“The U.S. is trying to disconnect from Ethereum," that’s what Joe Lubin the CEO of Consensys said in today’s conversation. He was talking about those in power trying to unplug Ethereum from the citizens. The SEC is going after Kraken, Coinbase, Uniswap and Metamask. They’re trying to turn every non-custodial wallet into a broker-dealer. We brought on Joe Lubin, a crypto OG and CEO of Consensys the company behind a number of massive crypto projects including the popular Metamask wallet, and Matt Corva, the General Counsel at Consensys, leading the charge against the SEC  Joe and Matt are producing evidence that the SEC is coming after Ethereum itself. Sending discovery requests to Ethereum core developers, threatening their employers - pushing a coordinated effort to claim Ether is a security so they can control it. So Consensys is taking them to court to settle the issue. If they’re successful it’ll be the first time we get a clear court ruling that Ether is a commodity and not a security. ------ 📣 TRANSPORTER - SECURED BY CHAINLINK CCIP | TRY IT OUT transporter.io ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🐙KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2     ⁠   🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK https://bankless.cc/Mantle   🌐 CARTESI | APPLY FOR A GRANT https://bankless.cc/CartesiGovernance  🔗CELO | CEL2 COMING SOON https://bankless.cc/Celo   🏠 CASA | SECURE YOUR GENERATIONAL WEALTH https://bankless.cc/Casa   🗣️TOKU | CRYPTO EMPLOYMENT SOLUTION https://bankless.cc/toku   🏙️ CONSENSUS | SAVE 20% WITH CODE BANKLESS https://bankless.cc/4aykesD   ------ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 6:35 SEC vs. Ethereum  9:45 The Uniqueness of This Case 11:15 88,000 Pages to the SEC 12:11 SEC Going After Devs?  14:47 The Wells Notice 16:27 ETH ETF 17:58 Outcome of Consensys Winning   21:29 U.S. Law Process & Timeline 25:55 Ether Isn’t a Security 34:50 Gary’s Confidence Conspiracy   41:17 MetaMask Isn’t a Broker Dealer 47:10 What is Prometheum?  51:10 How Can the SEC Win?

Eigenlayer token details are here! Don’t call it an Airdrop - This is a Stakedrop — because that’s the only thing you can do with your EIGEN tokens out of the gate.  15% of the total Supply of Eigen distributed over multiple Seasons, Season 1 starts today with 5% of the supply, and one of the most sophisticated set of smart contracts on Mainnet.

Erik Torenburg and Haseeb Quereshi join us for today's debate. Should we accelerate or decelerate our tech progress? How about when it comes to something as powerful as AI? This is not just a debate in tech circles - this is a political debate that poised to define the next decade.  We’ve had leaders from both sides of the debate on the podcast - episodes with Elizer Yudkowski and Beff Jezos. You’ve heard what they think. Today’s episode is a discussion and at times a debate on these opinions to help you think through where you stand on this issue - Haseeb Quereshi tends toward the EA side which favors more caution and regulatory intervention around AI while Erik Torenburg tends toward the e/acc side of the issue which favors faster progress and lighter touch. ------ 📣SPOTIFY PREMIUM RSS FEED | USE CODE: SPOTIFY24  https://bankless.cc/spotify-premium  ------ 🔐 SAFE | USE SAFE, GET REWARDED.

Today’s episode is about exploring the frontier of tokens on Bitcoin with guest Casey Rodarmor. Casey is the creator of the Ordinals Protocol, a harmless protocol that simply allowed for arbitrary data to be inscribed into individual Bitcoin UTXOs, creating what are called Bitcoin NFTs. He is now also the creators of Runes, a second protocol, working to bring fungible tokens to Bitcoin.  Bitcoin is changing and Casey appears to be one of main reasons for the change. Soon he’ll be unveiling a new protocol standard for Bitcoin - called Runes, which wants to be a bitcoin-native version of fungible tokens, on the Bitcoin L1 - which is going to be the topic of the show today. ------ 📣 PERMISSIONLESS III | BUY TICKETS NOW  Bankless Citizens get 30% off: https://www.bankless.com/tools/perks  Use BANKLESS10 for 10% off: https://bankless.cc/PermissionlessIII  ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🐙KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2    ⁠  🔗CELO | CEL2 COMING SOON https://bankless.cc/Celo  🔐 SAFE | ATTEND SAFE{CON} https://bankless.cc/SafeCon  ⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM ⁠https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum   🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK https://bankless.cc/Mantle  🗣️TOKU | CRYPTO EMPLOYMENT SOLUTION https://bankless.cc/toku  ------ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 5:00 The Guy Who Changed Bitcoin 10:21 Why Casey’s Building 16:45 Ordinals Cultural Shift 22:43 Runes 31:40 The Ord Standard  45:27 Bitcoin Blocks & Blockspace Limit 57:47 Bitcoin Innovation Implications  1:02:41 Rune Parameters 1:11:20 The First Runes (Uncommon Goods)  1:14:34 Timeline on Runes & Trading Ecosystem 1:17:12 The Future of Runes/Ordinals 1:19:48 The Bitcoin Renaissance  1:21:34 Winning Over Bitcoin Maximalists 1:23:45 Casey’s Podcast     1:24:58 Runes Team 1:26:37 Closing & Disclaimers    ------ RESOURCES Casey’s 1st Bankless Episode  https://youtu.be/ktL77zEWcEc  Casey’s Twitter https://twitter.com/rodarmor   Casey’s Hellmoney Podcast  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCflejnUswWof6yEMk9dRzOA  ------ Not financial or tax advice.
