  • Some big news items in this week’s Mining Pod roundup, including Swan Bitcoin’s mining lawsuit and Bitdeer’s 13.5 J/TH ASIC chip.

    Welcome back to The Mining Pod! For this week’s roundup, Will, Colin, and Matt discuss the bombshell news that Swan Bitcoin is suing its former employees and contractors, alleging that the cabal stole proprietary aspects of Swan’s bitcoin mining business. Speaking of corporate sparring, the gang also covers the news that Riot and Bitfarms have settled (for now, at least) their dispute over Riot’s attempts to acquire its rival. They also discuss Bitdeer’s new SEAL02 ASIC chip, which Bitdeer claims is capable of 13.5 J/TH power efficiency, and why bitcoin mining ASICs are not securities despite some reporting to the contrary. Finally, in this week’s cry corner, they address the indefatigable, maddening myths that persist about Bitcoin’s global electricity use (no Bill Maher, Bitcoin does not use 8% of the world’s electricity, but thank you for playing!).

  • With the Fed cutting rates, what’s the next move for crypto? Two macro investors discuss Bitcoin's sluggish summer, how the 2024 elections could impact crypto markets, and much more.

    The Fed just made its first rate cut in years, slashing 50 basis points off interest rates—but what does this mean for the crypto markets? With Bitcoin lagging behind traditional finance, and the looming U.S. elections, uncertainty is growing. 

    In this episode, Quinn Thompson of Lekker Capital and Travis Kling of Ikigai Asset Management break down the major factors influencing the markets: from Bitcoin’s sluggish summer and the unwinding of the Japan yen carry trade, to why the 2024 elections could be a pivotal moment for crypto. Are these the catalysts we’ve been waiting for, or should we brace for more turbulence ahead?

    Also, they cover which assets could benefit the most under a Trump administration, and why they believe SOL could have a negative catalyst in the near future.

    Show highlights:

    Why the Fed cut the rates by 50 basis points and what the chances of a recession are in the U.S.Why Bitcoin has underperformed the broader TradFi markets this summerThe risks of the unwinding of the Japan carry trade for cryptoHow the election results might matter differently for different sectors of the industryWhether rate cuts affect stablecoin yields in DeFi How the approval of Bitcoin ETF options will affect the price of BTCWhether Bitcoin miners will be affected by AI’s need for computing powerEther’s lagging performance this year and what might be a huge catalyst for ETHHow SOL will manage through the huge unlock in early 2025What Quinn and Travis think about investing in memecoinsHow the rise of Base will impact Coinbase

In our conversation, we touch on what inspired the book, Rob’s experience researching and writing it, and what he plans to include in the second edition. This isn’t your grandfather’s almanac…

  • Congressmen Tom Emmer and Patrick McHenry sent the SEC a letter demanding clarification on how crypto airdrops are securities offerings. Amanda Tuminelli of the DeFi Education Fund breaks down why she thinks the SEC is wrong on its interpretation.

    This week, Republican Representatives Tom Emmer and Patrick McHenry sent a letter pressing SEC Chair Gary Gensler for clarity on how securities laws apply to airdrops.

    With billions of dollars worth of tokens airdropped this year alone, projects need clarity more than ever. 

    In this episode, Amanda Tuminelli, Chief Legal Officer of the DeFi Education Fund, dissects the SEC’s stance on airdrops, why her organization believes the SEC has stretched the legal definition of “compensation” too far, and what Congress might ask Gensler in his upcoming hearing.

    Plus, she talks about how the SEC “regrets” any confusion it caused for using the term “crypto assets securities,” since the agency now admits that tokens themselves are not securities.  

    Show highlights:

    Why Amanda believes the SEC’s position on airdrops doesn’t make senseWhy the DeFi Education Fund sued the SEC over the BEBA airdrop How the SEC’s position on airdrops has been clear for a while, but is “wrong” according to AmandaHer take on users bypassing the geographic restrictions to claim airdrops in the U.S.How and why the SEC has changed its language around “crypto assets securities”How the SEC’s new position on crypto assets implicating securities laws seems to rest on the “embodiment” theoryWhy Amanda believes the Supreme Court or Congress may be needed to step inWhat Amanda expects Congress to question Gary Gensler about in the hearing next weekAmanda’s takeaways from the first Congressional DeFi hearing last weekHow she expects the presidential election will impact the regulatory landscape in the U.S.
