Senator Pat Toomey's Concerns about the SEC & Crypto

We brought on our first United States senator, Sen. Toomey. He's a senator from Pennsylvania, a ranking member of the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs committees. He's also crypto-friendly. Hear how Capitol Hill is digesting the FTX collapse, what America's crypto competition looks like currently, and what it might look like if we still have no regulatory clarity. And finally, what you can do to impact our government's view on crypto. ------ ------ ️ ⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM 👯 DESO | DECENTRALIZED SOCIAL BLOCKCHAIN 🦁 BRAVE | THE BROWSER NATIVE WALLET 📡 TRUEFI | CRYPTO FINANCIAL HUB 👾 SEQUENCE | ALL-IN-ONE PLATFORM ⚡️FUEL | THE MODULAR EXECUTION LAYER ----- 0:00 The Big Picture ----- Sen.

144 - Web3 Is Going Great!! with Molly White
01:22:24
✨ DEBRIEF | Unpacking the Episode: After many episodes, we finally brought on a crypto skeptic, Molly White! We brought Molly on to take us out of our crypto bubble, to challenge our assumptions, and to steelman the anti-crypto argument. Molly White is an engineer, public goods contributor, and an extremely articulate crypto critic. She also runs the web3 skeptic website: https://web3isgoinggreat.com/ In today’s episode, Molly gives us her central claim on why web3 isn’t actually going so great, why she thinks tokens make everything worse, and why—despite acknowledging some of the good—Molly believes crypto is a net negative to the world…and probably will be in the near future. P.S. Keep in mind, this episode was recorded on October 7, 2022 — way before any of the FTX meltdown occurred this past week. ------ ------ ------ ⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM ❎ ACROSS | BRIDGE TO LAYER 2 🦁 BRAVE | THE BROWSER NATIVE WALLET 🔐 LEDGER | NANO HARDWARE WALLETS ⚡️FUEL | THE MODULAR EXECUTION LAYER ----- 0:00 Intro ------ Molly White web3 is going just great ----- Disclosure.

We also turn to crypto, where Noah gives his bull case while also addressing some misconceptions he sees in the crypto community. The sum of all of this is an episode title we thought we'd never see on Bankless—The Future is Fiat. ------ ------ ⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM ❎ ACROSS | BRIDGE TO LAYER 2 🦁 BRAVE | THE BROWSER NATIVE WALLET 💠 TRUEFI | CRYPTO FINANCIAL HUB 🔐 SEQUENCE | ALL-IN-ONE PLATFORM ⚡️FUEL | THE MODULAR EXECUTION LAYER ------ 0:00 Intro ------ Noah Smith Noahpinion Freedom's Forge NOAH'S WRITING: ----- Disclosure.

Before coming to the U.S., Jiajung Zeng lived in China and worked as a Product Manager for TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance. Jiajung worked specifically on the content moderation team that was heavily censored by the Chinese government. Jiajung tells the story of how content moderation actually works in China. He shares the hoops these Chinese tech companies must go through to even operate as a business. And towards the end of the conversation, Jiajung shares the overall sentiment of the people of China on content moderation and what they do about it. Ultimately the conversation converges on the topic of Ethereum, decentralization, and crypto writ large in China. This is a special Layer Zero as it shows a side of China many of us don’t typically get a chance to experience and it highlights the importance of crypto fundamentals. ------ ------ ------ 🌱 LENS | ACCESS CODE: MINTME 🚀 ROCKET POOL | ETH STAKING ⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM 🦁 BRAVE | THE BROWSER NATIVE WALLET 🌉 JUNO | BRIDGE FIAT TO LAYER 2 ⚡️ ZKSYNC | THE LAYER 2 SCALING ENDGAME ------ 0:00 Intro ------ Jiajung Zeng ----- |

132 - Polynya's Crypto Thesis
01:07:11
This conversation has been a long time coming. Polynya is a pseudonymous writer, investor, and crypto researcher. Polynya coined the term “modular blockchain” and has been influential on 100 different crypto topics, most notably on rollups, though they’re quick to point out that rollups are no longer their main focus. This is a unique episode, in which Bankless DAO’s Eureka John acts out Polynya’s voice based on a 5-hour text-based discord interview. Tune in as we explore Polynya’s fascinating mind, covering their broad crypto thesis, EIP-4844, and the future of Ethereum Scalability. ------ ------ ------ 🌱 LENS | ACCESS CODE: MINTME 🚀 ROCKET POOL | ETH STAKING ⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM 🦁 BRAVE | THE BROWSER NATIVE WALLET 🌉 JUNO | BRIDGE FIAT TO LAYER 2 ⚡️ ZKSYNC | THE LAYER 2 SCALING ENDGAME ------ 0:00 Intro ------ Polynya on Twitter: Polynya’s Writing: Modular Blockchains: Eureka John: ----- |

Cryptographer David Chaum | Layer Zero
01:10:59
David Chaum is a computer scientist and an OG member of the cryptography community. His innovation has driven much of the mathematical foundation of cryptocurrency, and he continues to work on projects like xx Network. In 1985, David issued this warning to the public: “Computerization is robbing individuals of the ability to monitor and control the ways information about them is used. Already, public and private sector organizations acquire extensive personal information and exchange it amongst themselves… The automation of payment and other consumer transactions is expanding these dangers to an unprecedented extent.” In today’s surveillance capitalism, it’s clear that we need cryptography now more than ever. ------ ------ ------ 🚀 ROCKET POOL | ETH STAKING ⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM ❎ ACROSS | BRIDGE TO LAYER 2 🦁 BRAVE | THE BROWSER NATIVE WALLET 🌴 MAKER DAO | DECENTRALIZED LENDING 🔐 LEDGER | SECURE STAKING ------ 0:00 Intro ------ David on Twitter: David’s Website: ----- |

52:53
We’re currently watching one of the the largest events in Crypto history.

Was it a coordinated attack, or an inevitable collapse? What Red Flags were there ahead of time? What’s the fallout from all of this?
