The End of the Petrodollar | Luke Gromen

“Energy is the base layer of money” - that’s how our guest Luke Gromen puts it in today’s episode.

Autonomous Worlds | Lattice’s Justin Glibert

In today’s episode, we’re exploring the frontier of onchain universes, on Ethereum. Autonomous Worlds is the new frontier of digital onchain universes, being pioneered by the Lattice team, of which Justin Glibert on the show today is the co-founder and CEO. Ethereum is not just a financial computer, but a root of state for an infinite number of universes, all with their own laws of physics, objects, players, agents, and state… and, like our universe, still continues with, or without, our presence. Justin walks us through the evolution of Autonomous Worlds.

Why ConsenSys is Suing the SEC | Joseph Lubin & Matt Corva

“The U.S. is trying to disconnect from Ethereum," that’s what Joe Lubin the CEO of Consensys said in today’s conversation. He was talking about those in power trying to unplug Ethereum from the citizens. The SEC is going after Kraken, Coinbase, Uniswap and Metamask. They’re trying to turn every non-custodial wallet into a broker-dealer. We brought on Joe Lubin, a crypto OG and CEO of Consensys the company behind a number of massive crypto projects including the popular Metamask wallet, and Matt Corva, the General Counsel at Consensys, leading the charge against the SEC Joe and Matt are producing evidence that the SEC is coming after Ethereum itself. Sending discovery requests to Ethereum core developers, threatening their employers - pushing a coordinated effort to claim Ether is a security so they can control it. So Consensys is taking them to court to settle the issue. If they’re successful it’ll be the first time we get a clear court ruling that Ether is a commodity and not a security. ------ 📣 TRANSPORTER - SECURED BY CHAINLINK CCIP | TRY IT OUT <a href= "http://transporter.io">transporter.io</a> ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🐙KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE <a href= "https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2">https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2</a> ⁠ 🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Mantle">https://bankless.cc/Mantle</a> 🌐 CARTESI | APPLY FOR A GRANT <a href= "https://bankless.cc/CartesiGovernance">https://bankless.cc/CartesiGovernance</a> 🔗CELO | CEL2 COMING SOON <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Celo">https://bankless.cc/Celo</a> 🏠 CASA | SECURE YOUR GENERATIONAL WEALTH <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Casa">https://bankless.cc/Casa</a> 🗣️TOKU | CRYPTO EMPLOYMENT SOLUTION <a href= "https://bankless.cc/toku">https://bankless.cc/toku</a> 🏙️ CONSENSUS | SAVE 20% WITH CODE BANKLESS <a href= "https://bankless.cc/4aykesD">https://bankless.cc/4aykesD</a> ------ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 6:35 SEC vs. Ethereum 9:45 The Uniqueness of This Case 11:15 88,000 Pages to the SEC 12:11 SEC Going After Devs? 14:47 The Wells Notice 16:27 ETH ETF 17:58 Outcome of Consensys Winning 21:29 U.S. Law Process & Timeline 25:55 Ether Isn’t a Security 34:50 Gary’s Confidence Conspiracy 41:17 MetaMask Isn’t a Broker Dealer 47:10 What is Prometheum? 51:10 How Can the SEC Win?

Don’t call it an Airdrop - This is a Stakedrop — because that’s the only thing you can do with your EIGEN tokens out of the gate. 15% of the total Supply of Eigen distributed over multiple Seasons, Season 1 starts today with 5% of the supply, and one of the most sophisticated set of smart contracts on Mainnet. EIGEN is not your typical ERC20 token. It’s got this feature called “Intersubjective Forking” that increases the scope of what Eigenlayer can provide security for. In addition to the token details getting released, we’re also getting the Eigen Foundation, with a new director Robert Drost - who joins Sreeram today to walk us through everything you need to know.

Tech Acceleration vs Deceleration: e/acc vs. d/acc debate | Erik Torenberg & Haseeb Qureshi

Erik Torenburg and Haseeb Quereshi join us for today's debate. Should we accelerate or decelerate our tech progress? How about when it comes to something as powerful as AI? This is not just a debate in tech circles - this is a political debate that poised to define the next decade. We’ve had leaders from both sides of the debate on the podcast - episodes with Elizer Yudkowski and Beff Jezos. You’ve heard what they think. Today’s episode is a discussion and at times a debate on these opinions to help you think through where you stand on this issue - Haseeb Quereshi tends toward the EA side which favors more caution and regulatory intervention around AI while Erik Torenburg tends toward the e/acc side of the issue which favors faster progress and lighter touch. ------ 📣SPOTIFY PREMIUM RSS FEED | USE CODE: SPOTIFY24 <a href= "https://bankless.cc/spotify-premium">https://bankless.cc/spotify-premium</a> ------ 🔐 SAFE | USE SAFE, GET REWARDED.

Runes: Tokens on Bitcoin | Casey Rodamor

Today’s episode is about exploring the frontier of tokens on Bitcoin with guest Casey Rodarmor. Casey is the creator of the Ordinals Protocol, a harmless protocol that simply allowed for arbitrary data to be inscribed into individual Bitcoin UTXOs, creating what are called Bitcoin NFTs. He is now also the creators of Runes, a second protocol, working to bring fungible tokens to Bitcoin. Bitcoin is changing and Casey appears to be one of main reasons for the change. Soon he’ll be unveiling a new protocol standard for Bitcoin - called Runes, which wants to be a bitcoin-native version of fungible tokens, on the Bitcoin L1 - which is going to be the topic of the show today. ------ 📣 PERMISSIONLESS III | BUY TICKETS NOW Bankless Citizens get 30% off: <a href= "https://www.bankless.com/tools/perks">https://www.bankless.com/tools/perks</a> Use BANKLESS10 for 10% off: <a href= "https://bankless.cc/PermissionlessIII">https://bankless.cc/PermissionlessIII</a> ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🐙KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE <a href= "https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2">https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2</a> ⁠ 🔗CELO | CEL2 COMING SOON <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Celo">https://bankless.cc/Celo</a> 🔐 SAFE | ATTEND SAFE{CON} <a href= "https://bankless.cc/SafeCon">https://bankless.cc/SafeCon</a> ⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM ⁠<a href= "https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum">https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum</a> 🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Mantle">https://bankless.cc/Mantle</a> 🗣️TOKU | CRYPTO EMPLOYMENT SOLUTION <a href= "https://bankless.cc/toku">https://bankless.cc/toku</a> ------ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 5:00 The Guy Who Changed Bitcoin 10:21 Why Casey’s Building 16:45 Ordinals Cultural Shift 22:43 Runes 31:40 The Ord Standard 45:27 Bitcoin Blocks & Blockspace Limit 57:47 Bitcoin Innovation Implications 1:02:41 Rune Parameters 1:11:20 The First Runes (Uncommon Goods) 1:14:34 Timeline on Runes & Trading Ecosystem 1:17:12 The Future of Runes/Ordinals 1:19:48 The Bitcoin Renaissance 1:21:34 Winning Over Bitcoin Maximalists 1:23:45 Casey’s Podcast 1:24:58 Runes Team 1:26:37 Closing & Disclaimers ------ RESOURCES Casey’s 1st Bankless Episode <a href= "https://youtu.be/ktL77zEWcEc">https://youtu.be/ktL77zEWcEc</a> Casey’s Twitter <a href= "https://twitter.com/rodarmor">https://twitter.com/rodarmor</a> Casey’s Hellmoney Podcast <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCflejnUswWof6yEMk9dRzOA">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCflejnUswWof6yEMk9dRzOA</a> ------ Not financial or tax advice.

The Summer of Protocols Episode

Welcome Bankless Nation, to the Summer of Protocols!| Summer of Protocols is an ongoing research and evangelism effort that aims to catalyze broad interest in the study of protocols as a first-class concept for thinking about the world. To explain a little more about what Summer of Protocols is all about, we brought Tim Beiko of the Ethereum Foundation and Venkat Rao of the Ribbonfarm blog on the podcast. Additionally, this episode contains three short interviews with three of the 35 total Summer of Protocols researchers. You’re going to experience something a little different here on the show today. Some more storytelling, a different kind of frontier exploration, but all around the idea of protocols. ------ 🎧 Listen On Your Favorite Podcast Player: <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Podcast">https://bankless.cc/Podcast</a> ------ TIMESTAMPS & RESOURCES 0:00 Summer of Protocols Explained 12:05 Sarah Friend <a href= "https://summerofprotocols.com/research/good-death">https://summerofprotocols.com/research/good-death</a> <a href= "https://twitter.com/isthisanart">https://twitter.com/isthisanart</a> 37:16 Timber Schroff <a href= "https://summerofprotocols.com/research/module-three/safe-new-world"> https://summerofprotocols.com/research/module-three/safe-new-world</a> <a href= "https://twitter.com/tmbr_ss">https://twitter.com/tmbr_ss</a> 1:01:52 Nahee Kim <a href= "https://summerofprotocols.com/research/re-move">https://summerofprotocols.com/research/re-move</a> <a href= "https://twitter.com/AppNahee">https://twitter.com/AppNahee</a> 1:18:44 Summer of Protocols Future <a href= "https://forum.summerofprotocols.com/t/blockchain-protocol-problems-braindump/223"> https://forum.summerofprotocols.com/t/blockchain-protocol-problems-braindump/223</a> <a href= "https://summerofprotocols.com/research/sop2024">https://summerofprotocols.com/research/sop2024</a> 1:28:59 Closing ------ Not financial or tax advice.
