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.
