Journey to ETH Denver<br /> 16:18 The Panels<br /> 22:37 Vibes</p> <p>34:00 Kevin Owocki & Erik Voorhees<br /> 43:28 Pragmatism<br /> 50:57 Public Goods Funding</p> <p>1:00:00 Andrew Yang & Crypto Alignment<br /> 1:06:31 Lobby3<br /> 1:13:53 Roadmaps & Executive Orders<br /> 1:22:14 Action & Optimism<br /> 1:27:45 Audience Questions</p> <p>------<br /> Resources:</p> <p>Kevin on Twitter:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/owocki?s=20&t=O_vNoy9YMBatb8lIbf9ByA">https://twitter.com/owocki?s=20&t=O_vNoy9YMBatb8lIbf9ByA</a> </p> <p>Erik on Twitter:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/ErikVoorhees?s=20&t=O_vNoy9YMBatb8lIbf9ByA"> https://twitter.com/ErikVoorhees?s=20&t=O_vNoy9YMBatb8lIbf9ByA</a> </p> <p>Andrew on Twitter:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/AndrewYang?s=20&t=O_vNoy9YMBatb8lIbf9ByA">https://twitter.com/AndrewYang?s=20&t=O_vNoy9YMBatb8lIbf9ByA</a> </p> <p>Lobby3:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/Lobby3D?s=20&t=q417PS_HIJMGmpXqJYhPVg">https://twitter.com/Lobby3D?s=20&t=q417PS_HIJMGmpXqJYhPVg</a> </p> <p>Take the Green Pill:<br /> <a href= "https://greenpill.party/">https://greenpill.party/</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

<p>In their seminal 'Big Ideas' report for 2022, the ARK team predicts the prices of $1M for Bitcoin and over $180K for Ether. These numbers may seem outrageous in a short time frame, but with a broader perspective about the total addressable market for cryptoassets over the next decade, these ambitious predictions sharpen into something more than exuberance.</p> <p>With paradigm shifts underway, we're bringing on ARK analysts Frank Downing and Yassine Elmandjra to discuss the why, how, and when of these hot price predictions–and why it's more than just the price that matters.</p> <p>How bullish are you?

Is D.C. taking crypto seriously? Congressman Tom Emmer shares the latest from the ongoings in Washington. Minnesota Representative Emmer is a 4th term member of the House of Representatives. He sits on the House Financial Services Committee and is a dedicated crypto advocate. Many of us have preconceived notions that the majority of the government is anti-crypto. Representative Emmer explains why this isn’t entirely true. We also unpack what’s at stake here. What happens if we get crypto policy wrong? How do we defeat the super-shadowy-legislators? Should we follow in China’s Digital Yuan footsteps? <p>Lastly, Representative Emmers shares that Bankless—yes—Bankless is having an impact in Washington! Find out in what way and how we’re going to continue crypto-pilling everyone in Washington.</p> <p>------<br /> ✨ DEBRIEF ✨ | Ryan & David's Unfiltered Thoughts on the Episode<br /> <a href= "https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/debrief-crypto-in-washington-congressman"> https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/debrief-crypto-in-washington-congressman</a> </p> <p>------<br /> 📣 ZERION | Trade Across 7 Networks and 500+ protocols<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Zerion">https://bankless.cc/Zerion</a> </p> <p>------<br /> 🚀 SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER: <a href= "https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/">https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/</a> <br /> 🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST: <a href= "http://podcast.banklesshq.com/">http://podcast.banklesshq.com/</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>🍵 MATCHA | SMART ORDER ROUTING<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Matcha">https://bankless.cc/Matcha</a> </p> <p>🚀 SLINGSHOT | LAYER 2 SOCIAL TRADING<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Slingshot">https://bankless.cc/Slingshot</a> </p> <p>🏦 GEMINI | TURN FIAT INTO CRYPTO<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Gemini">https://bankless.cc/Gemini</a> </p> <p>🦁 BRAVE | THE BROWSER NATIVE WALLET<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Brave">https://bankless.cc/Brave</a> </p> <p>🦄 UNISWAP | DECENTRALIZED FUNDING<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/UniGrants">https://bankless.cc/UniGrants</a> </p> <p>------<br /> Topics Covered:</p> <p>0:00 Intro<br /> 6:00 Rep.

<p>The Boys Club is a DAO-in-training that is building products, resources, and communities to make the crypto space a more welcome place for women. Crypto has traditionally not been a particularly women-friendly place, with a sub-culture of basement-dwelling libertarian bros. But that is changing.</p> <p>There are an increasing number of ways to break into crypto, and the Boys Club is tackling this head on. Natasha Hoskins and Deana Burke are co-founders of the community, and they note that women have far more presence at IRL crypto events than on the internet. And Boys Club members rep the Boys Club. Hard.</p> <p>With a strong mission, sound goals, and immaculate vibes, the Boys Club have already blazed trails, but there is a strong future ahead of them.</p> <p>------<br /> 📣 ZERION | Trade Across 7 Networks and 500+ protocols<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Zerion">https://bankless.cc/Zerion</a> </p> <p>------<br /> 🚀 SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER: <a href= "https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/">https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/</a> <br /> 🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST: <a href= "http://podcast.banklesshq.com/">http://podcast.banklesshq.com/</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>🍵 MATCHA | SMART ORDER ROUTING<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Matcha">https://bankless.cc/Matcha</a> </p> <p>🚀 SLINGSHOT | LAYER 2 SOCIAL TRADING<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Slingshot">https://bankless.cc/Slingshot</a> </p> <p>🏦 GEMINI | TURN FIAT INTO CRYPTO<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Gemini">https://bankless.cc/Gemini</a> </p> <p>🦁 BRAVE | THE BROWSER NATIVE WALLET <br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Brave">https://bankless.cc/Brave</a> </p> <p>🦄 UNISWAP | DECENTRALIZED FUNDING<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/UniGrants">https://bankless.cc/UniGrants</a> </p> <p>------<br /> Topics Covered:</p> <p>0:00 Intro<br /> 4:30 Natasha & Deana of Boys Club<br /> 8:52 Onboarding Women Into Web3<br /> 15:56 The Boys Club Vibe<br /> 22:56 But What IS Boys Club?<br /> 26:34 The Name<br /> 28:41 Lessons in Scaling<br /> 33:40 More than Mining<br /> 36:10 What Women Have that Crypto Needs<br /> 40:30 Pet Peeves<br /> 42:42 Interviewing Each Other<br /> 49:14 I Think This Is For You<br /> 52:02 Maximally Successful Boys Club<br /> 56:41 Sharing Stories<br /> 59:28 How to Get Involved</p> <p>------<br /> Resources:</p> <p>Natasha on Twitter<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/natashaghoskins?s=20">https://twitter.com/natashaghoskins?s=20</a> <br /> Deana on Twitter<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/medeana?s=20">https://twitter.com/medeana?s=20</a> <br /> Boys Club on Twitter<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/BoysClubCrypto?s=20">https://twitter.com/BoysClubCrypto?s=20</a> <br /> BoysClub.vip<br /> <a href="https://boysclub.vip/">https://boysclub.vip/</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.
