<p>Griff Green is a builder and community manager in the Ethereum space. He is also a hippie, a former chemical engineer, and Seattle Supersonics super-fan. A true individual, Griff opted out of society after becoming disillusioned with modern institutions, traveling in a van with gold and silver until he heard about Bitcoin.</p> <p>Falling down the crypto rabbit hole led Griff to become a deep Ethereum community member, eventually launching The DAO.

<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>Devin Finzer, founder & CEO of OpenSea, returns to Bankless to discuss the NFT boom and the role of OpenSea at the center of it all.
