✨ DEBRIEF ✨ | Ryan & David's Unfiltered Thoughts on the Episode: As the dust settles with Tornado Cash’s sanctioning news and the arrest of Alexey Pertsev, the space is drawing parallels to the early days of crypto, Crypto Wars 1.0. We brought on OG cypherpunk privacy developer and co-founder of Zcash, Zooko to talk about Crypto Wars 2.0. Crypto privacy is being tested in new ways and Zooko couldn’t be in a better place to explain the current complexities. What’s the case for crypto privacy? Why is it such a tough problem to solve? Why is Zooko optimistic about the future of crypto privacy? What are your thoughts on crypto privacy?

| 11 Jan 2022 | Udi Wertheimer | Layer Zero | 01:08:22 | |
Udi Wertheimer is a notorious persona on crypto twitter and is endlessly difficult to pin down. At the very least, Udi is an interesting and unique character, describing himself as a cynical optimist with a tendency to antagonize and troll. Udi is also insightful and pragmatic, constantly making connections and critiques of the space with a sharp eye and a relentless desire to call things out when he disagrees. He blurs a lot of lines, and you always have to be on your toes when Udi’s around. There’s value in having members in the community who never give the benefit of the doubt and act as a philosophical razor for the space. Udi is full of takes, and this conversation twists and turns through the entirety of crypto—trading, culture, communities, memes, the metaverse, and beyond. ------ ------ ------ ⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM 🍵 MATCHA | SMART ORDER ROUTING 🚀 SLINGSHOT | LAYER 2 SOCIAL TRADING 🏦 GEMINI | TURN FIAT INTO CRYPTO 🦁 BRAVE | THE BROWSER NATIVE WALLET 🦄 UNISWAP | DECENTRALIZED FUNDING ------ 0:00 Intro ------ Udi on Twitter: ----- Disclosure.

China’s decoupling from the Dollar. Are we on the brink of using the yuan as the new global currency, or will crypto take the spotlight? We’ve explored crypto’s role in disrupting the global monetary order before, but there’s another force that’s going to have just as much of an impact…some would say much more. China! What does it look like when the world’s 2nd largest economy dedollarizes? That’s what we explore on today’s episode with China expert and economist Diana Choyleva.

| 27 Nov 2023 | 198 - SUAVE Explained with Phil Daian & Andrew Miller | 01:32:55 | |
Phil Daian is a crypto-economic researcher! Phil is the lead author behind the landmark paper, “Flash Boys 2.0,” which introduced and defined the MEV problem in the Ethereum landscape, over 4 years ago. He is the cofounder of FlashBots, which is a research and dev organization with the mission of mitigating the negative externalities of MEV. Andrew Miller is an Associate Professor at the University of Illinois, SGX Bull, and visiting researcher at Flashbots, and big believer in cypherpunk values through crypto-economic mechanisms. ------ Have you ever heard of Flashbots? Flashbots is the silent protector of Ethereum, a shield against the forces of centralization that silently sneak into our cryptosystems and turn them into TradFi. It’s one of the unsung heroes of crypto. The guests we have on today are from Flashbots, Phil Daian, and Andrew Miller. They believe the biggest centralization threats in crypto still lie ahead. And they’ve got a new platform that’s being built to defend against them. It’s called “Suave”, and we’ve been hearing a lot about it recently - “Solving MEV” - “Decentralizing block building” - but going into this episode, we weren’t sure exactly what it was. We found out during this episode. ----- ------ 🐙KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE 🦊METAMASK PORTFOLIO | MANAGE YOUR WEB3 EVERYTHING ⚖️ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM 🔗CELO | CEL2 COMING SOON 👾GMX | V2 IS NOW LIVE 💲 USDV | NATIVE OMNICHAIN STABLECOIN ------ 0:00 Intro How to get Started Building on Suave Learn about MEV Learn about Blockchain Supply Chains Learn about Moloch ------ | |||

| 22 Jul 2024 | Why Banks Suck, The Great Taking & How To Prepare | Mel Mattison | 01:44:30 | |
Why do banks suck? Banks suck is the reason we started this bankless thing. Not that banks are all bad but they take too much and give to little. They need to be disrupted. We brought Mel Mattison, author of Quoz, and he’s very clear on what’s wrong with banks. They’ve become too centralized, unbalanced, short-sighted, corrupt. Power has tilted away from the people and into the hands of a central banking cabal. The relationship between sovereign governments and private banks has become an unholy alliance. ------ ------ 🐙KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE 🦄UNISWAP | BROWSER EXTENSION ⚡️ FUEL | EARN FUEL POINTS 🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK 🗣️TOKU | CRYPTO EMPLOYMENT ------ ------ 0:00 Intro ------ Mel Mattison Quoz The Great Taking ------ | |||

| 10 Apr 2023 | 166 - Leaving Web2 with Sriram Krishnan | 01:37:08 | |
Sriram Krishnan is a GP at a16z Crypto and a defector from Web2 to Web3. Formerly a Product Lead at Facebook, Twitter, and Snapchat, Sriram has seen basically everything there is to see in the world of Web2, and especially Web2 social. He also hosts a podcast with his wife covering tech and internet creators, so he knows a thing or two about the world of creators, internet social platforms, and crypto. ------ Growing up in a small town in India with little opportunity, Sriram used the internet to change the course of his life. Now he worries that these same opportunities won’t be available for the next generation. He believes Web3 is the only way to keep the internet full of opportunity for the next generations. In today’s episode, we cover why Sriram defected from Web2 to Web3, why Twitter can topple world governments but can’t sell ads effectively, why every social media network has to start with status, how crypto and AI intersect, and much more. ------ 0:00 Intro ------ Sriram & His Wife’s Podcast Sriram’s Twitter Eugene Wei’s Status-as-a-Service ----- Disclosure.

| 03 May 2021 | 63 - The Crypto Renaissance | Josh Rosenthal | 01:39:48 | |
Josh Rosenthal is a former historian and is now a partner at 6ixth Event Cataclysmic Capital. In today's episode, we take a wide lens and examine the similarities between the European Renaissance and what is happening in today's society with both the internet and blockchain technology. Will future historians call this the Crypto Renaissance? ------ 💰 GEMINI | FIAT & CRYPTO EXCHANGE 🔀 BALANCER | EXCHANGE & POOL ASSETS 👻 AAVE | LEND & BORROW ASSETS 🦄 UNISWAP | DECENTRALIZED FUNDING ------ Josh Rosenthal holds a Ph.D. in Late Medieval / Early Modern European History, and received a Fulbright Scholarship to the Sorbonne’s Institute for Advanced Studies, think tank mixing culture, history, and technology. Josh is no longer a practicing historian and is instead a partner at ‘6ixth Event Cataclysmic Capital’, which supports early-stage founders targeting cataclysmic impact. Here on Bankless, we do not necessarily view history as repetitive, but certainly as cyclical. If you're haven't already, check out Strauss & Howe's book 'The Fourth Turning' for a sober and salient account of what modern historiography is missing when it comes to interpreting societal ebbs and flows. Historical patterns are difficult to objectively pin down and create uniform laws that apply across the life cycle of a civilization. However, there are key concepts that are sticky and are often found in pivotal moments in history. In this episode with Josh, we explore the sticky concepts of value and information.What does it mean for society when there are massive infrastructural changes to these things? The progress of civilization, on a macro scale, inevitably boils down to how we view, understand, create, and distribute communication and commerce. The European Renaissance, beginning in the 15th Century, is a fascinating example of a society undergoing fundamental changes in its relationship with value and information. Two pieces of technology, the Printing Press and Double-Entry Bookkeeping, laid the foundation for a massive societal revolution that launched Europe into modernity. The late Middle Ages were increasingly hierarchical, in which value & information were held by an oligarchic feudal system. The Printing Press was a communication technology that decentralized access to information, such that Martin Luther was able to use it to spark the Protestant Reformation. Double-Entry Bookkeeping was an ancient practice rediscovered in Italy in around 1300, and this financial technology catapulted the Medici family into a flourishing age of art, culture, and redistribution. The pendulum of history, according to Josh, swings between aggregation and distribution. Are we experiencing a pendulum swing now? Is the Internet the Printing Press of the information age? Will Blockchain Technology be the revolutionary piece of fintech that Double-Entry Bookkeeping was? Are we at the start of the next Renaissance – a Crypto Renaissance? ------ Topics Covered: 0:00 Intro ------ 6ixth Event Josh on Twitter ----- Disclosure.

Phil Daian is a researcher and software engineer and is leading the charge into mapping MEV with the Flashbots Project. Georgios Konstantopoulos and Charlie Noyes are both partners at Paradigm. ------ 💰 GEMINI | FIAT & CRYPTO EXCHANGE 🔀 BALANCER | EXCHANGE & POOL ASSETS 👻 AAVE | LEND & BORROW ASSETS 🦄 UNISWAP | DECENTRALIZED FUNDING ------ Bankless Podcast #66: MEV Panel In this State of the Nation, we bring on big-brain experts behind projects like Paradigm and Flashbots to explain the complex but critical topic of MEV - commonly known as Miner Extractable Value, but as discussed in this episode, Maximum Extractable Value is a more appropriate descriptor. MEV is arguably the single most important unsolved problem in the crypto space. In the context of incentives and network security, MEV generally refers to the ability of miners & validators to take advantage of their position as securers of the network. Blocks are verified by single entities, and these block producers have tremendous power when they are the ones adding a particular block to the blockchain. We refer to this instance as ‘God-Mode,’ in which a node has the power to assemble & order transactions at will. The threat here is the potential gaps between what is best for the network and what is best for the node. As an internal and unbounded threat to blockchains, solving the problems that MEV presents is critical to maintaining proper consensus and ensuring decentralization and permissionless access. We take a deep dive into potential solutions, and the impact of EIP-1559 and Proof-of-Stake on MEV. Dive in to learn why despite the challenges ahead, Charlie says: “In the absence of certainty, I’m willing to take the optimistic perspective.” ------ Phil on Twitter ----- Disclosure.

Donald Trump’s newly announced 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico (and 10% on China) have rattled global markets and sparked fresh uncertainty around the U.S. dollar. According to Bitwise’s Jeff Park—whose article “Tariffs, Triffin, and Trump: How the End Game Sends Bitcoin Vertical” has gone viral—this policy shift is fueling one of the biggest crypto-macro convergences since COVID. In this episode, we explore how these cascading forces could radically suppress Treasury yields, devalue the dollar, and propel Bitcoin into unprecedented territory. 🪙FRAX | SELF SUFFICIENT DeFi 🦄UNISWAP | BUG BOUNTY PROGRAM ⚖️ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM 🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK 🌐CELO | BUILD TOGETHER AND PROSPER 🏦ONDO | INSTITUTIONAL GRADE FINANCE ------ 0:00 Intro ------ Jeff Park Jeff Park’s Thread ------ | |||

In this episode, David Hoffman is joined by Matthew Sigel, Head of Digital Assets Research at VanEck, to unpack VanEck's groundbreaking ETH 2030 report. They discuss the $154,000 bull case, $22,000 base case, and $340 bear case for Ethereum, and the factors behind these predictions. Matthew dives deep into the role of ETH ETFs and shares insights into ETH's evolving narrative in institutional portfolios. He also provides interesting analogies and comparisons between ETH and Web 2.0, explaining how VanEck will help traditional investors understand and invest in ETH using these narratives and real market data. ------ ------ ------ 🐙KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE 🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK ⚡️CARTESI | LINUX-POWERED ROLLUPS 🌐 TRANSPORTER | CROSS CHAINS WITH CONFIDENCE 🔗CELO | CEL2 COMING SOON ------ 0:00 Intro ------ Matthew Sigel VanEck ------ | |||
