✨ DEBRIEF | Ryan & David unpacking the episode: https://www.bankless.com/debrief-the-jeremy-allaire-interview

------ Joining the podcast today we have the man behind the largest US based stablecoin, Jeremy Allaire, the Founder of USDC Circle.

A year ago USDC depegged in the face of major banks like SVB and Silvergate collapsing. How did Jeremy deal with that? What year is crypto in internet years? Why don’t we have a venmo for crypto yet? Fast forward to 2030, what’s the total value of stablecoins?

Stay tuned because we ask all that and much more.

Tech Acceleration vs Deceleration: e/acc vs. d/acc debate | Erik Torenberg & Haseeb Qureshi Apr 24, 2024

Show notes

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.

Runes: Tokens on Bitcoin | Casey Rodamor Apr 18, 2024

Show notes

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.
