<p>“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.</p> <p>The SEC is going after Kraken, Coinbase, Uniswap and Metamask. They’re trying to turn every non-custodial wallet into a broker-dealer.</p> <p>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 </p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>------<br /> 📣 TRANSPORTER - SECURED BY CHAINLINK CCIP | TRY IT OUT<br /> <strong id= "docs-internal-guid-4adeb5a8-7fff-4cea-e6c7-b725c661b452"><a href= "http://transporter.io">transporter.io</a></strong></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>🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Mantle">https://bankless.cc/Mantle</a> </p> <p>🌐 CARTESI | APPLY FOR A GRANT<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/CartesiGovernance">https://bankless.cc/CartesiGovernance</a> </p> <p>🔗CELO | CEL2 COMING SOON<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Celo">https://bankless.cc/Celo</a> </p> <p>🏠 CASA | SECURE YOUR GENERATIONAL WEALTH<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Casa">https://bankless.cc/Casa</a> </p> <p>🗣️TOKU | CRYPTO EMPLOYMENT SOLUTION<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/toku">https://bankless.cc/toku</a> </p> <p>🏙️ CONSENSUS | SAVE 20% WITH CODE BANKLESS<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/4aykesD">https://bankless.cc/4aykesD</a> </p> <p>------<br /> TIMESTAMPS</p> <p>0:00 Intro<br /> 6:35 SEC vs. Ethereum <br /> 9:45 The Uniqueness of This Case<br /> 11:15 88,000 Pages to the SEC<br /> 12:11 SEC Going After Devs? <br /> 14:47 The Wells Notice<br /> 16:27 ETH ETF<br /> 17:58 Outcome of Consensys Winning <br /> 21:29 U.S. Law Process & Timeline<br /> 25:55 Ether Isn’t a Security<br /> 34:50 Gary’s Confidence Conspiracy <br /> 41:17 MetaMask Isn’t a Broker Dealer<br /> 47:10 What is Prometheum? <br /> 51:10 How Can the SEC Win?

<p>Erik Torenburg and Haseeb Quereshi join us for today's debate.</p> <p><br /> 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. </p> <p><br /> 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.</p> <p><br /> 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.</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> <br /> ------<br /> 🔐 SAFE | USE SAFE, GET REWARDED.

<p>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. </p> <p>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.</p> <p>------<br /> 📣 PERMISSIONLESS III | BUY TICKETS NOW <br /> Bankless Citizens get 30% off:<br /> <a href= "https://www.bankless.com/tools/perks">https://www.bankless.com/tools/perks</a> </p> <p>Use BANKLESS10 for 10% off:<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/PermissionlessIII">https://bankless.cc/PermissionlessIII</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>🔗CELO | CEL2 COMING SOON<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Celo">https://bankless.cc/Celo</a> </p> <p>🔐 SAFE | ATTEND SAFE{CON}<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/SafeCon">https://bankless.cc/SafeCon</a> </p> <p>⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM<br /> ⁠<a href= "https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum">https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum</a> </p> <p>🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Mantle">https://bankless.cc/Mantle</a> </p> <p>🗣️TOKU | CRYPTO EMPLOYMENT SOLUTION<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/toku">https://bankless.cc/toku</a> </p> <p>------<br /> TIMESTAMPS</p> <p>0:00 Intro<br /> 5:00 The Guy Who Changed Bitcoin<br /> 10:21 Why Casey’s Building<br /> 16:45 Ordinals Cultural Shift<br /> 22:43 Runes<br /> 31:40 The Ord Standard <br /> 45:27 Bitcoin Blocks & Blockspace Limit<br /> 57:47 Bitcoin Innovation Implications <br /> 1:02:41 Rune Parameters<br /> 1:11:20 The First Runes (Uncommon Goods) <br /> 1:14:34 Timeline on Runes & Trading Ecosystem<br /> 1:17:12 The Future of Runes/Ordinals<br /> 1:19:48 The Bitcoin Renaissance <br /> 1:21:34 Winning Over Bitcoin Maximalists<br /> 1:23:45 Casey’s Podcast <br /> 1:24:58 Runes Team<br /> 1:26:37 Closing & Disclaimers <br /> <br /> ------<br /> RESOURCES</p> <p>Casey’s 1st Bankless Episode <br /> <a href= "https://youtu.be/ktL77zEWcEc">https://youtu.be/ktL77zEWcEc</a> </p> <p>Casey’s Twitter<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/rodarmor">https://twitter.com/rodarmor</a> </p> <p>Casey’s Hellmoney Podcast <br /> <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCflejnUswWof6yEMk9dRzOA">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCflejnUswWof6yEMk9dRzOA</a> </p> <p>------<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

<p>Welcome Bankless Nation, to the Summer of Protocols!|</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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. </p> <p>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. </p> <p>------<br /> 🎧 Listen On Your Favorite Podcast Player: <br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Podcast">https://bankless.cc/Podcast</a> </p> <p>------<br /> TIMESTAMPS & RESOURCES</p> <p>0:00 Summer of Protocols Explained<br /> 12:05 Sarah Friend<br /> <a href= "https://summerofprotocols.com/research/good-death">https://summerofprotocols.com/research/good-death</a> <br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/isthisanart">https://twitter.com/isthisanart</a> <br /> 37:16 Timber Schroff<br /> <a href= "https://summerofprotocols.com/research/module-three/safe-new-world"> https://summerofprotocols.com/research/module-three/safe-new-world</a> <br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/tmbr_ss">https://twitter.com/tmbr_ss</a> <br /> 1:01:52 Nahee Kim<br /> <a href= "https://summerofprotocols.com/research/re-move">https://summerofprotocols.com/research/re-move</a> <br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/AppNahee">https://twitter.com/AppNahee</a> <br /> 1:18:44 Summer of Protocols Future<br /> <a href= "https://forum.summerofprotocols.com/t/blockchain-protocol-problems-braindump/223"> https://forum.summerofprotocols.com/t/blockchain-protocol-problems-braindump/223</a> <br /> <a href= "https://summerofprotocols.com/research/sop2024">https://summerofprotocols.com/research/sop2024</a> <br /> 1:28:59 Closing </p> <p>------<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

<p>Chris Perkins has a fascinating background as a marine who was shot at in Iraq, was at Lehman bros when it all came crashing down, was a Citigroup trying to pick up the piece of the financial crisis where he first ran across Gary Gensler, and now he’s in crypto. We talk about all that, but that’s not even the main event.</p> <p>The Main Event is Ether the asset and a new reference rate he’s building on top of it.
