Deep conviction on DeFi, but he and his co-founder made bets on communities. He was contrarian yes...but contrarian right.<br /> <br /> Ask him his strategy and he'll simply tell you..."I look at memes all day." But there's hidden brilliance in that phase. Listen as he describes how he invests in the crypto native founders, how he buys culturally composable communities, how the best things start very small. </p> <p>His fund bought SNX when no on believed. They bought LINK when it was worth 18 cents. How? Why? What's he buying now?</p> <p>We end with some FIRE predictions on final market caps for this bull run.</p> <p>We cover:</p> <ul> <li>Are we in a bull market?</li> <li>The DeFi Bull Case</li> <li>Crypto Native Investing Fund</li> <li>Composable communities</li> <li>Contrarian bets in the bear market</li> <li>Where did the LINK marines come from?</li> <li>Populism is real in crypto</li> <li>REGULATORS are friends?</li> <li>Turning Communities into Protocols</li> <li>Farming Token Premium</li> <li>Things Vance is buying</li> <li>Price Predictions!!! 🔥</li> </ul> <p>Join us next Monday for a fresh episode!</p> <p>-----<br /> Resources discussed:</p> <ul> <li><a href= "https://www.coindesk.com/defi-studio-framework-labs-leaves-stealth-mode-with-8m-in-seed-funding"> DeFi Studio Framework Labs Leave Stealth</a></li> <li><a href= "https://bankless.substack.com/p/12-the-protocol-sink-thesis">Listen to Protocol Sink Thesis episode</a></li> </ul> <p>-----<br /> Episode Actions:</p> <ol> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Get involved in communities - <a href= "https://gov.yearn.finance/">YFI</a>, <a href= "https://forum.yam.finance/">YAMs</a>, <a href= "https://sips.synthetix.io/all-sip">SNX</a>, <a href= "https://bankless.substack.com/p/-guide-2-using-the-bankless-badge"> Bankless</a></span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Get active in the networks you invest in!

<p>Episode: #21<br /> July 13, 2020</p> <p>Ethereum turns 5 on July 30th! That's 5 years of history. Five years of progress. Time enough to change the world?</p> <p>We sit down with Vitalik Buterin and walk through Ethereum's past, present, and future. Has the vision changed? Has ETH earned its price? What about monetary policy? How's Vitalik feeling about the future?</p> <p>Is ETH a triple-point asset?</p> <p>It seems clear that Vitalik believes the Ethereum community is its strongest asset. This band of Athenians isn't just here to vanquish foes, it's here to build a digital civilization for the world. Not burn it down. Build it up. </p> <p>Vitalik believes crypto is standing strong as one of the few remaining things that's genuinely international.

<p>Episode: #19<br /> June 29, 2020</p> <p>Hasu is a free-thinker. A truth seeker. A rare voice in crypto. He's not afraid to push back on tribal dogma. He breaks rank with Bitcoiners on some topics and Ethereans on others. Yet he still considers himself a member of both tribes and respects the mysticism (and even dogma) of these deeply social systems.</p> <p>In the spirit of Satoshi he's pseudonymous. We don't know his actual identity.

<p>Episode: #12<br /> May 18, 2020</p> <p>When someone gives you money how confident are you that it's really yours? That's a settlement guarantee. It operates at the base layer of our societal tech stack and usually requires law and nation-states to enforce. With crypto we have something new, we have settlement assurances. That changes everything.</p> <p>Protocols with higher settlement assurances are more dense. They sink to the bottom of our societal tech stack and become the foundation for everything else. This is the protocol sink thesis, that DeFi protocols with the highest settlement assurance will become the base layer..the base layer for crypto banks, commercial banks, and even nation-state banks.</p> <p>When enough value is locked and enough time has passed, the money protocols win. That's what the thesis predicts!</p> <p>Dive into the protocol sink thesis w/ Ryan & David!</p> <p><span class="s1">We cover:</span></p> <ul> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Settlement guarantees through time</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Legal system settlement & traditional finance</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Why protocol settlement changes everything</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Protocol Sink Thesis ("How DeFi Wins")</span> <ul> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Why Trusted things get built on</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">How DeFi protocols sink</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Time Value Locked as the meter stick</span></li> </ul> </li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">How to test the thesis</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">The transition to long-term thinking</span></li> </ul> <div>Understanding this thesis will help you become a better crypto investor.<br /> <br /></div> <div><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span class="s1">Before the episode begins we also talk about:</span></span></div> <ul> <li><span style= "font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;"> ETH FUTURES!</span></li> <li><span style= "font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;"> Grammy-award winner RAC issues on Ethereum</span></li> </ul> <p>-----</p> <p>Tools from our sponsors to go bankless:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.jdoqocy.com/click-9261763-13920047">Rocket Dollar</a> - tax shelter your crypto ($50 w/ "<a href= "https://www.jdoqocy.com/click-9261763-13920047">BANKLESS</a>")</li> <li><a href="https://monolith.xyz/">Monolith</a> - holy grail of bankless Visa cards</li> <li><a href="https://aave.com/">Aave</a> - money lego for lending & borrowing</li> <li><a href="https://trade.dydx.exchange/r/bankless">DYDX</a> - <span style="font-weight: 400;">trade, margin, BTC perpetuals</span> (10% off with <a href= "https://trade.dydx.exchange/r/bankless">this link</a>)<br /> <em>(<span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href= "http://trade.dydx.exchange/r/bankless">trade.dydx.exchange/r/bankless)</a></span></em></li> </ul> <p>-----<br /> Resources discussed:</p> <ul> <li>(Article) <a href= "https://medium.com/@nic__carter/its-the-settlement-assurances-stupid-5dcd1c3f4e41"> It's the Settlement Assurances Stupid</a></li> <li>(Article) <a href= "https://bankless.substack.com/p/crypto-fiat-mutualistic-or-parasitic"> Crypto-fiat: mutualistic or parasitic?</a></li> <li>(Article) <a href= "https://bankless.substack.com/p/the-great-protocol-sink-market-monday"> Great protocol sink</a></li> <li>(How-to) <a href= "https://bankless.substack.com/p/how-to-buy-tape-on-zora">How to buy $TAPE token</a></li> <li>(VIDEO) <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3ufil39z5o">David's Settlement Assurances talk</a></li> </ul> <p>-----<br /> Episode Actions:&

Compound is a two-sized money robot that provides borrowing and lending to create something new: interest. Learn what it does, why it's powerful, and how it's evolving as we talk with Robert Leshner.
