In this week's State of the Nation, we bring on guys who have done both: Preston Van Loon and Will Villanueva.</p> <p>Preston Van Loon is a former Google software engineer who switched to crypto full-time after Vitalik put 1000 ETH into Prysmatic Labs, which Preston founded. Prysmatic labs is now the most popular ETH 2 client. Preston is also the co-founder of a brand new DeFi app ‘Cryptex’, which is a collateralized synthetic asset that tracks the total market cap of all crypto-assets.</p> <p>Will Villanueva is a former team member of the Quilt team at Consensys and contributed to a mountain of R&D on Ethereum sharding. Will is now the CEO of Element, which offers high yield fixed income for DeFi assets. Element works by breaking a single token into two different ones; a yield-bearing token, and a principle token.</p> <p>We brought both Will and Preston because their unique work histories of first helping build the Ethereum Protocol and now building DeFi apps. We discuss how their experiences have shaped their current projects, the trajectory of Ethereum and its app layer, and the timing of it all.</p> <p>"The Hardest Problems Draw the Smartest People."<br /> - Preston Van Loon</p> <p>------<br /> Resources:</p> <p>Cryptex:<br /> <a href= "https://cryptex.finance/">https://cryptex.finance/</a> </p> <p>Element Finance:<br /> <a href="https://element.fi/">https://element.fi/</a> </p> <p>Preston on Twitter:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/preston_vanloon?s=20">https://twitter.com/preston_vanloon?s=20</a> </p> <p>Will on Twitter:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/wjvill?s=20">https://twitter.com/wjvill?s=20</a> </p> <p>------<br /> This Week on Bankless:</p> <p>⚒️ How to Use dYdX (4/13: <a href= "https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/how-to-trade-on-the-dydx-rollup"> https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/how-to-trade-on-the-dydx-rollup</a> <br /> 📈 Market Monday (4/12): <a href= "https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/coinbase-week-market-monday">https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/coinbase-week-market-monday</a> <br /> 🎙️Podcast w/ Hester Peirce (4/12): <a href= "https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/-the-sec-and-defi-hester-peirce">https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/-the-sec-and-defi-hester-peirce</a> <br /> 🧢 Weekly Action Recap (4/10): <a href= "https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/the-coinbase-tsunami-weekly-recap"> https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/the-coinbase-tsunami-weekly-recap</a> <br /> 🗞️ Weekly Rollup (4/9): https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/-rollup-coinbase-ipo-fei-protocol<br /> 🏴 dYdX & StarkWare (4/6): <a href= "https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/sotn-41-scaling-defi-with-dydx-and"> https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/sotn-41-scaling-defi-with-dydx-and</a> <br /> ⚒️ How to Cry

The main goals of the Security & Exchange Commission are threefold – to protect investors; maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets; and facilitate capital formation. The SEC governs far more than crypto, but increasing attention is coming to the space as capital gravitates into it.</p> <p>Regulating crypto begins with officially establishing the asset class, e.g. currencies, capital assets, commodities, equities, et al. The next step is giving these assets legitimacy in existing financial institutions through exchange-traded products like a Bitcoin ETF.</p> <p>Below the base money layer, there exists Layer 0, the social layer. Layer 0 must be willing to officially play ball with the cryptoeconomy, and that's what makes regulators like Hester so important. The net optimization of these layers makes for an unequivocally better society: a more inclusive, equitable, and efficient one.</p> <p>Hester believes in governing principles, not specific technologies. It's important here to remember the three main goals of the SEC. The value propositions of crypto – providing a permissionless, trustless, and verifiable means to transact – are in accord with the values of a free state. The role of government is to encourage and protect mutually beneficial, voluntary engagement among citizens.</p> <p>Although the harmony between crypto's core values and those of a free state are readily apparent to a seasoned Bankless listener, the rest of Layer 0 must still be convinced. Crypto is a frontier with infinite possibilities, and effectively regulating such an ecosystem is a massive task. However, based on this conversation, there seem to be many reasons to be optimistic about the future of Crypto & DeFi regulation.</p> <p>------<br /> Resources:</p> <p>🚀 Atomic Trading 🚀<br /> <a href= "https://www.sec.gov/news/speech/peirce-atomic-trading-2021-02-22">https://www.sec.gov/news/speech/peirce-atomic-trading-2021-02-22</a> </p> <p>Get Ready For Self-Driving Banks<br /> <a href= "https://www.ft.com/content/c1caca5b-01f7-41be-85a4-3ecb883f2417">https://www.ft.com/content/c1caca5b-01f7-41be-85a4-3ecb883f2417</a> </p> <p>Gary Gensler MIT Crypto Course<br /> <a href= "https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUl4u3cNGP63UUkfL0onkxF6MYgVa04Fn"> https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUl4u3cNGP63UUkfL0onkxF6MYgVa04Fn</a> </p> <p>Hester on Twitter:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/HesterPeirce?s=20">https://twitter.com/HesterPeirce?s=20</a> </p> <p>------<br /> This Week on Bankless:</p> <p>🧢 Weekly Action Recap (4/10): <a href= "https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/the-coinbase-tsunami-weekly-recap"> https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/the-coinbase-tsunami-weekly-recap</a> <br /> 🗞️ Weekly Rollup (4/9): <a href= "https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/-rollup-coinbase-ipo-fei-protocol">https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/-rollup-coinbase-ipo-fei-protocol</a> <b

The nature of perpetual contracts allow for flexibility and expression in the financial mechanisms powering the contract, giving traders the ability to use leverage. These types of contracts attract high-level, high-frequency traders and make scalability crucial for a platform to be capital-efficient.</p> <p>StarkEx is StarkWare's scalability app, which uses StarkWare's Cairo, a Turing Complete coding platform, to support Layer 2 Scaling for transfers, trading, derivatives, and NFTs. dYdX rebuilt its interface, backend, and order-book; it then paired with StarkEx to create a scaled, decentralized derivatives exchange. Throughout the development and launch of its new product, dYdX has continued to emphasize the DeFi core values of being non-custodial, trustless, and permissionless.</p> <p>A major upgrade is cross-margining on dYdX, which allows users to provide universal collateral, instead of having to provide collateral for each market. Other improvements include lower gas prices, increased oracle performance, higher maximum leverage, and no minimum trade size. With these upgrades, dYdX offers better performance with no loss in decentralization or security.</p> <p>This is how DeFi needs to scale – increasing performance while maintaining decentralization and security.</p> <p>------</p> <p>Resources:</p> <p>dYdX Announcement Post:<br /> <a href= "https://dydx.exchange/blog/public">https://dydx.exchange/blog/public</a> </p> <p>dYdX:<br /> <a href= "https://dydx.exchange/">https://dydx.exchange/</a> </p> <p>StarkWare:<br /> <a href="https://starkware.co/">https://starkware.co/</a> </p> <p>Antonio on Twitter:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/AntonioMJuliano?s=20">https://twitter.com/AntonioMJuliano?s=20</a> </p> <p>Uri on Twitter:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/ukolodny?s=20">https://twitter.com/ukolodny?s=20</a> </p> <p>An Incomplete Guide to Rollups:<br /> <a href= "https://vitalik.ca/general/2021/01/05/rollup.html">https://vitalik.ca/general/2021/01/05/rollup.html</a> </p> <p>------<br /> This Week on Bankless:</p> <p>⚒️ How to Crypto Tax (4/7): <a href= "https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/how-to-do-crypto-taxes-for-the-lazy"> https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/how-to-do-crypto-taxes-for-the-lazy</a> <br /> 🎙️Hayden Adams Podcast (4/6): <a href= "https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/-uniswap-hayden-adams">https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/-uniswap-hayden-adams</a> <br /> 🧢 Weekly Action Recap (4/3): <a href= "https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/-rollup-visa-on-e

Before inventing DeFi's largest asset exchange, he was laid off from his mechanical engineering job in the summer of 2017. Excited by Ethereum and Vitalik's blog post on automated market making, he learned to code smart contracts using Solidity.</p> <p>Uniswap's V1 Mainnet launch came in the middle of the crypto bear market in November 2018. Since then, it has experienced exponential growth and traction, with liquidity providers like MakerDAO bolstering Uniswap's early ecosystem. Uniswap V2 brought pivotal upgrades to the user experience, bug fixes, and improvements to the Oracle architecture.</p> <p>From its genesis, Uniswap has emphasized the decentralized, permissionless properties of Ethereum. Uniswap's tools enable anyone to create a liquidity pool to exchange on, and it has become the de facto hub of DeFi as a sandbox for the 'long tail' of endless decentralized assets. Uniswap's openness, functionality, and legitimacy have allowed it to rise to its current position as a DeFi staple.</p> <p>On September 16th, 2020, Uniswap launched its UNI token with a widely distributed airdrop to each Ethereum address that had interacted on the Uniswap platform – over 500,000 accounts. This drop exemplifies DeFi's promises of wealth distribution, communal equity, and decentralized governance.</p> <p>On March 23rd, 2021, Uniswap announced V3 to go live on Ethereum mainnet in May of 2021. The most significant change in this upgrade is concentrated liquidity, which allows individual liquidity providers to control where their liquidity is allocated along the price curve for a given asset pair. This allows freedom for infinite liquidity providing strategies and presents a flexibility that incentivizes an optimized trading curve.</p> <p>In this 2.5 hour episode, Hayden walks us through the entirety of Uniswap, from its genesis to its present state and beyond.</p> <p>------<br /> Resources:</p> <p>Uniswap<br /> <a href="https://uniswap.org/">https://uniswap.org/</a> </p> <p>Hayden on Twitter<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/haydenzadams?s=20">https://twitter.com/haydenzadams?s=20</a> </p> <p>V0 Birthday Blog:<br /> <a href= "https://medium.com/uniswap/uniswap-birthday-blog-v0-7a91f3f6a1ba">https://medium.com/uniswap/uniswap-birthday-blog-v0-7a91f3f6a1ba</a> </p> <p>V3 Announcement post:<br /> <a href= "https://uniswap.org/blog/uniswap-v3/">https://uniswap.org/blog/uniswap-v3/</a> </p> <p>Vitalik's Market Maker Blog Post:<br /> <a href= "https://vitalik.ca/general/2017/06/22/marketmakers.html">https://vitalik.ca/general/2017/06/22/marketmakers.html</a> </p> <p>------<br /> This Week on Bankless:</p> <p>🧢 Weekly Action Recap (4/3): <a href= "https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/-rollup-visa-on-eth-snl-nft-skit">https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/-rollup-visa-on-eth-snl-nft-skit</a> <br /> 🗞️Weekly Rollup (4/2): <a href= "https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/ethereum-visa-weekly-recap-526"> https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/ethereum-visa-weekly-recap-526</a> <br /> 🚨 Alpha Alert: Fei Protocol: <a href= "https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/-alpha-alert-fei-protocol-g

Rob Paone is the founder of Proof of Talent, a recruiting and search firm that places candidates in professional roles in the crypto space. Few people are more equipped to discuss the job market in the cryptocurrency industry.</p> <p>Rob is also known by his Youtube persona, Crypto Bobby. He has transitioned into the space's premier career recruiter and is taking advantage of crypto's huge growth potential. In the legacy world, most of the profitable ideas and services have already been capitalized. Crypto exists on the other end of the spectrum, where the market gaps are vast and ripe for opportunity.</p> <p>Rob's fundamental approach for candidates seeking employment is one of bootstrapping. The market is geared towards those with a technical background, but the key is finding what sets you apart and proving it. Passion and knowledge should naturally turn into finding like-minded communities and contributing.</p> <p>There is a premium on authenticity, commitment, and value. For those actively seeking a profession in crypto, there are ways to get involved and make yourself invaluable.

<p>Hasu is a pioneer and thought leader in the world of cryptoeconomic research.</p> <p>He is a rare voice in crypto, unafraid to speak his mind and break ranks with both Ethereans and Bitcoiners. His takes were often varied and elusive… until the EIP-1559 proposal.

In his second appearance on the pod, we dive deeply into EIP-1559, covering its technicals but also the social & cultural implications of the proposal.</p> <p>When it comes to the field of cryptoeconomics, Hasu is most compelled by research on establishing and maintening economic security. EIP-1559 embodies these concepts through its transaction fee dynamics, regulation of gas prices, and novel mechanisms for users to buy transactions on the network.</p> <p>Properly incentivizing validators to come to consensus is necessary for a cryptoeconomically secure platform. EIP-1559 aims to accomplish this by regulating the consumption of resources on the network, fixing the price of gas on a block while allowing its quantity to float.</p> <p>The changes under EIP-1559 allow Ethereum to incentivize its deflationary mechanism, mitigate Miner Extracted Value (MEV), and improve the user experience for individuals transacting on the Ethereum network. Tune in as Hasu's refreshing and credible perspective conceptualizes this multi-faceted cryptoeconomic system.</p> <p>------<br /> RESOURCES:</p> <p>Uncommon Core Blog/Podcast:<br /> <a href= "https://uncommoncore.co/">https://uncommoncore.co/</a> </p> <p>Derbit Insights:<br /> <a href= "https://insights.deribit.com/market-research/">https://insights.deribit.com/market-research/</a> </p> <p>Hasu on Twitter:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/hasufl?s=20">https://twitter.com/hasufl?s=20</a> </p> <p>Some of Hasu’s Writings:<br /> -Analysis of EIP-1559 <a href= "https://insights.deribit.com/market-research/analysis-of-eip-1559/"> https://insights.deribit.com/market-research/analysis-of-eip-1559/</a> <br /> -Guide to EIP-1559 <a href= "https://uncommoncore.co/eip-1559/">https://uncommoncore.co/eip-1559/</a> <br /> -The future of money <a href= "https://insights.deribit.com/market-research/the-future-of-money-could-be-discretionary/"> https://insights.deribit.com/market-research/the-future-of-money-could-be-discretionary/</a> </p> <p>EIP-1559 on the Horizon<br /> <a href= "https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/eip-1559-on-the-horizon-market-monday-37f"> https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/eip-1559-on-the-horizon-market-monday-37f</a> </p> <p>The Bull Case for Cryptography<br /> <a href= "https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/-moon-math-the-bull-case-for-cryptography"> https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/-moon-math-the-bull-case-for-cryptography</a> </p> <p>------<br /> THIS WEEK ON BANKLESS:</p> <p>🦄 Alpha Leak | Uniswap V3 (3/23)<br /> <a href= "https://youtu.be/TRJYs7v7gYo">https://youtu.be/TRJYs7v7gYo</a> </p> <p>🎙️ Ultra Sound Money | Justin Drake (3/22)<br /> <a href= "https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/-ultra-sound-money-justin-drake&#

What do they know about crypto? We bring on David Grider of Fundstrat to answer these important questions for us. If an asset is legitimate, it will inevitably end up on Wall Street, the heart-center of global finance. David embodies the growing bridge from traditional finance to crypto, and he sees the space as increasingly on the radar of high-level investors. Crypto should be understood as making the internet an emerging market.</p> <p>For David, the tipping point came as crypto boasted a trillion-dollar market cap. The finance space is not uniform, and some spheres have been more quick to adapt and adopt than others. As crypto becomes more standardized and accepted, it will be easier to continue this trend in accordance with the Lindy effect – the idea that life expectancy decreases over time with things like technology and concepts.</p> <p>A general willingness to adopt must also be paired with necessary technologies and infrastructure to support custody and investment vehicles, and these things take time. Wall Street is starting to recognize changes in the current monetary regime, and trailblazers like Fundstrat are making this change more real and accessible.</p> <p>------<br /> Resources:</p> <p>David's Tweet Thread<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/David_Grid/status/1369417235761102855?s=20">https://twitter.com/David_Grid/status/1369417235761102855?s=20</a> </p> <p>Fundstrat<br /> <a href= "https://fundstrat.com/">https://fundstrat.com/</a> </p> <p>David on Twitter<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/David_Grid?s=20">https://twitter.com/David_Grid?s=20</a> </p> <p>------<br /> THIS WEEK ON BANKLESS:</p> <p>🎙️ ULTRA SOUND MONEY (3/22): <a href= "https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/-ultra-sound-money-justin-drake">https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/-ultra-sound-money-justin-drake</a> <br /> 🗞️ Weekly Rollup (3/19): <a href= "https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/-rollup-elon-musk-nft-song-stimulus"> https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/-rollup-elon-musk-nft-song-stimulus</a> <br /> 🧢 Weekly Action Recap (3/20): <a href= "https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/another-1400-weekly-recap">https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/another-1400-weekly-recap</a> <br /> ⚫ Token Thursday - Ren (3/18): <a href= "https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/rens-trillion-dollar-opportunity"> https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/rens-trillion-dollar-opportunity</a> <br /> ✏️ Ultra Sound Money (3/15): <a href= "https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/eth-is-ultra-sound-money-market-monday"> https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/eth-is-ultra-sound-money-market-monday</a> <br /> 🐦 Follow Bankless on Twitter: <a href= "https://twitter.com/BanklessHQ">https://twitter.com/BanklessHQ</a> </p> <p>Follow Bankless on Twitter<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/BanklessHQ">https://twitter.com/BanklessHQ</a> <br /> -----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

<p>Justin Drake is a researcher at the Ethereum Foundation and is leading the charge of applied cryptography to the Ethereum network. Last time he was on the podcast, we discussed cryptography as the foundation for what we called ‘Moon Math.’</p> <p>This week, Justin returns to the show to discuss Ethereum’s economic engine and how its design decisions (EIP-1559, Proof-Of-Stake, Issuance, etc.) emerges as an incredibly bullish evolution of sound money: Ultra Sound Money.<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 /> GO BANKLESS WITH THESE SPONSOR TOOLS:</p> <p>⭐️ AAVE - BORROW OR LEND YOUR ASSETS<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/aave">https://bankless.cc/aave</a> </p> <p>🚀 GEMINI - MOST TRUSTED EXCHANGE AND ONRAMP<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/go-gemini">https://bankless.cc/go-gemini</a> </p> <p>💳 MONOLITH - GET THE HOLY GRAIL OF BANKLESS VISA CARDS <a href= "https://bankless.cc/monolith">https://bankless.cc/monolith</a> </p> <p>📱 DHARMA - MOBILE ONRAMP DIRECTLY INTO DEFI<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/dharma">https://bankless.cc/dharma</a> <br /> ------</p> <p>🎙️ 57 - Ultra Sound Money | Justin Drake</p> <p>Last time Justin was on the Bankless podcast, we went in-depth about cryptocurrency's primitive tools: cryptographic hashes and signatures. He described these as the fire and wheel of cryptography technology. This time, we dive into the specific economic design of the Ethereum network and how it is positioned to expand upon the 'stone-age' cryptography of Proof of Work.</p> <p>Given Ethereum's expressive capabilities, its future has infinite possibilities in terms of both innovation and development. To explore Ethereum's value proposition as Ultra Sound Money, we use the model of the Ethereum Economic Engine. In this metaphor, the basic energy harnessed is monetary value, stored in the 'engine' battery via tokens. The engine itself is structured by the network's consensus mechanism, Proof of Stake. The engine's efficiency is maximized through the issuance structures proposed in EIP-1559.</p> <p>All of these components (explored in great detail throughout the conversation) contribute to the concept of ETH as 'Ultra Sound Money.' Soundness describes the degree of efficiency and security in the storage and exchange of monetary value. Economic security, anti-fragility, optimized issuance, efficiency, and scarcity combine to create a robust, maximally effective network. This could be the best episode we've ever recorded. ETH is Ultra Sound Money. Pass it on.</p> <p>------<br /> 🧑‍🎓 Want access to this episode's exclusive Debrief?

The landscape for NFTs has changed drastically in the last 6 months, but Andrew's approach has remained generally similar.</p> <p>Andrew updates us on his expectations on the future of NFTs in the context of the current boom. He addresses the notion of the 'NFT Bubble' and the blurred distinction between memes and value. We dive into Proof-of-Work vs. Proof-of-Stake and what makes for a genuine NFT – in terms of both content and distribution.</p> <p>Through the trials of this cycle, we have found many NFT-specific insights and lessons. Andrew explores the successes and failures of experimentation in this space. We highlight Cryptopunks, which boasts an organic release, being the first of its kind, and mass community adoption.</p> <p>------<br /> RESOURCES:</p> <p>The Bull Case for NFTs<br /> <a href= "https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/the-bull-case-for-nfts-jake-burkhman"> https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/the-bull-case-for-nfts-jake-burkhman</a> </p> <p>Andrew on Twitter<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/AndrewSteinwold?s=20">https://twitter.com/AndrewSteinwold?s=20</a> </p> <p>Zima Red - Andrew's Podcast<br /> <a href= "https://andrewsteinwold.substack.com/">https://andrewsteinwold.substack.com/</a> </p> <p>Sfermion<br /> <a href="https://www.sfermion.io/">https://www.sfermion.io/</a> </p> <p>------<br /> THIS WEEK ON BANKLESS</p> <p>🗞️ Weekly Rollup (3/12): <a href= "https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/rollup-march-2">https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/rollup-march-2</a> <br /> 🧢 Weekly Action Recap (3/13): <a href= "https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/weekly-action-recap-683">https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/weekly-action-recap-683</a> <br /> 🛠️ Trading Synthetic Stocks (3/9): <a href= "https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/how-to-trade-synthetic-stocks"> https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/how-to-trade-synthetic-stocks</a> <br /> 🏴 State of the Nation | 3LAU (3/9): <a href= "https://youtu.be/5KY9W3Ybmdc">https://youtu.be/5KY9W3Ybmdc</a> <br /> ✏️ The Digital Culture Revolution: <a href= "https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/defi-options-strategies-for-traders"> https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/defi-options-strategies-for-traders</a> <br /> ⚫ The Case for $100 SUSHI: <a href= "https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/the-case-for-100-sushi">https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/the-case-for-100-sushi</a> <br /> 🐦 Follow Bankless on Twitter: <a href= "https://twitter.com/BanklessHQ">https://twitter.com/BanklessHQ</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

From February 25-28, he auctioned a total of 33 NFTs commemorating his album 'Ultraviolet', originally released in 2018. 3LAU discusses how he applied his knowledge of game theory to optimize the auction mechanism. The sales totaled $11.7M.</p> <p>3LAU's biggest takeaway from all this is that the music industry is ripe for disruption. NFTs can remove intermediaries and bridge the gap between fans and creators. Transparent, immutable digital goods are increasingly accessible to the public. These tools promote direct-to-consumer transactions, democratization of data, and self-distribution.</p> <p>The argument here is that given the technology of distributed ledgers, record labels are now obsolete. With an investable layer, fans are able to contribute capital and hold equity in an artist's work. 3LAU is pioneering how decentralized tokens can be optimized for medium-dependent art spaces. The future of art is decentralized, allowing infinite collaborative possibilities among fans and creators of all forms of media.</p> <p>Justin on Twitter<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/3LAU?s=20">https://twitter.com/3LAU?s=20</a> </p> <p>3LAU Website<br /> <a href="https://3lau.com/">https://3lau.com/</a> </p> <p>3LAU NFT Auction<br /> <a href= "https://nft.3lau.com/#/auction">https://nft.3lau.com/#/auction</a> </p> <p>------<br /> 📣REGISTER FOR COINDESK CONSENSUS 2021 AND SAVE $20 W/ BANKLESS<br /> <a href= "http://bankless.cc/consensus2021%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B">http://bankless.cc/consensus2021​​</a> <br /> ------<br /> CATCH UP ON BANKLESS:</p> <p>🗞️ Weekly Rollup (3/5): <a href= "https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/-rollup-3lau-and-grimes-nfts-paypal"> https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/-rollup-3lau-and-grimes-nfts-paypal</a> <br /> 🧢 Weekly Action Recap (3/6): <a href= "https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/weekly-action-recap-177">https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/weekly-action-recap-177</a> <br /> 📈 Market Monday (3/8): <a href= "https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/eip-1559-on-the-horizon-market-monday"> https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/eip-1559-on-the-horizon-market-monday</a> <br /> 🎙️ Podcast | Bankless 2.0 (3/8): <a href= "https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/-welcome-to-bankless-2021-edition">https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/-welcome-to-bankless-2021-edition</a> <br /> 🐦 Follow Bankless on Twitter: <a href= "https://twitter.com/BanklessHQ">https://twitter.com/BanklessHQ</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

The first is ‘Self-Directed Retail Investors,’ who has bootstrapped crypto from the ground up. The second is ‘Institutional Investors,’ including Venture Capital Firms, Endowments, Foundations, and other large funds. The third – and most neglected – is capital under the ‘Financial Advisor’ umbrella. This is where the 1%-er money is, and this bucket is just now gaining access to the crypto space.</p> <p>The Financial Advisor bucket holds $30-$40 Trillion in assets, and the minds in this space are changing as crypto is increasingly legitimized through improving infrastructure and the strong recovery from the 2017 cycle. Building efficient vehicles to bridge this wealth into crypto is critical for large-scale adoption.</p> <p>This is where Bitwise comes in. Bitwise manages around $1 Billion in assets and created the first Crypto Index Fund, offering a variety of products to retail investors, accredited investors, and financial advisors. Most recently, Bitwise launched its DeFi Crypto Index Fund, exposing financial advisors to the world of DeFi. Analogues to Legacy Finance like Price-to-Earnings Ratios and Cash Flows make DeFi compelling and understandable, but DeFi is showing itself to be “cheaper, more efficient, more open, more transparent, [and] more verifiable.”</p> <p>------<br /> RELEVANT LINKS:</p> <p>Matt on Twitter:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/Matt_Hougan?s=20">https://twitter.com/Matt_Hougan?s=20</a> </p> <p>Bitwise:<br /> <a href= "https://www.bitwiseinvestments.com/">https://www.bitwiseinvestments.com/</a> </p> <p>Matt's CFA Report on Cryptoassets:<br /> <a href= "https://www.cfainstitute.org/-/media/documents/article/rf-brief/rfbr-cryptoassets.ashx"> https://www.cfainstitute.org/-/media/documents/article/rf-brief/rfbr-cryptoassets.ashx</a> </p> <p>Makerburn<br /> <a href= "https://makerburn.com/#/">https://makerburn.com/#/</a> </p> <p>------<br /> 📣REGISTER FOR COINDESK CONSENSUS 2021 AND SAVE $20 W/ BANKLESS<br /> <a href= "http://bankless.cc/consensus2021">http://bankless.cc/consensus2021</a> <br /> ------</p> <p>CATCH UP ON BANKLESS:</p> <p>🗞️ Weekly Rollup (2/26): <a href= "https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/-rollup-big-dip-nft-culture-coinbase"> https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/-rollup-big-dip-nft-culture-coinbase</a> <br /> 🧢 Weekly Action Recap (2/28): <a href= "https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/weekly-action-recap-f41">https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/weekly-action-recap-f41</a> <br /> 📈 Market Monday (3/1): <a href= "https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/">https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/</a> <br /> 🎙️ Podcast with Mark Cuban (3/1): <a href= "https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/-why-defi-is-the-future-mark-cuban"> https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/-why-defi-is-the-future-mark-

We discuss crypto from his broad perspective, focusing on the Federal Reserve, the Dollar, and our take on his ideas – The Crypto Milkshake Theory.</p> <p>We observed the Federal Reserve coming into the limelight in the past year, with increased attention on Jerome Powell and other central bankers as they become more like players than referees.</p> <p>Brent lays out how our system (and all fiat currencies) are built for exponential growth. An exponentially growing market will be increasingly susceptible to larger and more frequent volatility. This calls for stronger central bank action, which accelerates these fundamental issues.</p> <p>Interestingly, Brent believes in the strength of the Dollar (at least in the short-term), expecting it to be the last fiat currency to get knocked out. The COVID-19 Crash in March 2020 was an example of this deflationary volatility, and Brent views the system’s current narrative as ripe for another market crash and dollar bull run.</p> <p>On the crypto side of things, Brent sees assets like BTC as a valid store of value, and the advantages of non-sovereign wealth stores merit serious consideration. His concerns about the space involve the difficulties of using crypto as money and the power of governments to curb blockchain use. However, blockchain technology is a “genie out of the bottle” and is here to stay.</p> <p>------<br /> Brent on Twitter<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/SantiagoAuFund?s=2">https://twitter.com/SantiagoAuFund?s=2</a> </p> <p>Brent's Presentation on The Dollar Milkshake Theory<br /> <a href= "https://youtu.be/2qTOWuL7Zco">https://youtu.be/2qTOWuL7Zco</a> <br /> ------<br /> Don't stop at the video!</p> <p>Subscribe to the Bankless newsletter program<br /> <a href= "http://bankless.substack.com/%E2%80%8B">http://bankless.substack.com/​</a> </p> <p>Visit the official Bankless website<br /> <a href= "http://banklesshq.com/%E2%80%8B">http://banklesshq.com/​</a> </p> <p>Follow Bankless on Twitter<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/BanklessHQ%E2%80%8B">https://twitter.com/BanklessHQ​</a> </p> <p>Follow Ryan on Twitter<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/ryansadams%E2%80%8B">https://twitter.com/ryansadams​</a> </p> <p>Follow David on Twitter<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/TrustlessState">https://twitter.com/TrustlessState</a> ​</p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

A key piece of this change is shifting emphasis from physical private goods to digital public goods. This transition requires creative solutions to the challenges of effective governance.</p> <p>The phrase “digital nationalism” refers humanity’s recent tendency to polarize and how this extends to the internet. Both Bitcoin and Ethereum have undergone great schisms, resulting in hard forks like BCH and ETC. These phenomena in the rising political economy will likely continue.</p> <p>Vitalik walks through the tricky relationship between our financial and non-monetary social motivations. Culture and narrative can be incredibly powerful tools for innovation, but altruistic people are not the only ones with access to these things.</p> <p>Vitalik concludes with thoughts on the Big X - Big Government, Big Business, Big Tech, etc. This multidisciplinary “dense jungle” is populated by a variety of powerful groups with dynamic interrelationships, and blockchains & cryptocurrencies are set up to play a vital role.</p> <p>------<br /> Vitalik's Blog:<br /> <a href="https://vitalik.ca/">https://vitalik.ca/</a> </p> <p>Vitalik on Twitter:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/VitalikButerin">https://twitter.com/VitalikButerin</a> </p> <p>------<br /> Don't stop at the video!</p> <p>Subscribe to the Bankless newsletter program<br /> <a href= "http://bankless.substack.com/%E2%80%8B">http://bankless.substack.com/​</a> </p> <p>Visit the official Bankless website<br /> <a href= "http://banklesshq.com/%E2%80%8B">http://banklesshq.com/​</a> </p> <p>Follow Bankless on Twitter<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/BanklessHQ%E2%80%8B">https://twitter.com/BanklessHQ​</a> </p> <p>Follow Ryan on Twitter<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/ryansadams%E2%80%8B">https://twitter.com/ryansadams​</a> </p> <p>Follow David on Twitter<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/TrustlessState%E2%80%8B">https://twitter.com/TrustlessState​</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

Cameron & Tyler Winklevoss ($GME Gamestop Short-Squeeze, Robinhood, Melvin Capital)</p> <p>We bring Tyler & Cameron Winklevoss, founders of the Gemini Exchange and crypto-visionaries, to the Bankless State of the Nation. We do a deep dive into the market craze of the Gamestop ($GME) Short-Squeeze, r/Wallstreetbets, and what it means for the DeFi space.</p> <p>Topics Covered:<br /> -r/WallStreetBets<br /> -Robinhood Retail vs. Institutional Elite<br /> -Media & The Establishment<br /> -Is Traditional Finance Broken?<br /> -DeFi's Big Moment<br /> -Gemini Updates</p> <p>Cameron & Tyler Winklevoss had a heated appearance on CNBC last week to discuss the events of the Gamestop Short-Squeeze in the context of populism, the inequity of the current financial establishment, and cryptocurrency.</p> <p>Their argument centers on the relationship between censorship and centralization –problems that don't exist in the crypto landscape. The $GME craze has been the epicenter of a growing protest against the institutional elite – this protest inherently calls for decentralization and distributed power. DeFi fixes this.</p> <p>Brokerages like Robinhood having the power to limit trading based on a phone call is a war cry to adopt permissionless transacting. Cameron describes how this is an example of the people becoming disillusioned to the monopoly of modern money. The media establishment has vastly underestimated and vilified these "internet amateurs."</p> <p>The Winklevi discuss how a money-making opportunity turned into a movement demanding institutional change, flaming the fires of broken trust after events like the '08 collapse. Public forums like Twitter and Reddit have become powerful tools to organize the masses, and the sentiments seen here reflect cryptocurrency's value propositions.<br /> <br /> The big question remaining is how these events and arguments can serve as a rallying point for DeFi adoption. Cameron & Tyler are optimistic about DeFi's solutions to increasingly relevant and urgent problems in our current system.</p> <p>------<br /> Relevant Links:</p> <p>Tyler Winklevoss on Twitter<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/tyler%E2%80%8B">https://twitter.com/tyler​</a></p> <p>Cameron Winklevoss on Twitter<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/cameron%E2%80%8B">https://twitter.com/cameron​</a></p> <p>Gemini Exchange<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/go-gemini%E2%80%8B">https://bankless.cc/go-gemini​</a></p> <p>------<br /> Don't stop at the video!</p> <p>Subscribe to the Bankless newsletter program<br /> <a href= "http://bankless.substack.com/%E2%80%8B">http://bankless.substack.com/​</a></p> <p>Visit the official Bankless website<br /> <a href= "http://banklesshq.com/%E2%80%8B">http://banklesshq.com/​</a></p> <p>Follow Bankless on Twitter<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/BanklessHQ%E2%80%8B">https://twitter.com/BanklessHQ​</a></p> <p>Follow Ryan on Twitter<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/ryansadams%E2%80%8B">https:

He advocates for the U.S. crypto industry in Washington, paving the way for current and future regulation of cryptoassets.</p> <p>USDC and other stablecoins saw a massive influx throughout 2020 into Ethereum and DeFi as demand skyrocketed, providing a glimpse of possible long-term impacts on the future of money. Jeremy argues for a full-reserve money system based on Austrian Economics, moving away from the money creation inherent to today's fractional-reserve systems.</p> <p>Jeremy details the synergy between fiat stablecoins and non-sovereign, store-of-value, commodity assets. He envisions a future of synthetic digital currencies balanced by a basket of non-sovereign assets.<br /> This is a vital time for instituting effective regulatory measures for cryptoassets and protocols, and as a front-line advocate, Jeremy stresses the importance of the crypto industry itself taking the initiative to front-run regulatory issues via creative innovation.</p> <p>Jeremy self-describes as "cautiously optimistic" about establishing meaningful dialogue with regulators like Gary Gensler, Janet Yellen, and FinCen, focusing on specific issues like criminal abuse, self-sovereign identity, and consumer protection.</p> <p>Jeremy concludes with broad market predictions and analysis of DeFi as a massively underrated space, with the long-term goal of DeFi interacting broadly with real-world identities.</p> <p>This was an extremely interesting conversation that shed some much-needed light on stablecoins in a regulatory context, and Jeremy remains a key component throughout this development.</p> <p>------<br /> Resources:<br /> Jeremy Allaire on Twitter<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/jerallaire">https://twitter.com/jerallaire</a><br /> Circle<br /> <a href="https://www.circle.com/">https://www.circle.com/</a><br /> USDC<br /> <a href= "https://www.circle.com/en/usdc">https://www.circle.com/en/usdc</a><br /> Centre Consortium<br /> <a href="https://www.centre.io/">https://www.centre.io/</a></p> <p>------<br /> Don't stop at the video!<br /> Subscribe to the Bankless newsletter program<br /> <a href= "http://bankless.substack.com/">http://bankless.substack.com/</a><br /> Visit the official Bankless website<br /> <a href="http://banklesshq.com/">http://banklesshq.com/</a><br /> Follow Bankless on Twitter<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/BanklessHQ">https://twitter.com/BanklessHQ</a><br /> Follow Ryan on Twitter<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/ryansadams">https://twitter.com/ryansadams</a><br /> Follow David on Twitter<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/TrustlessState">https://twitter.com/TrustlessState</a></p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

Maki takes us through the structures of the Sushi Ecosystem and discusses the role of Chef Nomi on the trajectory of the exchange in its turbulent beginnings.</p> <p>Maki argues for a flexible, bottom-up, and community-based approach, with an emphasis on integration with other protocols like Yearn Finance, Polkadot, and Cream. We discuss Sushi’s remarkable comeback from its early struggles in 2020, and how its current volume of over $100mm daily is a result of the efforts of its diehard community.</p> <p>Maki differentiates the SushiSwap Protocol from that of its sibling Uniswap, as well as the asset $SUSHI from the asset $UNI. Maki contends that Sushi’s fast-moving UI development and integration with external partners set SushiSwap apart from other DEXes.</p> <p>Maki is optimistic about the adoption of Layer 2 Scaling Solutions throughout DeFi in 2021 and lays out some of SushiSwap’s ambitious plans for the future, including optimizing gas fees and user experience.</p> <p>Lastly, Maki discusses the future of DeFi, arguing for compatibility and coexistence among decentralized protocols.</p> <p><br /> ------<br /> Relevant Links:</p> <p>BentoBox<br /> https://boringcrypto.medium.com/bentobox-to-launch-and-beyond-d2d5dc2350bd</p> <p>SushiSwap Exchange<br /> https://sushiswap.fi/</p> <p>SushiSwap’s Roadmap for 2021<br /> https://sushiswapchef.medium.com/2021-3e1f45cf86a2</p> <p>SushiSwap Forum<br /> https://forum.sushiswapclassic.org/</p> <p><br /> ------<br /> Don't stop at the video!</p> <p>Subscribe to the Bankless newsletter program<br /> http://bankless.substack.com/</p> <p>Visit the official Bankless website<br /> http://banklesshq.com/</p> <p>Follow Bankless on Twitter<br /> https://twitter.com/BanklessHQ</p> <p>Follow Ryan on Twitter<br /> https://twitter.com/ryansadams</p> <p>Follow David on Twitter<br /> https://twitter.com/TrustlessState</p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

Multi-party computation, fully-homomorphic encryption, SNARKs, verifiable-delay functions, these are all cryptographic tools that are yet-to-be harnessed by the Ethereum blockchain.</p> <p>Importantly, all of these new modern cryptographic tools are developed well beyond theoretical concepts; all that is left is for talented developers to put rubber to pavement.</p> <p>Justin walks the listeners through the user story of a user making a transaction on Uniswap, and discusses how cryptographic tricks can make the entire user process more secure and more trustless.</p> <p>We finish with a discussion about the long term fate of the Bitcoin blockchain, and its collision course with quanton computing, which threatens to break some of the crucial features that makes Bitcoin, Bitcoin. Justin provides a roadmap for the decoupling of BTC the asset from Bitcoin the blockchain, using a cryptographic two-way bridge between Bitcoin and an alternative new host blockchain, presumably Ethereum, and how BTC can upload itself to a new blockchain, and be rid of the baggage and liability of the Bitcoin blockchain 🤯</p> <p>This is truly one of the most unique pieces of content we’ve produced on the Bankless program, and Justin deserves so much credit for leading this operation!</p> <p>Resources:</p> <p>Justin’s Uniswap Cryptographic Mechanism Solution spreadsheet and their theoretical application to any Ethereum app.<br /> https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dyhNWMB6rVdmV3Xz-LlZlTt0f4tXfIW0YaoZVvenORs/edit?usp=sharing</p> <p>Below are the two papers Justin mentioned on long-term Bitcoin (in)security:</p> <p>"On the Instability of Bitcoin Without the Block Reward" by Princeton researchers.<br /> https://www.cs.princeton.edu/~arvindn/publications/mining_CCS.pdf</p> <p>There are two informal explainers:<br /> https://freedom-to-tinker.com/2016/10/21/bitcoin-is-unstable-without-the-block-reward/<br /> https://medium.com/@bergealex4/bitcoin-is-unstable-without-the-block-size-size-limit-70db07070a54</p> <p>"On the insecurity of quantum Bitcoin mining"<br /> https://arxiv.org/pdf/1804.08118.pdf</p> <p>------<br /> Don't stop at the video!</p> <p>Subscribe to the Bankless newsletter program<br /> http://bankless.substack.com/</p> <p>Visit the official Bankless website<br /> http://banklesshq.com/</p> <p>Follow Bankless on Twitter<br /> https://twitter.com/BanklessHQ</p> <p>Follow Ryan on Twitter<br /> https://twitter.com/ryansadams</p> <p>Follow David on Twitter<br /> https://twitter.com/TrustlessState</p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

Global macro events have such a strong interplay with crypto. In order to understand crypto, we need to understand the big picture</p> <p>We ask Lyn about the changes forces around the US Dollar, as demand and supply of the Dollar is less understood and less stable than ever before.</p> <p>We also ask Lyn about the relationship between the position of the U.S. Dollar as the world reserve currency, and the social unrest found inside the U.S. borders. It turns out, that the U.S. Dollar as the world reserve currency is not the best situation for those that reside inside the country!</p> <p>We bring up Ray Dalio's Long Term Debt Cycles mental model, and ask Lyn to connect it to the Fourth Turning Theory, in an attempt to discover some of the hidden forces behind the social unrest found in America.</p> <p>Fourth Turning Theory:<br /> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strauss%E2%80%93Howe_generational_theory</p> <p>Highly recommended Lyn Alden piece on the Future of the Dollar<br /> https://www.lynalden.com/fraying-petrodollar-system/</p> <p>Sign up for Lyn’s monthly macro newsletter<br /> https://www.lynalden.com/january-2021-newsletter/</p> <p>------<br /> Don't stop at the video!</p> <p>Subscribe to the Bankless newsletter program<br /> http://bankless.substack.com/</p> <p>Visit the official Bankless website<br /> http://banklesshq.com/</p> <p>Follow Bankless on Twitter<br /> https://twitter.com/BanklessHQ</p> <p>Follow Ryan on Twitter<br /> https://twitter.com/ryansadams</p> <p>Follow David on Twitter<br /> https://twitter.com/TrustlessState</p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

You would set up a trade between two different assets like BTC and ETH. ShapeShift would give you a BTC address to receive BTC, and you would give ShapeShift an Ethereum address for them to return ETH to you. ShapeShift never required you to 'deposit' your money, and never held onto users' funds!</p> <p>It was a very popular product during the 2017 Bull Market, yet the company decided to implement KYC requirements, in a move to protect the company from legal liability.</p> <p>It looks like ShapeShift has found a way to remove those KYC requirements without legal risk, and that is by becoming a DEX aggregator!</p> <p>We discuss this pivot with Erik, as well as a few other topics as well:<br /> - Crypto regulations in 2021<br /> - "deplatforming"<br /> - The new crypto bull cycle.</p> <p>Tune in to this week's State of the Nation!<br /> ------<br /> Don't stop at the video!</p> <p>Subscribe to the Bankless newsletter program<br /> http://bankless.substack.com/</p> <p>Visit the official Bankless website<br /> http://banklesshq.com/</p> <p>Follow Bankless on Twitter<br /> https://twitter.com/BanklessHQ</p> <p>Follow Ryan on Twitter<br /> https://twitter.com/ryansadams</p> <p>Follow David on Twitter<br /> https://twitter.com/TrustlessState</p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.
