<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.

<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.

Striking a delicate balance between cool and cute, the massive success of this project is a testament to the importance of a good founding team and strong values.</p> <p>We discuss how Clon fell into the NFT space and found a perfect product-market fit with his work and style. We cover the power of community, dive into tokenomics, and explore how breaking into NFTs actually works.</p> <p>Although the market is (over)saturated with PFP projects, there are reasons why the cream rises to the top.

<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.

<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. Core team members Darren Langley and Dave Rugendyke join to talk about the past, present, and future of the protocol.</p> <p>Rocket Pool allows ETH holders to stake without needing to run a full node, which requires hardware, maintenance, and 32 ETH. Abstracting away those requirements helps to decentralize Ethereum's Proof-of-Stake, which is expected to arrive with the merge in the first half of 2022.</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> </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 /> 7:00 Launching Rocket Pool<br /> 15:50 How We Got Here<br /> 23:38 Why Decentralized Staking?<br /> 28:37 What the Numbers Say<br /> 34:38 A Public Good<br /> 39:40 The Community<br /> 47:11 Centralization Risks?<br /> 49:25 rETH<br /> 56:04 Democratizing ETH Staking<br /> 1:02:39 DeFi Integrations<br /> 1:06:30 MEV<br /> 1:14:25 Operating a Node & ODAO<br /> 1:22:02 RPL Token & Incentives<br /> 1:32:02 What's Next?<br /> 1:38:20 Closing & Disclaimers</p> <p>------<br /> RESOURCES:</p> <p>Darren on Twitter:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/langerstwit?s=20">https://twitter.com/langerstwit?s=20</a> </p> <p>Rocket Pool:<br /> <a href= "https://rocketpool.net/">https://rocketpool.net/</a> </p> <p>Node Map:<br /> <a href= "https://stake.rocketpool.net/network">https://stake.rocketpool.net/network</a> </p> <p>RPL Investment Thesis: <a href= "https://www.reddit.com/r/ethfinance/comments/m3pug8/the_rocket_pool_investment_thesis/"> https://www.reddit.com/r/ethfinance/comments/m3pug8/the_rocket_pool_investment_thesis/</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

<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.

<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.

<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.

<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.

<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.

<p>Eric Peters is the Founder and CEO of One River Digital Asset Management. In this episode, he joins the Bankless Podcast to bring the perspective of a traditional hedge fund manager into a crypto context. Spending his career in the markets, his insights to the macro environment are vast and inform his investing decisions, and he sees crypto as a pathway to a renaissance – but also to a dystopia.</p> <p>Seeing a 'quantum' level change underway, Eric explores the bumpy road ahead with thoughtful views on generation gaps, income inequality, and the power of digital assets. Eric's approach is a pragmatic one, addressing the crypto revolution in realistic terms that makes these paradigm shifts feel simultaneously instant and drawn out.</p> <p>✨ EPISODE DEBRIEF ✨<br /> <a href= "https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/exclusive-debrief-institutions-are"> https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/exclusive-debrief-institutions-are</a> </p> <p>*****<br /> 📣 POOLTOGETHER | DEFI LOTTERY<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/PoolTogether">https://bankless.cc/PoolTogether</a> <br /> *****</p> <p>🚀 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>⚖️ 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 /> 6:00 Eric Peters of Greenwich, CT<br /> 12:45 Buying $600M of Crypto<br /> 16:25 Building a Team<br /> 23:55 A Macro History Lesson<br /> 32:19 A Quantum Change<br /> 40:20 Dystopia or Renaissance<br /> 49:16 Bumpy Road Ahead<br /> 55:12 Generational Stresses<br /> 1:03:25 Faith In Currency<br /> 1:10:52 Regulatory Wrestling Match<br /> 1:15:42 Young, Dumb, and Broke<br /> 1:24:48 DeFi Boomers<br /> 1:29:00 Money is an Illusion<br /> 1:37:49 One Grave at a Time<br /> 1:42:20 Predictions<br /> 1:46:39 Closing & Disclaimers</p> <p>------<br /> Resources:</p> <p>Weekend Notes:<br /> <a href= "https://www.oneriveram.com/wknd-notes">https://www.oneriveram.com/wknd-notes</a> </p> <p>The Case for Digital Assets:<br /> <a href= "https://www.oneriveram.com/s/The-Case-for-Digital-Assets-One-River.pdf"> https://www.oneriveram.com/s/The-Case-for-Digital-Assets-One-River.pdf</a> </p> <p>The Crypto Renaissance:<br /> <a href= "https://youtu.be/karddOiv4ZA">https://youtu.be/karddOiv4ZA</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

<p>Scoopy Truples from Alchemix returns to Bankless to update us on what lies ahead for the protocol, and more broadly, the DeFi ecosystem.</p> <p>Alchemix v2 is on the horizon, which will allow for much more composability and integration with the rest of DeFi, as well as introducing new means of collateral such as LUSD and MIM. Scoopy also details plans for Layer 2 and Cross-Chain launches.</p> <p>The second half of the conversation turns to DeFi 2.0, which Scoopy outlined in this epic twitter thread. This new generation of DeFi projects introduce a new primitive for bootstrapping liquidity and capital to a protocol, which traditionally has been achieved via incentivized liquidity pools.</p> <p>This new model allows protocols to purchase LP positions and accrue value more sustainably, discouraging mercenary capital that leaves when rewards taper off. Scoopy brings big ideas and digestible explanations to this complicated topic, contextualizing what may become a new era for DeFi.</p> <p>*****<br /> 📣 POOLTOGETHER | DEFI LOTTERY<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/PoolTogether">https://bankless.cc/PoolTogether</a> <br /> *****</p> <p>🚀 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>⚖️ 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 /> 3:30 Scoopy Truples & Alchemix v2<br /> 8:02 Optimizing Yield<br /> 13:03 Community & alETH Vault<br /> 21:23 Layer 2 & Cross-Chain<br /> 29:58 Governance & Participation<br /> 37:00 DeFi 2.0 and Olympus DAO<br /> 49:16 How it Works<br /> 54:39 Flushing out Toxic Liquidity<br /> 58:24 Adopting this Primitive<br /> 1:01:23 Tokemak<br /> 1:03:54 Closing & Disclaimers</p> <p>------<br /> Resources:</p> <p>Scoopy on Twitter:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/scupytrooples?s=20">https://twitter.com/scupytrooples?s=20</a> <br /> Scoopy’s DeFi 2.0 Thread<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/scupytrooples/status/1447398430574141445?s=20"> https://twitter.com/scupytrooples/status/1447398430574141445?s=20</a> </p> <p>Alchemix Links:<br /> - Twitter: <a href= "https://twitter.com/AlchemixFi?s=20">https://twitter.com/AlchemixFi?s=20</a> <br /> - Discord: <a href= "https://discord.com/invite/alchemix">https://discord.com/invite/alchemix</a> <br /> - Website: <a href= "https://alchemix.fi/">https://alchemix.fi/</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

Axie Infinity has tapped into the passion and potential of dedicated communities, building an entire economy around its protocol. As the traditional gaming market flounders, new strides are being taken to revolutionize how we game, how we work, and how we own.</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 /> 📣 ZERION | Your Gateway to the Metaverse!<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Zerion">https://bankless.cc/Zerion</a> <br /> ------<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 /> 6:00 What To Call This?<br /> 11:16 Play-to-Earn<br /> 15:56 Loot Squad<br /> 19:38 Yield Guild<br /> 24:21 Illuvium<br /> 30:54 How Big is Crypto Gaming?<br /> 37:43 Community<br /> 42:32 Making People Nice<br /> 50:00 Will Games Still Be Fun?<br /> 58:15 Ponzi Games<br /> 1:01:24 Crypto Gaming Roadmap<br /> 1:07:14 Closing & Disclaimers</p> <p>------<br /> Resources</p> <p>Bryce on Twitter:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/brycent_?s=20">https://twitter.com/brycent_?s=20</a> <br /> Gabby on Twitter:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/gabusch?s=20">https://twitter.com/gabusch?s=20</a> <br /> Kieran on Twitter:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/KieranWarwick?s=20">https://twitter.com/KieranWarwick?s=20</a> </p> <p>------<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

<p>Jai Bhavnani is the Co-Founder of Rari Capital, the DAO behind a quickly growing suite of DeFi protocols. Most popular is Fuse, the open interest rate protocol that allows users to lend and borrow digital assets. As Fuse approaches $1B total value locked, Rari recently announced permissionless Fuse pool creation. This means that anyone with liquidity can create a money market for their digital asset of choice.</p> <p>Rari finds itself at the center of what is being described as DeFi 2.0, a loose collection of newer DeFi protocols which orbit around novel tokenomics, game theory, and memes. Tune in to find out where Rari sits among resident DeFi blue chips, and the future of young people pioneering in the crypto space.</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 /> 🎖 CLAIM YOUR BADGE: <a href= "https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/-guide-2-using-the-bankless-badge"> https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/-guide-2-using-the-bankless-badge</a> <br /> ------<br /> 📣 ZERION | Your Gateway to the Metaverse!<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Zerion">https://bankless.cc/Zerion</a> <br /> ------<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/dharma">https://bankless.cc/UniGrants/dharma</a> </p> <p>------<br /> Topics Covered:</p> <p>0:00 Intro<br /> 10:00 Jai Bhavnani<br /> 16:22 Rari Capital<br /> 20:47 The Long Tail & Risk<br /> 29:02 Assessing Risk & Yield<br /> 33:08 Total Value Locked<br /> 38:46 Roadmap<br /> 44:00 ZoomerFi, DeFi 2.0<br /> 52:47 Build Fast, Break Fast<br /> 58:19 Crossing $1B<br /> 1:00:51 Regulation & Zoomers<br /> 1:04:54 What's Left to Build?<br /> 1:08:12 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>Rari Capital:<br /> <a href="https://rari.capital/">https://rari.capital/</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

<p>Pet3r Pan got into crypto around 2017, writing his Before Bitcoin series and finding his way into the Ethereum community. As a core member of the movement, Pet3r is one of the earliest DAO pioneers as a champion of Metacartel.</p> <p>This conversation revolves around the power of curating people and projects. Metacartel has instantiated itself as a loose-ish collective of certified 'good people.' Trust, positive sum personalities, and vibes are all forms of capital under this new paradigm.

<p>Rune Christensen is the Founder of MakerDAO and one of the pioneers of the DeFi space. As one of the earliest DeFi protocols, Maker set precedents for tokenomics, governance, and use cases. Maker is setting new precedents with the recent announcement of Société Générale's proposal for a Maker loan using bond tokens.</p> <p>As a thought leader in Crypto, Rune has had some fascinating takes lately on the plausibility of a multichain future, as well as how incentives can turn DAI into a clean money. From maximalism to environmentalism, this conversation explores it all.</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 /> 📣 ZERION | Your Gateway to the Metaverse!<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Zerion">https://bankless.cc/Zerion</a> <br /> ------<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/Matcha">https://bankless.cc/Matcha</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 Rune Christensen of MakerDAO<br /> 12:20 Société Générale<br /> 20:32 Why Maker?<br /> 23:48 Criticizing the Multi-Chain World<br /> 41:19 Optimizing for Home<br /> 49:06 On Maximalism<br /> 58:13 Nativity and Monetary Premium<br /> 1:07:47 Does Decentralization Matter?<br /> 1:12:53 Multi-Chain Propaganda<br /> 1:20:00 Maker as Clean Money<br /> 1:29:56 Aligning Human & Market Values<br /> 1:41:05 Environmental Economic Crisis<br /> 1:46:26 How Maker Gets Clean<br /> 1:53:24 Narratives<br /> 2:02:41 Solarpunk Tokenomics<br /> 2:09:53 Updates on DeFi<br /> 2:12:12 Closing & Disclaimers</p> <p>------<br /> Resources:</p> <p>Rune on Twitter:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/RuneKek?s=20">https://twitter.com/RuneKek?s=20</a> <br /> MakerDAO:<br /> <a href= "https://makerdao.com/en/">https://makerdao.com/en/</a> <br /> The Case for Clean Money: <br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/RuneKek/status/1445072416598859781?s=20">https://twitter.com/RuneKek/status/1445072416598859781?s=20</a> <br /> The L1 Future:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/RuneKek/status/1436454065760788483?s=20">https://twitter.com/RuneKek/status/1436454065760788483?s=20</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.
