----- Santi Siri - GreenPill #2

Santiago Siri—or santi.eth on Twitter—is building UBI on Ethereum through Proof of Humanity, the "sybil resistant protocol for formalizing human identity on the blockchain" that launched in March 2021.

Santi is a relentless source of optimism and innovation, embodying the phenomenon of Latin American crypto development. Santi comes from Argentina, a country with a rich history of culture, inflation, corruption, and resilience.

Reflecting on his tour through Buenos Aires with Vitalik Buterin, Santi explores the circumstances and possible futures we can build with regenerative cryptoeconomics.

Solving sybil resistance and building elegant mechanisms for UBI are massive pillars for human thriving as we seek to carve out 21st century institutions -- and Santi is helping to lead the way.

Take the Green Pill, anon.

DAVID READS: Crypto is Here to Set You Free Mar 01, 2022

Show notes

Free markets are an incredible force. They allow humans to come together and produce a global price on something.

But today's 'free markets' aren't really free. Access to markets is gatekept, and the ability for something of value to become instantiated into an asset is permissioned.

Read along with David’s most recent thought piece on why 'Crypto is Here to Set Us Free.'

Karl Floersch is the co-founder of Optimism, the Ethereum rollup scaling solution, as well as one of the primary advocates in the space for public goods funding.

Karl is inspiring on many levels—both individually with his seemingly boundless optimism and energy, and also his prolific work in the Ethereum ecosystem.

Optimism is simultaneously scaling Ethereum’s transaction space and its values & ethos, pledging to recycle its fees into public goods. A central goal of regenerative finance is to align economic value with our moral values, and Karl’s work on retroactive public goods funding is pushing us towards that brighter, solarpunk future.

We also explore the concept of ‘Ether’s Phoenix,’ a hypothetical being that rewards you for manifesting it—directly contrasting the concept of Roko’s Basilisk (research at your own risk).

Take the Green Pill, anon.

ETHDenver 2022 is Scaling Vibes | Andrew Yang, Erik Voorhees, Kevin Owocki Feb 22, 2022

Show notes

Few things compare to ETH Denver. It is impossible to fully capture the experience of the crypto community at a massive gathering like this, but these two choice talks provide a snapshot of the vibes and ethos of the 2022 conference. Kevin Owocki and Erik Voorhees join to synthesize the respective merits of individualism and collectivism, and Andrew Yang stepped up to give an impromptu call to action for the community to rally around productive goals.

We are scaling out the crypto vibes, and that was abundantly clear this week. Far larger than any previous ETH Denver, this conference truly felt like a Schelling point for folks changing the world via novel, elegant mechanisms. We just can’t wait for ETH Denver 2023.

From gaming guppy to Orca whale, this week we’re talking to Tetranode. Who is this whale man? Well, he’s an anonymous DeFi billionaire who has been a part of and has shaped the crypto world since the early days of the space.

Not everyone is a whale, but everyone is definitely trying to become one. If you dream of becoming a whale one day, this episode is your blueprint. We uncover all of Tetranode’s whale secrets, such as why farmers are the best alpha, why he’s team Ethereum vs. team Alt Layer 1s, and of course—Tetranode’s advice on becoming a whale yourself.
