<p>SOL/ETH is up 300% YoY and ETH/BTC is down 50% over the last 2 years. Why is that? Why is ETH underperforming so bad?</p> <p>Kyle Samani is the Managing Partner & Co-Founder at Multicoin Capital. Kyle and Multicoin have been one of the largest investors and proponents of Solana. They have been spearheading the ‘integrated blockchain’ investment theses even before the success of Solana redefined that corner of crypto.</p> <p>This episode is not intended to be a debate like the Anatoly vs Justin Drake one. Ryan and David are mostly going to sit back and hear Kyle’s perspective and reasoning as to why ETH has been down so bad in this crypto cycle.

<p>Today we're talking EVM, specifically how Mega ETH and Monad are planning to make Ethereum SUPER fast.</p> <p>We answer:<br /> 1 - Which is faster, more decentralized, and more censorship-resistant?<br /> 2 - How did Monad and MegaETH build large communities before even launching a testnet, let alone a mainnet?<br /> 3 - What are their thoughts on criticism that building with the EVM is like building on quicksand?

<p>Nate Silver is a statistician, writer, and political analyst, widely recognized for his accurate predictions of U.S. presidential elections. He's now released an exceptional new book titled, "On the Edge: The Art of Risking Everything."

Power has tilted away from the people and into the hands of a central banking cabal.

<p>Bankless Nation, the question today is: Is the U.S. flipping pro-crypto?</p> <p><br /> The United States has either been anti-crypto or neutral since the birth of Bitcoin. That’s starting to change. For the first time, we actually have momentum in D.C. There will be many battles ahead, but right now, crypto is making progress.</p> <p><br /> What would a pro-crypto America look like? What laws do we need to pass to get there? Who do we still need to convince, and how close are we?</p> <p><br /> ------<br /> 📣SPOTIFY PREMIUM RSS FEED | USE CODE: SPOTIFY24 <br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/spotify-premium">https://bankless.cc/spotify-premium</a> </p> <p><br /> ------<br /> BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS:</p> <p><br /> 🐙 KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE<br /> <a href= "https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2">https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2</a> ⁠ </p> <p><br /> 🛞 MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Mantle">https://bankless.cc/Mantle</a> </p> <p><br /> 🦄 UNISWAP | BROWSER EXTENSION<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/uniswap">https://bankless.cc/uniswap</a> </p> <p><br /> ⚡️ FUEL | EARN FUEL POINTS<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/fuel">https://bankless.cc/fuel</a> <br /> <br /> ⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM<br /> <a href= "https://%E2%81%A0https//bankless.cc/Arbitrum">⁠https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum </a></p> <p><br /> 🗣️ TOKU | CRYPTO EMPLOYMENT SOLUTION<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/toku">https://bankless.cc/toku</a> </p> <p>------<br /> ✨ Mint the episode on Zora ✨<br /> <a href= "https://zora.co/collect/zora:0x0c294913a7596b427add7dcbd6d7bbfc7338d53f/33?referrer=0x077Fe9e96Aa9b20Bd36F1C6290f54F8717C5674E"> https://zora.co/collect/zora:0x0c294913a7596b427add7dcbd6d7bbfc7338d53f/33?referrer=0x077Fe9e96Aa9b20Bd36F1C6290f54F8717C5674E</a></p> <p><br /> ------<br /> TIMESTAMPS</p> <p><br /> 00:00 Intro<br /> 06:01 Trump's Assasination Attempt<br /> 09:28 Thought On VP Nominee JD Vance<br /> 12:59 Why is Crypto Important to You?<br /> 16:11 Legislation<br /> 20:36 Why Didn't Democrats Pivot?<br /> 23:32 SAB-121 Status Update<br /> 29:03 The Next Generation of Products<br /> 34:22 Gensler's SEC<br /> 36:52 Election Impact on Crypto</p> <p><br /> ------<br /> RESOURCES</p> <p><br /> Rep French Hill</p> <p><a href= "https://x.com/repfrenchhill">https://x.com/repfrenchhill</a> </p> <p><br /> ------<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

It was bought by Martin Shkreli in 2015, who later lost it due to a fraud conviction. In 2021, PleasrDAO, a crypto collective, purchased the album to restore its value and make it accessible to the public, promoting fairer digital ownership in the Web3 era.</p> <p>Hear how you can own the most exclusive music album and help support the movement. <br /> <br /></p> <p>------<br /> ✨ Mint the episode on Zora ✨<br /> <a href= "https://zora.co/collect/zora:0x0c294913a7596b427add7dcbd6d7bbfc7338d53f/22"> https://zora.co/collect/zora:0x0c294913a7596b427add7dcbd6d7bbfc7338d53f/22</a> </p> <p>------<br /> BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS:</p> <p>🐙KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE<br /> <a href= "https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2">https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2</a> ⁠ </p> <p>⚡️ CARTESI | LINUX-POWERED ROLLUPS<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/CartesiGovernance">https://bankless.cc/CartesiGovernance</a> <br /> <br /> ⚖️ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM<br /> ⁠https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum </p> <p>🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Mantle">https://bankless.cc/Mantle</a> </p> <p>🌐 TRANSPORTER | CROSS CHAINS WITH CONFIDENCE<br /> <a href= "https://transporter.io/">https://transporter.io/</a> </p> <p>🔗CELO | CEL2 COMING SOON<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Celo">https://bankless.cc/Celo</a> </p> <p>------<br /> TIMESTAMPS</p> <p>0:00 Intro<br /> 9:09 What’s Special About This Album?<br /> 11:13 One-Off Event Or New Path For Artists?<br /> 14:24 Music Scenario: 2014 vs. Now?<br /> 17:41 Music Renting VS Collecting/Ownership <br /> 22:25 How To Own The Album?<br /> 26:47 Rights & Collaboration <br /> 28:07 Rethinking Music Distribution <br /> 31:02 Magnitude Of Album Release<br /> 32:47 Why Crypto People Should Care?<br /> 34:56 David On The Album Songs<br /> 38:05 Where To Own The Album?<br /> 40:16 Sales & Record-Breaking Week<br /> 43:48 Closing & Disclosures</p> <p>------<br /> RESOURCES</p> <p>Mint Here<br /> <a href= "https://thealbum.com">https://thealbum.com</a> </p> <p>Leighton<br /> <a href= "https://x.com/lay2000lbs">https://x.com/lay2000lbs</a> </p> <p>------<br /> Not financial or tax advice.
