Santiago Siri | Layer Zero

<p>Santiago Siri—or santi.eth on Twitter—is building Universal Basic Income on Ethereum through Proof of Humanity, the project he co-founded. As a community leader in the Ethereum space, Santi comes from Argentina, a country with a rich history of culture, inflation, corruption, resilience, and now… crypto.</p> <p>Recently touring Argentina with Vitalik, Santi reveals fascinating anecdotes from their travels and exemplifies how Argentina is ripe for a crypto revolution. An internet native country with a catastrophic economic past, Argentina is a perfect breeding ground for crypto innovation and adoption.</p> <p>Santi tells the story of Argentina from the second half of the 20th century to today’s landscape, and explains why he’s optimistic that a history of corruption and capital control can blossom into a brighter society with the growth of crypto.</p> <p>------<br /> 📣 ALTO IRA | THE CRYPTO RETIREMENT ACCOUNT<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/AltoIRA">https://bankless.cc/AltoIRA </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 /> 5:00 What Santi Cares About<br /> 9:43 Growing Up in Argentina<br /> 17:30 Inflation & Cascading Events<br /> 30:50 The Argentine Culture<br /> 39:50 The Crypto Bounce<br /> 53:00 Swinging into Collectivism<br /> 1:04:38 Vitalik<br /> 1:10:20 Argentine Crypto Utility<br /> 1:18:54 Proof of Humanity & UBI<br /> 1:34:08 Why Optimistic?<br /> 1:39:24 Closing</p> <p>------<br /> Resources:</p> <p>Santiago on Twitter<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/santisiri?s=20">https://twitter.com/santisiri?s=20 </a> <br /> Proof of Humanity<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/proofofhumanity?s=20">https://twitter.com/proofofhumanity?s=20</a> <br /> Democracy.Earth<br /> <a href= "https://democracy.earth/">https://democracy.earth/ </a> </p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

102 - The Emerging Metaverse | Sam Englebardt & Richard Kim

Sam Englebardt is a co-founder and partner at Galaxy Digital, and is the founding general partner of Galaxy Interactive, which invests in next-generation interactive entertainment. He is also a content producer of film and television, working in a broad range of traditional & digital businesses. Richard Kim is a general partner at Galaxy Interactive, after a stint as COO at Galaxy Digital. <p>These two guests are getting their hands dirty as the gaming, cultural, and technological worlds converge into the Metaverse. Trying to predict, invest, and help build this emerging phenomenon is a massive endeavor, but it’s one that we need to get right.</p> <p>Exploring what the Metaverse actually is, how today’s internet compares to the digital worlds of the future, and optimizing the user experience comprise the core of this discussion—but we open it to understanding the skeptics in the space, as well game economies and tokenomics. Sam and Richard expect to see a mass exodus into the Metaverse over the next couple decades… how are you going to play the Metaverse game?</p> <p>------<br /> 📣 ALTO IRA | THE CRYPTO RETIREMENT ACCOUNT<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/AltoIRA">https://bankless.cc/AltoIRA</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 /> 5:00 Sam & Richard of Galaxy<br /> 8:23 The Year of the Metaverse<br /> 13:33 The Gaming Gateway<br /> 17:09 Skeptical Pioneers<br /> 26:21 Value vs Price<br /> 29:30 Enabling, not Escape<br /> 36:27 Building Stakes that Matter<br /> 43:51 Steak and the Sizzle<br /> 47:45 Creating Meaning in the Metaverse<br /> 55:21 Social Sandboxes & Other Theses<br /> 1:02:55 Viewer Participation<br /> 1:07:54 The Power of Emergence<br /> 1:13:48 How the Thesis Changes<br /> 1:18:40 Overhyped?

Inflation, The Fed, & Macro Markets | Jim Bianco

<p>The Fed has made a big pivot in 2022, but what does that mean for markets? How aggressive does the Fed need to be to fight inflation?</p> <p>With the shift from Quantitative Easing to Quantitative Tightening, how are risk-on assets treated differently from risk-off assets? What's going on with the bond market?</p> <p>Jim Bianco is a seasoned investor, market commentator, and President of Bianco Research. With a sharp view of the past, present, and future, we ask him all these questions in order to know... is the world collapsing?</p> <p>------<br /> 📣 ALTO IRA | THE CRYPTO RETIREMENT ACCOUNT<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/AltoIRA">https://bankless.cc/AltoIRA</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 /> 6::00 Jim Bianco's Back!<br /> 9:17 The Bond Market Got Killed<br /> 14:50 Inflation is a Problem<br /> 18:53 The Fed's Perspective<br /> 27:02 Signaling and Fedspeak<br /> 30:04 Transitory vs Reality<br /> 34:50 Rock and a Hard Place<br /> 43:08 What Should You Pay Attention To?<br /> 48:00 Crypto & Expecations<br /> 53:20 Deflation?<br /> 57:56 Positioning the Portfolio<br /> 1:00:11 A Centralized Metaverse<br /> 1:07:25 Closing & Disclaimers</p> <p>------<br /> Resources:</p> <p>Jim on Twitter:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/biancoresearch?s=20">https://twitter.com/biancoresearch?s=20</a> </p> <p>Bianco Research:<br /> <a href= "https://www.biancoresearch.com/free-trial/?source=TWTR">https://www.biancoresearch.com/free-trial/?source=TWTR</a> </p> <p>Bond Market Thread:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/biancoresearch/status/1480245516009152513?s=20"> https://twitter.com/biancoresearch/status/1480245516009152513?s=20</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

The Song-A-Day Man | Jonathan Mann (Layer Zero)

<p>Jonathan Mann writes and publishes a song every single day. He's done this without missing a day since January 1st, 2009, and holds the Guinness World Record for most consecutive days writing a song.</p> <p>His inspiration, passion, consistency, and all-around charm really comes through as he explores his journey in both music and crypto. Infatuated with the ideas and methodology behind CryptoPunks, he's launched his own NFT project for his daily songs with an accompanying DAO - SongADAO.</p> <p>Creation, labor, value, and scarcity blend together in Jonathan's world. He exemplifies Layer 0 brilliantly -- a mortal human behind lines of code, expressed through music and commitment. When you stretch art this far, cool things emerge.

101 - The Ownership Economy | Li Jin

<p>Li Jin is a co-founder and general partner at Variant, a crypto fund investing in Web3 and what Li calls the Ownership Economy. Li is full of massive ideas about the past, present, and future of digital economies.</p> <p>The core thesis? Next-generation networks grow faster and bigger. The phase we're seeing emerge now with Web3 and crypto is deeply fascinating, with potential to shift power and ownership into the hands of users and creators.</p> <p>In this new paradigm, everyone is a creator, and everyone is an owner. In addition to her work at Variant, Li is also a painter and an accomplished writer on Substack. After her appearance on the Creator Economy Panel, we knew she had to come back on Bankless to dive deep—this time, into the Ownership Economy.</p> <p>------<br /> ✨ DEBRIEF ✨ | Ryan & David's Unfiltered Thoughts on the Episode<br /> <a href= "https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/debrief-the-ownership-economy-li">https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/debrief-the-ownership-economy-li</a> </p> <p>------<br /> 📣 ALTO IRA | THE CRYPTO RETIREMENT ACCOUNT<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/AltoIRA">https://bankless.cc/AltoIRA</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 /> Topics Covered:</p> <p>0:00 Intro<br /> 6:30 Creator vs Ownership Economy<br /> 12:58 Phases of Economies<br /> 17:34 The Web3 Renaissance<br /> 21:53 Issues with the Early Internet<br /> 27:11 Original Sin<br /> 35:11 From Attention to Ownership<br /> 38:48 Digital Scarcity<br /> 47:41 Patronage Plus vs Regulation<br /> 52:59 100 True Fans<br /> 1:01:17 Programmable Business Models<br /> 1:09:17 DAOs & Community Ownership<br /> 1:14:48 Comparing Renaissances<br /> 1:21:36 Wealth Inequality<br /> 1:29:58 What YOU Can Do<br /> 1:35:23 What ELSE You Can Do<br /> 1:38:54 2022 Predictions<br /> 1:42:35 Closing & Disclaimers</p> <p>------<br /> Resources:</p> <p>Li on Twitter:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/ljin18?s=20">https://twitter.com/ljin18?s=20</a> </p> <p>Li's Newsletter:<br /> <a href= "https://li.substack.com/">https://li.substack.com/</a> </p> <p>The Web3 Renaissance:<br /> <a href= "https://li.substack.com/p/the-web3-renaissance-a-golden-age">https://li.substack.com/p/the-web3-renaissance-a-golden-age</a> </p> <p>100 True Fans:<br /> <a href= "https://li-jin.co/2020/02/19/100-true-fans/">https://li-jin.co/2020/02/19/100-true-fans/</a> </p> <p>The Creator Economy:<br /> <a href= "https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/-panel-the-creator-economy-jesse">https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/-panel-the-creator-economy-jesse</a> </p> <p>Tweets Mentioned:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/ljin18/status/1434964132042846208">https://twitter.com/ljin18/status/1434964132042846208</a> <br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/ljin18/status/1422928459425271811">https://twitter.com/ljin18/status/1422928459425271811</a> <br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/ljin18/status/1404650885788098562">https://twitter.com/ljin18/status/1404650885788098562</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

The Great L2 Migration | Cross-Chain L2 Panel

<p>We think 2022 is going to be a huge year for Layer 2 scaling solutions. Cross-Chain protocols will be a crucial infrastructure for the great migration to L2s, allowing users to bridge assets across platforms.</p> <p>Composability and user experience is the glue of modular blockchains, which optimize for decentralization, scaling, and cost. The projects and representatives each present cryptographic solutions for building a web of liquidity across the many suburbs of DeFi, where average users will live and engage.</p> <p>GUESTS:</p> <p>Ben Jones - Optimism<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/ben_chain?s=20">https://twitter.com/ben_chain?s=20</a> </p> <p>Hart Lambur - UMA <br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/hal2001?s=20">https://twitter.com/hal2001?s=20</a> </p> <p>Arjun Bhuptani - Connext<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/arjunbhuptani?s=20">https://twitter.com/arjunbhuptani?s=20</a> </p> <p>Chris Whinfrey - Hop Protocol<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/WhinfreyChris?s=20">https://twitter.com/WhinfreyChris?s=20</a> </p> <p>Vaibhav Chellani - MOVR<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/vaibhavchellani?s=20">https://twitter.com/vaibhavchellani?s=20</a> </p> <p>------<br /> ONJUNO | Crypto from your Checking Account!<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/OnJuno">https://bankless.cc/OnJuno</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 /> Not financial or tax advice.

Aarika Rhodes vs Brad Sherman: Getting Crypto into Congress CA-32

<p>Aarika Rhodes is running for Congress! Running against incumbent Brad Sherman, who is notoriously misinformed and anti-crypto, Aarika seeks to bring a more crypto-friendly approach to CA-32, representing much of the San Fernando Valley in Southern California.</p> <p>A schoolteacher by profession, Aarika seems to be breathing fresh air into the stale political landscape. Here's her policy on crypto:</p> <p>"Aarika believes in the right of every individual to manage their own finances and investments as they see fit. In Congress, Aarika will oppose any attempts to ban this emerging technology. Aarika is also a strong advocate for making sure financial literacy is taught in schools and for people being aware of the environmental impact of their investments."</p> <p>Learn more about Aarika: <a href= "https://www.aarikaforcongress.com/">https://www.aarikaforcongress.com/</a> </p> <p>------<br /> 📣 ONJUNO | Crypto from your Checking Account!<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/OnJuno">https://bankless.cc/OnJuno</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 /> 6:30 Aarika Rhodes<br /> 11:33 Why Get Involved?<br /> 16:42 Anti-Crypto Policies<br /> 21:09 California's 32nd District<br /> 25:17 How America Can Win Crypto<br /> 30:00 The Youth & Environment<br /> 34:15 Web3 vs Banking<br /> 38:11 Financial Literacy<br /> 42:31 The Campaign<br /> 46:09 Proactive in the Community<br /> 47:58 The Single-Issue Voter<br /> 50:29 Closing & Disclaimers</p> <p>------<br /> Resources:</p> <p>Aarika on Twitter:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/AarikaRhodes?s=20">https://twitter.com/AarikaRhodes?s=20</a> </p> <p>Aarika's Tweet:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/AarikaRhodes/status/1468647038925500418?s=20">https://twitter.com/AarikaRhodes/status/1468647038925500418?s=20</a> </p> <p>Get Involved:<br /> <a href= "https://www.aarikaforcongress.com/">https://www.aarikaforcongress.com/</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

Udi Wertheimer | Layer Zero

<p>Udi Wertheimer is a notorious persona on crypto twitter and is endlessly difficult to pin down. At the very least, Udi is an interesting and unique character, describing himself as a cynical optimist with a tendency to antagonize and troll.</p> <p>Udi is also insightful and pragmatic, constantly making connections and critiques of the space with a sharp eye and a relentless desire to call things out when he disagrees. He blurs a lot of lines, and you always have to be on your toes when Udi’s around.</p> <p>There’s value in having members in the community who never give the benefit of the doubt and act as a philosophical razor for the space. Udi is full of takes, and this conversation twists and turns through the entirety of crypto—trading, culture, communities, memes, the metaverse, and beyond.</p> <p>------<br /> 📣 ONJUNO | Crypto from your Checking Account!<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/OnJuno">https://bankless.cc/OnJuno</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 /> 3:30 Udi, a Meme Tactition<br /> 9:08 Trading Ponzis<br /> 15:58 Not Changing the World<br /> 22:22 Optimism, Memes, Community<br /> 30:20 Winners & Decentralization<br /> 38:33 Composability & User Experience<br /> 42:14 SBF and Competition<br /> 49:10 Culture & Meme Communities<br /> 55:30 Bitcoin Twitter vs Bitcoin Reality<br /> 1:01:00 Pricing Values<br /> 1:06:30 Critique of Ethereum & Bankless<br /> 1:14:53 2022, Metaverse, Resolutions<br /> 1:22:19 Closing & Disclaimers</p> <p>------<br /> Resources:</p> <p>Udi on Twitter:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/udiWertheimer?s=20">https://twitter.com/udiWertheimer?s=20</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

<p>🎉 Happy 100th Episode 🎉</p> <p>Cobie, fka Crypto Cobain, is a cultural staple in the crypto space.

We also dive into how much decentralization matters, roles and responsibilities in shaping the world around us, and his outlook for 2022 and beyond.</p> <p>Cobie advises a healthy dose of skepticism and curiosity, and describes himself as a reality maximalist. He’s gone on an absolute tear recently, dropping a series of excellent thought piece articles that establish mental models for understanding narratives across the ecosystem.</p> <p>We also go through moral alignment charts and ask Cobie the big question… What does he think of Bankless?</p> <p>------<br /> ✨ DEBRIEF ✨ | Ryan & David's Unfiltered Thoughts on the Episode<br /> <a href= "https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/debrief-cobie">https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/debrief-cobie</a> </p> <p>------<br /> 📣 ONJUNO | Crypto from your Checking Account!<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/OnJuno">https://bankless.cc/OnJuno</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 How Cobie Survives in Crypto<br /> 13:41 Early Discoveries<br /> 21:22 Reality Maximalism<br /> 32:38 Responsibility & Roles<br /> 43:39 Tribes, Decentralization, Utility<br /> 53:10 Profit Maximalism<br /> 1:01:31 Staking & Incentives<br /> 1:10:42 Wins and Losses<br /> 1:19:20 Crypto Brain & Culture<br /> 1:28:45 Wealth & Purpose<br /> 1:36:18 Chaotic Good & UpOnly<br /> 1:39:58 Judging Others<br /> 1:54:00 Bullish or Bearish in 2022<br /> 2:00:42 Closing & Disclaimers</p> <p>------<br /> Resources:</p> <p>Cobie on Twitter<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/cobie?s=20">https://twitter.com/cobie?s=20</a> <br /> UpOnly<br /> <a href="https://uponly.tv/">https://uponly.tv/</a> <br /> Cobie’s Newsletter<br /> <a href= "https://cobie.substack.com/">https://cobie.substack.com/</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

TribeDAO - The Biggest Protocol Merge Ever

<p>In the latter half of 2021, Jai Bhavnani of Rari Capital and Joey Santoro of FEI Protocol went to each other's governance forums and proposed the FEI RARI token merge: the biggest protocol merger that we've ever seen in the space.</p> <p>The concept garnered high engagement and a ton of community response, and the formal votes received overwhelming support on both sides. This unprecedented merge is a historical moment for DAOs. The verticalization of DeFi is happening with new 'mafias' emerging in several corners of DeFi. Uniting capital efficiency, values, and communities, we are right alongside Jai with his excitement to see how this all plays out.</p> <p>With new conversations of anti-trust and competition, it's clear that the DAO space is continuing to mature. Integrated DeFi stacks are increasingly exciting, and in this episode, we dive into the details with two pioneers of interDAO relationships.</p> <p>------<br /> 📣 ONJUNO | Crypto from your Checking Account!<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/OnJuno">https://bankless.cc/OnJuno</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 /> 5:50 The TribeDAO Merger<br /> 10:48 Rari Capital & FEI<br /> 13:37 FEI & Rari Capital<br /> 17:14 Liquidity Engines<br /> 24:36 Turbo Verticalization<br /> 29:12 Aligning Incentives<br /> 32:08 The God Theory of DAOs<br /> 35:19 RGT & Operations<br /> 40:53 The Broader DAO Space<br /> 46:36 Anti-Trust in Crypto<br /> 52:36 TribeDAO Roadmap<br /> 56:42 Closing & Disclaimers</p> <p>------<br /> Resources:</p> <p>Jai on Twitter: <br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/jai_bhavnani?s=20">https://twitter.com/jai_bhavnani?s=20</a> </p> <p>Joey on Twitter:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/joey__santoro?s=20">https://twitter.com/joey__santoro?s=20</a> </p> <p>FEI:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/feiprotocol?s=20">https://twitter.com/feiprotocol?s=20</a> </p> <p>Rari:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/RariCapital?s=20">https://twitter.com/RariCapital?s=20</a> </p> <p>Jai's Forum Post:<br /> <a href= "https://tribe.fei.money/t/fip-51-fei-rari-token-merge/3642">https://tribe.fei.money/t/fip-51-fei-rari-token-merge/3642</a> </p> <p>Joey's Forum Post:<br /> <a href= "https://forums.rari.capital/d/177-feirari-token-merge">https://forums.rari.capital/d/177-feirari-token-merge</a> </p> <p>Swap RGT for TRIBE:<br /> <a href= "https://feirari-swap-interface.vercel.app/">https://feirari-swap-interface.vercel.app/</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

99 - Endgame | Vitalik Buterin

<p>Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin returns to the podcast to discuss his recent article Endgame, as well as the massive year we observed in 2021. From the future of Ethereum to the rise of alternative Layer 1 platforms, it only makes sense to kick off 2022 by exploring how far we’ve come and figuring out where we’re headed.</p> <p>How far are we along on Ethereum’s roadmap? What challenges lie ahead?</p> <p>In a recent tweet, Vitalik posted a graphic of the updated progress of the Ethereum roadmap, and there are five throughlines that are progressing in parallel:</p> <p>• The Merge<br /> • The Surge<br /> • The Verge<br /> • The Purge<br /> • The Splurge</p> <p>We dive into what each of these means, as well as discuss what Ethereum will look like as these milestones are met. Holding this up against conversations of maximalism and alternative L1s, now is the time to start asking the big questions.</p> <p>✨ WATCH THE DEBRIEF ✨<br /> <a href= "https://youtu.be/v__0GOC-XYE">https://youtu.be/v__0GOC-XYE</a> </p> <p>------<br /> 📣 ONJUNO | Crypto from your Checking Account!<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/OnJuno">https://bankless.cc/OnJuno</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</p> <p>4:09 Debrief</p> <p>7:27 Vitalik Returns after 2021<br /> 11:40 2021 Ethereum Milestones<br /> 16:33 Roadmap Progress</p> <p>19:35 The Merge (Proof of Stake)</p> <p>24:20 The Surge (Rollups & Sharding)<br /> 32:59 Life after Sharding</p> <p>42:40 The Verge (Verkle Trees)</p> <p>49:35 The Purge (History Expiry)<br /> 57:03 State Expiry & Snake<br /> 1:03:40 Snakes & States</p> <p>1:08:20 The Splurge (Everything Else)</p> <p>1:15:20 What Makes Vitalik Happy</p> <p>1:20:17 Rise of Alt Layer 1s<br /> 1:26:03 Gas Costs & Decentralization</p> <p>1:29:11 Maximalism</p> <p>1:34:03 Endgame<br /> 1:40:16 Alt L1s and Rollups<br /> 1:44:02 Multi-Rollup World<br /> 1:49:21 The Ground Floor</p> <p>1:53:56 Solving the World’s Problems</p> <p>1:58:33 Closing & Disclaimers</p> <p>------<br /> Resources:</p> <p>VITALIK'S ARTICLES<br /> Endgame<br /> <a href= "https://vitalik.ca/general/2021/12/06/endgame.html">https://vitalik.ca/general/2021/12/06/endgame.html</a> <br /> The Limits to Blockchain Scalability<br /> <a href= "https://vitalik.ca/general/2021/05/23/scaling.html">https://vitalik.ca/general/2021/05/23/scaling.html</a> <br /> Verkle Trees<br /> <a href= "https://vitalik.ca/general/2021/06/18/verkle.html">https://vitalik.ca/general/2021/06/18/verkle.html</a> <br /> Pragmatic Destruction of Self-Destruct<br /> <a href= "https://hackmd.io/@vbuterin/selfdestruct">https://hackmd.io/@vbuterin/selfdestruct</a> <br /> Crypto Cities<br /> <a href= "https://vitalik.ca/general/2021/10/31/cities.html">https://vitalik.ca/general/2021/10/31/cities.html</a> <br /> Legitimacy<br /> <a href= "https://vitalik.ca/general/2021/03/23/legitimacy.html">https://vitalik.ca/general/2021/03/23/legitimacy.html</a> <br /> Moving beyond coin voting governance<br /> <a href= "https://vitalik.ca/general/

97 - The Bull Case For ETH III | Anthony Sassano, DC Investor, Cyrus Younessi

<p>Anthony Sassano, DC Investor, and Cyrus Younessi return to Bankless to complete the Bull Case for Ethereum Trilogy. Comparing this episode with the previous two Bull Cases, we can see what has held up so far and what we have to look forward to in 2022.</p> <p>Spoiler: these guys have gotten a lot of things right.</p> <p>Covering topics like the meteoric rise of NFTs, the BTC Flippening, and Ethereum Maximalism, there remains much to be incredibly excited about as we close out a historic 2021. While macro conditions remain uncertain, the conditions of the crypto markets and ecosystems are perhaps surprisingly more digestible.</p> <p>With the Proof-of-Stake merge on the way and the modular blockchain thesis taking shape, the inevitable conclusion is that ETH is destined to go up.</p> <p>What’s 2022 going to look like? No one knows for sure, but this episode left us feeling incredibly bullish.</p> <p>------<br /> 📣 HASHFLOW | POOL & TRADE OTC<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Hashflow">https://bankless.cc/Hashflow</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 | DECENTRALIZED EXCHANGE AGGREGATOR<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Matcha">https://bankless.cc/Matcha</a> </p> <p>🔐 LEDGER | SECURE YOUR ASSETS<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Ledger">https://bankless.cc/Ledger</a> </p> <p>🧙‍♀️ ALCHEMIX | SELF-PAYING LOANS<br /> <a href= "http://bankless.cc/Alchemix">http://bankless.cc/Alchemix</a> <br /> ------</p> <p>Topics Covered:</p> <p>0:00 Intro<br /> 5:45 Recapping the Prequels<br /> 10:21 Crypto in 2021<br /> 17:09 Narratives and Scaling<br /> 23:21 The Cultural Asset Layer<br /> 27:57 Core Value Pillars<br /> 35:34 Do the People Know?<br /> 40:24 PoS and Monetary Policy<br /> 46:45 Bullish APY<br /> 52:52 The Merge and Price<br /> 57:12 Users & Gas Fees<br /> 1:05:59 Layer 1s & Modular Blockchains<br /> 1:09:40 Extreme Decentralization<br /> 1:12:15 Chains that Care<br /> 1:18:00 Maximalism<br /> 1:22:42 Is ETH Going to Scale?<br /> 1:28:09 Market Conditions<br /> 1:38:10 The Flippening & Price Predictions<br /> 1:46:14 Closing & Disclaimers</p> <p>------<br /> Resources:</p> <p>DC Investor on Twitter<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/iamDCinvestor?s=20">https://twitter.com/iamDCinvestor?s=20</a> <br /> Anthony Sassano on Twitter<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/sassal0x?s=20">https://twitter.com/sassal0x?s=20</a> <br /> Cyrus Younessi on Twitter<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/cyounessi1?s=20">https://twitter.com/cyounessi1?s=20</a> <br /> Bull Case for Ethereum I<br /> <a href= "https://youtu.be/36HkwlqfBaQ">https://youtu.be/36HkwlqfBaQ</a> <br /> Bull Case for Ethereum II <br /> <a href= "https://youtu.be/85M3yGvzCe4">https://youtu.be/85M3yGvzCe4</a> <br /> Ultra Sound Money<br /> <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWqhn1hXvVc&t=0s">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWqhn1hXvVc&t=0s</a> <br /> Ultra Scalable Ethereum<br /> <a href= "https://youtu.be/xjxyjgWiqLE">https://youtu.be/xjxyjgWiqLE</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

10 Predictions About Crypto in 2022 with Ryan Selkis

<p>Ryan Selkis is the Founder and CEO the data analytics platform Messari. In Ryan's past Bankless appearances, we've debated ETH as money and the Triple Point Asset thesis. We've tackled crypto regulation and taking an aggressive stance on policy.</p> <p>Now it's time to add it all together and decide what's next—what's important for the industry and the world as we head into 2022. Ryan wrote a 150+ page beast of a report titled 'Crypto Theses for 2022,' which covers the space from top to bottom. From DAOs and DeFi to Regulation and NFTs, there is no stone left unturned in this report.</p> <p>In this episode, we digest the mountain of information Ryan puts together on an annual basis to answer the question: What's in store for Crypto in 2022?</p> <p>-----<br /> METAMASK | YOUR HARDWARE WALLET'S BEST FRIEND<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/metamask-shows">https://bankless.cc/metamask-shows</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>GEMINI | FIAT & CRYPTO EXCHANGE<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/go-gemini%E2%80%8B">https://bankless.cc/go-gemini​</a> </p> <p>LIDO | DECENTRALIZED STAKING<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Lido">https://bankless.cc/Lido</a> </p> <p>AAVE | LEND & BORROW ASSETS<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/aave">https://bankless.cc/aave</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 /> 7:00 Ryan Selkis & Institutional Trust<br /> 14:30 Web3 is Inevitable<br /> 22:08 Inflation & Use Cases<br /> 32:47 WAGMI<br /> 37:45 The Fall of China<br /> 42:52 The American Battleground<br /> 46:55 The Regulator Side<br /> 56:28 The Crypto Coalition<br /> 1:02:20 NFTs & Metaverse<br /> 1:09:48 ETH's Q3 Earnings Report<br /> 1:16:47 ETH Killer Valuations<br /> 1:20:41 ETH is Money Debate<br /> 1:25:33 Closing & Disclaimers</p> <p>------<br /> Resources:</p> <p>Ryan on Twitter:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/twobitidiot?s=20">https://twitter.com/twobitidiot?s=20</a> </p> <p>The Crypto Theses:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/twobitidiot/status/1466438779196039175?s=20">https://twitter.com/twobitidiot/status/1466438779196039175?s=20</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

Bringing DeFi to NFTs | Metaverso Panel

<p>On December 7, 2021, Metaverso was held in Puerto Rico as a 1-day conference filled with leaders in crypto culture. We held a panel with Sam Cassat of Aligned Capital, Ben Lakoff of Charged Particles, Andy8052 of Fractional, and Laura Jaramillo of Upshot.</p> <p>In this special edition, we dive into what the conference experience really is. Spoiler: Crypto IRL is amazing. The panel explores the intersection of DeFi and NFTs—what happens when these worlds collide? There are only two types of assets—fungible and non-fungible—but we are seeing these concepts blur together in new and interesting ways.</p> <p>From liquidity to communities, this conversation covers how the Metaverse is bringing DeFi to NFTs.</p> <p>-----<br /> 📣 METAMASK | YOUR HARDWARE WALLET'S BEST FRIEND<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/metamask-shows">https://bankless.cc/metamask-shows</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>💰 GEMINI | FIAT & CRYPTO EXCHANGE<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/go-gemini%E2%80%8B">https://bankless.cc/go-gemini​</a> </p> <p>💧LIDO | DECENTRALIZED STAKING<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Lido">https://bankless.cc/Lido</a> </p> <p>👻 AAVE | LEND & BORROW ASSETS<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/aave">https://bankless.cc/aave</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 /> 3:15 The Conference Experience<br /> 6:44 TradArt and NFTs<br /> 10:11 Metaverso<br /> 13:14 Crypto IRL<br /> 16:20 The Panel<br /> 19:40 FreeRoss DAO<br /> 21:38 The Panelists<br /> 24:28 The Potential of NFTs<br /> 29:00 More than Fractionalizing<br /> 33:45 Liquidity<br /> 39:33 Pricing Assets<br /> 46:50 Community<br /> 54:34 Regulatory Issues<br /> 1:00:22 Use Cases</p> <p>-----<br /> Resources:</p> <p>Metaverso<br /> <a href= "https://www.metaver.so/">https://www.metaver.so/</a> <br /> FreeRossDAO<br /> <a href= "https://freerossdao.com/">https://freerossdao.com/</a> <br /> Sam Cassatt<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/samcassatt?s=20">https://twitter.com/samcassatt?s=20</a> <br /> Ben Lakoff<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/benlakoff?s=20">https://twitter.com/benlakoff?s=20</a> <br /> Andy8052<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/andy8052?s=20">https://twitter.com/andy8052?s=20</a> <br /> Laura Jaramillo<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/LauraTJD?s=20">https://twitter.com/LauraTJD?s=20</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

Justin Aversano | Layer Zero

<p>Justin Aversano is the now-famous photographer behind the NFT project Twin Flames, but that doesn’t even begin to cover it. Starting with his birthday project titled Every Day is a Gift, Justin has relentlessly pursued his creative passions, backed by his own personal journey of grief, healing, and growth.</p> <p>Justin has a unique, powerful, and intense story—the grief of his mother passing from cancer and the trauma of losing a twin in the womb inspired a years-long quest for discovery and healing.</p> <p>You can feel the creativity and emotion in his work, and his Twin Flames project has seen tremendous success in both the physical and digital realm. Describing NFTs as the Digital Twin of the Physical Reality, the cohesion of his work and individuality surface as we explore why art matters, and what drives the creative mind.</p> <p>-----<br /> 📣 METAMASK | YOUR HARDWARE WALLET'S BEST FRIEND<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/metamask-shows">https://bankless.cc/metamask-shows</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>💰 GEMINI | FIAT & CRYPTO EXCHANGE<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/go-gemini%E2%80%8B">https://bankless.cc/go-gemini​</a> </p> <p>💧LIDO | DECENTRALIZED STAKING<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Lido">https://bankless.cc/Lido</a> </p> <p>👻 AAVE | LEND & BORROW ASSETS<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/aave">https://bankless.cc/aave</a> </p> <p>🦄 UNISWAP | DECENTRALIZED FUNDING<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/UniGrants">https://bankless.cc/UniGrants</a> </p> <p>------<br /> Resources:</p> <p>Justin on Twitter:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/justinaversano?s=20">https://twitter.com/justinaversano?s=20</a> </p> <p>Justin’s Website:<br /> <a href= "https://www.justinaversano.com/">https://www.justinaversano.com/</a> </p> <p>Quantum Art Discord:<br /> <a href= "https://discord.com/invite/quantum-art">https://discord.com/invite/quantum-art</a> </p> <p>SaveArtSpace:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/saveartspace?s=20">https://twitter.com/saveartspace?s=20</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

Crypto Advocacy Panel

<p>This is the Crypto Advocacy & Education Summit, which we're hosting to go along with the Ethereum Foundation's $500,000 donation to the Gitcoin Round 12 matching round for the ‘Crypto Advocacy’ track.</p> <p>Gitcoin does these ‘quadratic matching’ rounds 4 times a year, where many entities donate large sums of funds, and the community rallies and donates to many causes and projects across the crypto space. The ‘matching rounds’ are exponentially matched towards the grants that received the most numbers of individual humans who donated to them.</p> <p>The EF has specifically allocated 500k to go towards effects that advocate for crypto in our government offices.</p> <p>Bankless and Gitcoin are hosting a 2-panel ’summit’ livestream in order to drum up excitement and donations for the various organizations that help advocate for crypto!</p> <p>✨ GITCOIN GRANTS ✨<br /> <a href= "https://gitcoin.co/grants/explorer/">https://gitcoin.co/grants/explorer/</a> </p> <p>---</p> <p>Panel #1: Why does crypto advocacy and education matter?</p> <p>Kristin Smith | Blockchain Association<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/KMSmithDC?s=20">https://twitter.com/KMSmithDC?s=20</a> </p> <p>Brian Quintenz | Former CFTC Chair<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/BrianQuintenz?s=20">https://twitter.com/BrianQuintenz?s=20</a> </p> <p>Tomicah Tillemann | a16z<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/TomicahTD?s=20">https://twitter.com/TomicahTD?s=20</a> </p> <p>---</p> <p>Panel #2: How do crypto stakeholders support crypto advocacy + education?</p> <p>Sarah Roth-Gaudette | Fight for the Future<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/gaudette75?s=20">https://twitter.com/gaudette75?s=20</a> </p> <p>Jerry Brito | Coin Center<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/jerrybrito?s=20">https://twitter.com/jerrybrito?s=20</a> </p> <p>Jake Chervinsky | Blockchain Association<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/jchervinsky?s=20">https://twitter.com/jchervinsky?s=20</a> </p> <p> ------<br /> 📣 METMASK | YOUR HARDWARE WALLET'S BEST FRIEND<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/metamask-shows">https://bankless.cc/metamask-shows</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>💰 GEMINI | FIAT & CRYPTO EXCHANGE<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/go-gemini%E2%80%8B">https://bankless.cc/go-gemini​</a> </p> <p>💧LIDO | DECENTRALIZED STAKING<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Lido">https://bankless.cc/Lido</a> </p> <p>👻 AAVE | LEND & BORROW ASSETS<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/aave">https://bankless.cc/aave</a> </p> <p>🦄 UNISWAP | DECENTRALIZED FUNDING<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/UniGrants">https://bankless.cc/UniGrants</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

Decentralized Ethereum 2.0 Staking with Rocket Pool | Darren Langley & Dave Rugendyke

<p>Rocket Pool is live on mainnet! Slowly rolling out its staking pools, Rocket Pool is opening up its decentralized ETH staking product to the world.

Tim Beiko | Layer Zero

<p>Tim Beiko runs the core protocol meetings for Ethereum. His path into crypto began in 2017, buying the top. But he stayed in the space, initially working for Consensys and their Besu Ethereum Client before trailblazing with EIP-1559's implementation.</p> <p>This conversation covers his story into working with Ethereum core developers, the role and landscape of Ethereum clients, and coordinating the maintenance and upgrades to the Ethereum protocol.</p> <p>With the merge on the horizon and barbarians at the gates, humans like Tim Beiko work to keep Ethereum as credibly neutral, efficient, and open as possible. Can Vitalik impose his will on Ethereum? Is it centralized? This episode has the answers.</p> <p>------<br /> 📣 OPOLIS | YOUR CRYPTO CAREER<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> <br /> ------</p> <p>BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS:</p> <p>⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum">https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum</a> </p> <p>🍵 MATCHA | DECENTRALIZED EXCHANGE AGGREGATOR<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Matcha">https://bankless.cc/Matcha</a> </p> <p>🔐 LEDGER | SECURE YOUR ASSETS<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Ledger">https://bankless.cc/Ledger</a> </p> <p>🧙‍♀️ ALCHEMIX | SELF-PAYING LOANS<br /> <a href= "http://bankless.cc/Alchemix">http://bankless.cc/Alchemix</a> </p> <p>------<br /> Topics Covered:</p> <p>0:00 Intro<br /> 4:30 Tim Beiko Before Crypto<br /> 12:27 Getting into the Space<br /> 16:45 Working for Conensys<br /> 20:56 Clients and Values<br /> 26:48 Forks of GETH<br /> 31:52 Clients as Businesses<br /> 37:42 Keeping the Balance<br /> 44:57 EIP-1559<br /> 51:47 Coordinating Core Devs<br /> 59:00 Communicating Code<br /> 1:05:17 Security<br /> 1:11:18 What the People Want<br /> 1:14:18 Who is a Core Dev?<br /> 1:21:07 Facilitating Forever<br /> 1:26:00 When Merge?<br /> 1:30:47 Closing</p> <p>------<br /> Resources:</p> <p>Tim on Twitter:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/TimBeiko?s=20">https://twitter.com/TimBeiko?s=20</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

3 - Mack Flavelle | Overpriced JPEGs

<p>Mack Flavelle is the Co-Founder of CryptoKitties, Dapper Labs, and Big Head Club. CryptoKitties was instrumental in establishing the ERC-721 standard, which is the base for the vast majority of NFTs. Mack helped launch NBA Top Shot and StonerCats, and that just begins to cover his impact in the space.</p> <p>Needless to say, Mack has had a prolific career and pioneered many innovations for NFTs. His creativity and boundless energy powers this conversation about the history of culture on the blockchain, and a discussion of his more recent and upcoming projects leads to bold predictions about the future.</p> <p>Mack is a fascinating character, and we wouldn't expect anything less from one of the founding fathers of the NFT movement.</p> <p>------<br /> 🚀 SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER: <a href= "https://jpegs.banklesshq.com/">https://jpegs.banklesshq.com/</a> <br /> 🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST<br /> APPLE: <a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/overpriced-jpegs/id1591954323"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/overpriced-jpegs/id1591954323</a> <br /> SPOTIFY: <a href= "https://open.spotify.com/show/5G2HSDneVg8mZUQ3zUIoLX?si=6d57ee1f89184974"> https://open.spotify.com/show/5G2HSDneVg8mZUQ3zUIoLX?si=6d57ee1f89184974</a> <br /> ------<br /> BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS:</p> <p>👀 ZERION | YOUR NFT PORTFOLIO<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Zerion">https://bankless.cc/Zerion</a> </p> <p>💸 ONJUNO | YOUR CRYPTO PAYCHECK<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/OnJuno">https://bankless.cc/OnJuno</a> </p> <p>🌊 INDEX COOP | METAVERSE INDEX<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/MVI">https://bankless.cc/MVI</a> </p> <p>🦄 BLOCK::BLOCK | METAVERSE IP<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/blockblock">https://bankless.cc/blockblock</a> </p> <p>------</p> <p>Topics Covered:</p> <p>0:00 Intro<br /> 3:30 Mack Flavelle and Cats<br /> 10:12 CryptoKitties and ERC 721<br /> 13:56 Inflection Points<br /> 19:14 Pink Cat Villain<br /> 22:59 Innovations & Explosions<br /> 28:01 The Price of Kitties<br /> 36:10 New Major IP<br /> 42:30 Ronin & Death Poems<br /> 50:59 Big Head Club<br /> 56:32 Lessons from StonerCats<br /> 1:01:54 Ghostbusters Etc<br /> 1:04:05 The Big Questions<br /> 1:11:27 Closing</p> <p>------<br /> Resources:</p> <p>Big Head Club<br /> <a href= "https://www.bighead.club/">https://www.bighead.club/</a> </p> <p>Japanese Death Poems<br /> <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Japanese-Death-Poems-Written-Monks/dp/0804831793"> https://www.amazon.com/Japanese-Death-Poems-Written-Monks/dp/0804831793</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

She is emblematic of what we love about crypto culture, and the pleasr spirit is one that this entire space aspires to.</p> <p>------<br /> 📣 OPOLIS | YOUR CRYPTO CAREER<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> <br /> ------</p> <p>BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS:</p> <p>⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum">https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum</a> </p> <p>🍵 MATCHA | DECENTRALIZED EXCHANGE AGGREGATOR<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Matcha">https://bankless.cc/Matcha</a> </p> <p>🔐 LEDGER | SECURE YOUR ASSETS<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Ledger">https://bankless.cc/Ledger</a> </p> <p>🧙‍♀️ ALCHEMIX | SELF-PAYING LOANS<br /> <a href= "http://bankless.cc/Alchemix">http://bankless.cc/Alchemix</a> </p> <p>------<br /> Topics Covered:</p> <p>0:00 intro<br /> 4:00 ppl pleasr<br /> 8:42 background & diablo<br /> 15:01 crypto twitter vs blizzcon<br /> 21:38 x * y = k<br /> 28:06 sale, hype, & charity<br /> 35:05 donating & dividends<br /> 42:43 life trajectory<br /> 47:02 pleasrdao<br /> 54:35 fortune cover<br /> 1:01:00 identity & nft brain<br /> 1:08:32 social life & magnum opus<br /> 1:15:15 pleasr irl<br /> 1:21:17 lessons<br /> 1:26:58 closing</p> <p>------<br /> Resources:</p> <p>pplpleasr on Twitter<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/pplpleasr1?s=20">https://twitter.com/pplpleasr1?s=20</a> <br /> pleasrDAO<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/PleasrDAO?s=20">https://twitter.com/PleasrDAO?s=20</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

93 - Crypto Payments and the DeFi Mullet | Visa's Cuy Sheffield and Anchorage's Diogo Mónica

<p>The DeFi Mullet is a classic Bankless thesis that we've begun to watch play out right in front of us. This week, we bring on Cuy Sheffield from Visa and Diogo Mónica from Anchorage to explain the DeFi mullet from the Fintech side of things.</p> <p>This episode explores how crypto payments are extending beyond retail and into institutions, and how Fintech platforms like Visa are leveling up with the utilities provided by Anchorage to support crypto. Blurring the lines between the two worlds is shaping up to be a fascinating corner of our industry, and there's a ton of new concepts to dive into throughout this conversation.</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 /> 📣 OPOLIS | YOUR CRYPTO CAREER<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Opolis">https://bankless.cc/Opolis</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 | DECENTRALIZED EXCHANGE AGGREGATOR<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Matcha">https://bankless.cc/Matcha</a> </p> <p>🔐 LEDGER | SECURE YOUR ASSETS<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Ledger">https://bankless.cc/Ledger</a> </p> <p>🧙‍♀️ ALCHEMIX | SELF-PAYING LOANS<br /> <a href= "http://bankless.cc/Alchemix">http://bankless.cc/Alchemix</a> </p> <p>------<br /> Topics Covered:</p> <p>0:00 Intro<br /> 6:30 Visa & The DeFi Mullet<br /> 15:03 Anchorage & The DeFi Mullet<br /> 18:55 Volatility & Engagement<br /> 25:52 Crypto Rewards<br /> 34:13 How Payments Work<br /> 41:08 Settlement Layers<br /> 46:22 What Anchorage Does<br /> 50:30 Stablecoins & Bridging<br /> 1:00:09 Teaching Visa About Crypto<br /> 1:06:10 Immutable Transactions<br /> 1:13:22 Visa CryptoPunk<br /> 1:22:09 Central Bank Digital Currencies<br /> 1:28:04 Trusting Institutions?<br /> 1:31:52 Closing & Disclaimers</p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

GMoney | Layer Zero

<p>gmoney holds one of the four knitted cap ape CryptoPunks, and is a prolific investor. From riding the dot com bubble all the way down as a pre-teen to buying apple calls in high school, gmoney has always been deeply fascinated by finance.</p> <p>gmoney has a keen eye for the broad markets and makes informed trading & investment decisions. Since the start of the pandemic and crypto's subsequent rise, gmoney's tone has shifted to one of a 'disruptor' and 'futurist.' Falling down the NFT rabbit-hole in 2020 has demonstrated a character development of sorts, shifting from the harsh, objective financial markets to a more art-based, community-based one.</p> <p>gmoney's approach to making money is fascinating, but perhaps not nearly as interesting or important as his role in the budding metaverse.</p> <p>------<br /> 📣 OPOLIS | YOUR CRYPTO CAREER<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> <br /> ------</p> <p>BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS:</p> <p>⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum">https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum</a> </p> <p>🍵 MATCHA | DECENTRALIZED EXCHANGE AGGREGATOR<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Matcha">https://bankless.cc/Matcha</a> </p> <p>🔐 LEDGER | SECURE YOUR ASSETS<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Ledger">https://bankless.cc/Ledger</a> </p> <p>🧙‍♀️ ALCHEMIX | SELF-PAYING LOANS<br /> <a href= "http://bankless.cc/Alchemix">http://bankless.cc/Alchemix</a> </p> <p>------<br /> Resources:</p> <p>Benjamin on Twitter:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/intocryptoverse?s=20">https://twitter.com/intocryptoverse?s=20</a> </p> <p>Benjamin's Youtube Channel:<br /> <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRvqjQPSeaWn-uEx-w0XOIg">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRvqjQPSeaWn-uEx-w0XOIg</a> </p> <p>Into the Cryptoverse: <br /> <a href= "https://intothecryptoverse.com/">https://intothecryptoverse.com/</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

92 - The Fight for the Future of Money | CryptoDad Chris Giancarlo

<p>Chris Giancarlo, aka CryptoDad, is the former chair of the CFTC, the governing body that oversees Commodity Futures Trading. He's now an advisor in crypto, a senior advisor at a law firm, and of course, a father.</p> <p>This conversation circles around many of the topics Chris covers in his new book, 'The Fight for the Future of Money.' We move through the specifics like the differences between Futures and Spot ETFs, but then we turn towards the big picture.</p> <p>What are American values? How do we instantiate them into our digital institutions? America has a remarkable history of saying 'yes,' and the stakes couldn't be higher as America decides whether to say yes to credibly neutral, decentralized protocols.</p> <p>✨ EPISODE DEBRIEF ✨<br /> <a href= "https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/exclusive-debrief-the-fight-for-the"> https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/exclusive-debrief-the-fight-for-the</a> </p> <p>------<br /> 📣 DHARMA | From Dollars to DeFi in a Tap!<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/dharma">https://bankless.cc/dharma</a> <br /> ------<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> <br /> ------<br /> BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS:</p> <p>💰 GEMINI | FIAT & CRYPTO EXCHANGE<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/go-gemini">https://bankless.cc/go-gemini</a> </p> <p>🔀 BALANCER | EXCHANGE & POOL ASSETS<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/balancer">https://bankless.cc/balancer</a> </p> <p>👻 AAVE | LEND & BORROW ASSETS<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/aave">https://bankless.cc/aave</a> </p> <p>🦄 UNISWAP | DECENTRALIZED FUNDING<br /> <a href= "http://bankless.cc/uniswap">http://bankless.cc/uniswap</a> </p> <p>------<br /> Topics Covered:</p> <p>0:00 Intro<br /> 6:30 Chris Giancarlo<br /> 10:06 CryptoDad & BTC Futures<br /> 18:27 Facing Resistance<br /> 22:13 Fear & Regulation<br /> 28:02 Vindicated<br /> 31:55 Futures vs Spot ETFs<br /> 41:29 Liquidity & Price<br /> 47:00 ETH Futures<br /> 53:09 Trust in Money<br /> 58:00 Getting the Values Right<br /> 1:04:43 Will People Care?<br /> 1:10:31 The CFTC’s Approach<br /> 1:16:03 Encouraging Innovation<br /> 1:21:31 Regulatory Clarity<br /> 1:26:44 Free Markets & Free People<br /> 1:33:56 The Crypto Dad<br /> 1:37:37 Closing & Disclaimers</p> <p>------<br /> Resources:</p> <p>CryptoDad on Twitter:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/giancarloMKTS?s=20">https://twitter.com/giancarloMKTS?s=20</a> </p> <p>The Fight for the Future of Money:<br /> <a href= "https://www.chrisgiancarlo.org/book">https://www.chrisgiancarlo.org/book</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.
