“Energy is the base layer of money” -  that’s how our guest Luke Gromen puts it in today’s episode. Luke is an Author and Investor who gives us a completely new way to look at money, through the lens of energy costs.  The essential learning of today’s show is that you can’t understand money until you understand energy markets. Apart from that Luke explains why the price of oil is about to force a monetary system change, why the 60/40 portfolio is dead and much more. ------ ✨ Mint the episode on Zora ✨ https://zora.co/collect/zora:0x0c294913a7596b427add7dcbd6d7bbfc7338d53f/11?referrer=0x077Fe9e96Aa9b20Bd36F1C6290f54F8717C5674E  ------ 🎬 DEBRIEF | Ryan & David unpacking the episode: https://www.bankless.com/debrief-the-luke-gromen-interview  ------ 📣 SPOTIFY PREMIUM RSS FEED | USE CODE: SPOTIFY24  https://bankless.cc/spotify-premium  ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🐙KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2    ⁠ ⚡️ CARTESI | LINUX-POWERED ROLLUPS https://bankless.cc/CartesiGovernance    🏠 CASA | SECURE YOUR GENERATIONAL WEALTH https://bankless.cc/Casa   🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK https://bankless.cc/Mantle  🌐 TRANSPORTER | CROSS CHAINS WITH CONFIDENCE https://transporter.io/  🔗CELO | CEL2 COMING SOON https://bankless.cc/Celo  ------ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 5:57 Luke’s Thesis 12:23 Energy lens 23:23 Arc of the Dollar 28:31 Why Oil? 31:31 Energy as a Denominator 38:12 Energy Price Changes 45:31 Energy Miracles 59:22 Monetary System Change 1:10:41 Capital Controls 1:18:12 Future of the US 1:24:56 How to Prepare 1:30:37 Closing & Disclaimers ------ RESOURCES Luke Gromen https://x.com/LukeGromen   FTT, LLC https://fftt-llc.com/   Luke Gromen Weekly Newsletter https://fftt-treerings.com/   Visualizing the History of Energy Transitions https://www.visualcapitalist.com/visualizing-the-history-of-energy-transitions/   ------ Not financial or tax advice.

How should the US government step in?   We brought Timothy Massad, the perfect guest to help us answer these hard questions. He was the Obama appointed chair for the CFTC, the guy who helped designate Bitcoin as a commodity over 10 years ago.   We touch on: - The importance of stablecoins. - How stablecoins compare to eurodollars. - Weather crypto and sanctions can co-exist. - A sensible policy for stablecoins. - And finally, his thoughts on what happens next.   Timothy brings a whole different perspective from what we’re used to in our crypto bubble. That’s exactly why you should tune into this episode.   ------ 📣 SPOTIFY PREMIUM RSS FEED | USE CODE: SPOTIFY24 https://bankless.cc/spotify-premium    ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS:   🐙KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2  ⁠   🔗CELO | CEL2 COMING SOON https://bankless.cc/Celo    ⚖️ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM ⁠https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum    🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK https://bankless.cc/Mantle    🗣️TOKU | CRYPTO EMPLOYMENT SOLUTION https://bankless.cc/toku    🌐 CARTESI | APPLY FOR A GRANT https://bankless.cc/CartesiGovernance    ------ TIMESTAMPS   0:00 Intro 6:34 Timothy’s Background 9:30 Security vs Commodity 12:46 Stablecoin First Impressions 21:42 The Importance of Stablecoins 28:26 History of the Eurodollar 38:46 Economic Sanctions 47:47 Stablecoins and Sanctions 1:08:59 A Stablecoin Future 1:13:37 A CBDC Future 1:18:49 What about Privacy? 1:20:58 The Role of the Dollar 1:23:18 Stablecoins Abroad 1:25:43 Predictions 1:28:10 Closing & Disclaimers   ------ RESOURCES   Timothy Massad https://x.com/timmassad    Stablecoins and National Security by Timothy Massad https://www.brookings.edu/articles/stablecoins-and-national-security-learning-the-lessons-of-eurodollars/    Five Perspectives on Stablecoins by Nic Carter https://medium.com/@nic__carter/five-perspectives-on-stablecoins-5bc20076270a    ------ Not financial or tax advice.
