<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. From Devin's perspective, the energy surrounding NFTs right now is crypto native. This means that this boom starts at the center of crypto culture and extends outwards from there.</p> <p>We also discuss scaling and gas fees, the spectrum of centralization, the metaverse, and the OpenSea's recent front-running scandal. Building with an open mind and conviction is a key reason why OpenSea finds itself at the center of the NFT markets today, and it looks like we may just be getting started.</p> <p>✨EXCLUSIVE EPISODE DEBRIEF✨<br /> <a href= "https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/exclusive-debrief-opensea-and-the">https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/exclusive-debrief-opensea-and-the</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 /> 📣 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 /> 4:00 Devin Finzer<br /> 6:05 The Crypto Native NFT Boom<br /> 9:15 Building With an Open Mind<br /> 11:36 OpenSea at the Center<br /> 18:06 Scaling Under Pressure<br /> 22:24 Gas Fees<br /> 25:01 Social Media & Users<br /> 32:00 Before OpenSea & The Bear<br /> 39:50 When NFTs Heated Up<br /> 41:45 The Front Running Scandal<br /> 48:21 The Centralization Spectrum<br /> 55:31 What’s the Metaverse?<br /> 58:24 Rapid Fire Questions<br /> 1:01:43 Closing & Disclaimers</p> <p>------<br /> Resources:</p> <p>Devin on Twitter:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/dfinzer?s=20">https://twitter.com/dfinzer?s=20</a> <br /> OpenSea:<br /> <a href="https://opensea.io/">https://opensea.io/</a> <br /> NFT Bull Market Episode:<br /> <a href= "https://youtu.be/cmLJHlNlH1s">https://youtu.be/cmLJHlNlH1s</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

<p>Dmitry Buterin joins David for the premiere of Layer Zero, a new Bankless podcast that explores the human side of Ethereum. Beneath the technological innovation and socioeconomic disruption happening in the DeFi space, there are human beings – really interesting, thoughtful, passionate human beings. Layer Zero is at the bottom of the economic stack: the people.</p> <p>For the debut episode, it only made sense to bring on Dmitry, father of Ethereum founder Vitalik. Topics include Vitalik’s youth, Soviet Russia, and universal consciousness, but they don’t stop there. How often does Dmitry check ETH Price? What’s his workout routine? Tune in and find out.</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 /> 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>🦄 UNISWAP | DECENTRALIZED FUNDING<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/UniGrants">https://bankless.cc/UniGrants</a> </p> <p>------<br /> 📣 TracerDAO | Building DeFi Infrastructure.

<p>Ryan Selkis is the Founder and CEO the crypto data analytics platform Messari. Last time Ryan was on the podcast, we debated Ether’s properties as a money and the triple point asset thesis. We revisit many of these topics and explore what has changed in the landscape over the past year.</p> <p>However, we also discuss a perhaps more pressing issue: the state of regulation for the industry. Ryan is poised to take a strong leadership role in the political side of crypto, and he’s developing offensive strategies for the crypto vs. nation-state conflict. Listen in to learn why he’s now a single-issue voter.</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 /> 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>🦄 UNISWAP | DECENTRALIZED FUNDING<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/UniGrants">https://bankless.cc/UniGrants</a> </p> <p>------<br /> 📣 TracerDAO | Building DeFi Infrastructure.

This is the backdrop for Electronic Markets 1.0, when ‘open outcry’ was the norm for the exchange of equities. When internet technology first emerged, it was brought to these markets, such that geographically distinct markets were fused by the instant communication of prices, bids, and offers.</p> <p>New technologies come quickly to the markets, giving an advantage to those who adopt the fastest. Alongside traders and brokers are the technologists, the quants and computer scientists who leveraged their understanding of networks to revolutionize trading. This first wave of electronic markets lasted until the dawn of personal computers, home internet, and E-trade.</p> <p>This second wave further revolutionized modern exchanges, distributing public access while consolidating liquidity. Synergistic with the dot-com boom, this explosion of retail investing once again turned exchanges on their heads. Look around now, and observe that we are in a third wave of new technologies applied to markets: Electronic Markets 3.0. Catalyzed first by mobile phones and now DeFi, the markets have once again been uprooted and fundamentally changed.</p> <p>What does this all mean? Where do we go from here?

<p>ETH Staking Panelists:<br /> Darren Langley (Rocket Pool)<br /> Vasiliy Shapovalov (Lido)<br /> Ejaaz Ahamadeen (Coinbase)</p> <p>With Ethereum's switch to Proof-of-Stake around the corner, a full spectrum of staking options has emerged. Many who want to participate will not be able to run their own self-custodied 24/7 validator node, and not everyone has the required 32 ETH. For these folks, Staking-as-a-Service allows broader participation in the PoS consensus mechanism.<br /> <br /> To discuss this, team members from Coinbase, Lido, and Rocket Pool come together in this panel to explore their approaches to the world of ETH staking!</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 /> 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> <br /> -----</p> <p>Not financial or tax advice.
