140 - The Future is Fiat | Noah Smith (Noahpinion)
17 oktober 2022 · 1 uur 50 min
✨ DEBRIEF | Unpacking the Episode:
https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/debrief-noah Lees meer-----
Noah Smith is a writer economist, with fiercely independent takes that he articulates with precision and clarity. We see him as a knowledgable crypto outsider, which is a rare trait we've seen throughout the posts on his blog, Noahpinion.
In today's episode, we cover geopolitics in broad strokes—Noah thinks we're already at war in the form of an economic showdown between the New Allies and New Axis.
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.

Dissenting from China's Censorship with Jiajun Zeng | Layer Zero
30 augustus 2022 · 1 uur 7 min
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. Lees meer
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.

https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/debrief-ethereum-unsensored Lees meerWith Tornado Cash sanctioning news making waves, the crypto community is asking a big question: Is censorship on Ethereum possible?
We brought on Ethereum researcher Justin Drake to explore this question in detail.
Establishing and preserving censorship resistance is possibly the most important challenge faced by the Ethereum. Covering deep topics like weak vs strong censorship, user-activated soft forks, Justin takes us down what is perhaps our most important rabbit hole yet.

133 - Flashbots Saves Crypto with Stephane Gosselin
22 augustus 2022 · 1 uur 33 min
Stephane Gosselin is the Founder of Flashbots, an R&D organization that’s trying to fix the most pernicious problem in crypto—the problem of MEV (Maximum Extractable Value). Lees meer
Many of us are massively optimistic about crypto and aren’t worried too much about its future. However, this MEV thing could be our achilles heel.
On this episode, we dive into what Stephane and his team are doing to make MEV less of a potential weak point, how MEV works, and what our industry would look like if Flashbots didn't exist. And of course—so much more.
This is another fundamental Bankless episode that you won’t want to miss.

132 - Polynya's Crypto Thesis
15 augustus 2022 · 1 uur 10 min
This conversation has been a long time coming. Polynya is a pseudonymous writer, investor, and crypto researcher. Lees meer
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.

Cryptographer David Chaum | Layer Zero
9 augustus 2022 · 1 uur 21 min
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. Lees meer
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.

8 augustus 2022 · 1 uur 51 min
✨ DEBRIEF ✨ | Ryan & David's Unfiltered Thoughts on the Episode: https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/debrief-rise-of-the-network-state Lees meer
Balaji Srinivasan is an investor, founder, and Former CTO of Coinbase and GP at a16z and author of The Network State, which will be the main focus of the podcast today.
The Network State explores ideas surrounding digital communities and the future of how we coordinate as a species. A startup society fosters the emergence of network unions, which evolve into a network archipelago—eventually calcifying into the network state.
As we muse about the fate of human systems, we explore mental models for understanding the digital revolution and how we can allow coordination to thrive.
