| ROLLUP: Strategic Bitcoin Reserve | White House Digital Summit | Saylor's $21B BTC Bid | HyperLiquid | 14 Mar 2025 | ||
This week, the U.S. establishes its long-awaited Strategic Bitcoin Reserve yet the charts barely move and questions remain about altcoins like ADA, XRP, and SOL. A high-profile White House Digital Summit draws big names but yields few concrete regulatory wins. Meanwhile, HyperLiquid got exploited? Not quite but we'll get into that this week and so much more.

Episode: #27 ----- Tools from our sponsors to go bankless:
---- Haseeb Qureshi likes the question: what did I miss? That's how he improves his mental model for investing in crypto. That's how he sharpens his mind. That's how this former Airbnb developer and professional poker play became a notable investor at DragonFly Capital. And that's where we start the conversation. It leads us into a discussion on Uniswap and automated market makers, and why he thinks Uniswap will be unbundled. Which leads into Ethereum scaling, DeFi in Eth2, and an articulation of the clearest analogy for DeFi scalability in Etheruem that we've ever heard.

| 25 - YFI: Farming the Farmers | Andre Cronje | 10 Aug 2020 | 01:39:23 | |
Episode: #25 ----- Tools from our sponsors to go bankless:
---- Andre Cronje calls himself just another DeFi dev, but you can't help but wonder, is he's underselling himself with that title? In a few short months he single-handedly created a fleet of DeFi yield farming money robots that locked up over $400m in assets in his yearn protocol. He launched a YFI token that grew in value by over 1,000% in its first week, one of the most explosive price charts crypto has ever seen. No pre-mine, no VC, no founders reward. Maybe a better title is King of the Yield Farmers. DeFi's Satoshi. Who is this guy? What did he build and why is it brilliant? Why did YFI go from $3 on July 17th to $5000 on August 8th? This is everything you need to know about yearn, YFI, and Andre. We cover:

---- Erik's been journeying into the bankless frontier since 2011. That's when he first discovered bitcoin. The open road. The unsettled whitespace. The westward trail. The highway to freedom. That's why he's here. And he's remained true to his values. That's why he speaks out against tyranny. That's why he embraces self-sovereign money and pokes holes in the myths of fiat. That's why he so ardently rejects maximalism. Enjoy our conversation with one of cryptos original settlers. We cover:

| 22 - The People’s Narrative | Ben Hunt | 20 Jul 2020 | 01:46:54 | |
Episode: #22 ----- Tools from our sponsors to go bankless:
---- You need to understand the mental models of Ben Hunt to understand what's really going on in crypto. You need his models of epsilon, game theory, narrative, and common knowledge to truly understand markets. They don't teach you this on Wall Street. Or in business school. But for the Bankless Nation? This knowledge is required for our survival on the journey. Dr. Ben Hunt is a masterful game theorist and narrative analyzer. His work at Epsilon Theory, his outlook on the world, we've rarely felt so much alignment with someone outside the crypto community. And what does Ben thing about crypto anyway? Is it an opportunity to diminish the nudging oligarchy that runs our world? What advice does he have for us? Is there a chance this bankless thing might work? Enjoy our incredible conversation with Ben. We cover:

| 21 - Ethereum: Past, Present, Future | Vitalik Buterin | 13 Jul 2020 | 01:44:18 | |
Episode: #21 Ethereum turns 5 on July 30th! That's 5 years of history. Five years of progress. Time enough to change the world? 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? Is ETH a triple-point asset? 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. Vitalik believes crypto is standing strong as one of the few remaining things that's genuinely international. And as we witness the balkanization of the digital world, the open door to cooperation that Ethereum provides is exactly what humanity needs in order to thrive in the 21st century. Happy 5th Birthday Ethereum! The world needs you now more than ever. We cover:

| 19 - DeFi vs Banks | Hasu | 28 Jun 2020 | 01:26:52 | |
Episode: #19 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. In the spirit of Satoshi he's pseudonymous. We don't know his actual identity. But we know who he is from his body of writing that has influenced our thinking on many crypto topics. What does he think about Ethereum? About crypto banks? About DeFi? We covered it all:

| 12 - The Protocol Sink Thesis | 18 May 2020 | 01:19:03 | |
Episode: #12 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. 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. When enough value is locked and enough time has passed, the money protocols win. That's what the thesis predicts! Dive into the protocol sink thesis w/ Ryan & David! We cover:

| ROLLUP: Trump’s DeFi Project | CFTC vs. Uniswap | Brazil Bans Twitter | Coinbase AI | Polymarket & Bloomberg | 06 Sep 2024 | 00:59:32 | |
This week in crypto, Trump’s new DeFi project sparked debate—is it legit or a grift? After the SEC, the CFTC targeted Uniswap—what’s going on with regulators? Brazil’s Twitter ban also made waves—what does it mean for free speech and crypto’s role in resisting censorship? Markets are asking if the 4-year cycle is dead, and Ryan has three takes on the lackluster crypto prices and what it could mean moving forward.
