“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.

🎬 DEBRIEF | Ryan & David unpacking the episode:
https://www.bankless.com/debrief-the-justin-drake-vs-anatoly-yakovenko-interview
------
Ethereum vs. Solana. That’s the debate we’re having today.
On Ethereum’s side we have Ethereum Researcher Justin Drake, and on the Solana’s we have Solana’s Co-Founder Anatoly Yakovenko.
They give us the good, the bad and the ugly of each other’s blockchain, settling their endgame towards the end of the episode.
This was one, if not the spiciest debate we had on the show. We tried our best to give both guests time with minimal intervention. At times went well, at others it caused deep semantic rabbit holes. But overall both guests were able to communicate their messages.

🎬 DEBRIEF | Ryan & David unpacking the episode:
https://www.bankless.com/debrief-the-timothy-massad-interview
------
Are stablecoins a threat to national security? 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.

The Ether spot ETF has officially been approved marking a landmark day for Ethereum and crypto as a whole. We're going live today to discuss the extent of this approval and what it means for Ether the asset, and more broadly the entire crypto industry. This is a big deal and we're stoked to be sharing this moment live with the Bankless Nation.

Are we being watched?
That’s the question we ask Byron Tau, an investigative journalist and author of “Means of Control'' that covers all about the US surveillance state.
Turns out the US Government has a digital dossier of every citizen, but how? How do they collect the data? How are they using it? Can we ever get back our digital privacy?
Expect to learn all that and much more in what is a deep dive into digital surveillance.

In today’s episode, we’re exploring the frontier of onchain universes, on Ethereum.
Autonomous Worlds is the new frontier of digital onchain universes, being pioneered by the Lattice team, of which Justin Glibert on the show today is the co-founder and CEO.
Ethereum is not just a financial computer, but a root of state for an infinite number of universes, all with their own laws of physics, objects, players, agents, and state… and, like our universe, still continues with, or without, our presence.
Justin walks us through the evolution of Autonomous Worlds. Get ready because you're going to get a taste of where the Internet has always been pointing towards… it just took us a while to get here.

Bankless listener, if you want to survive this decade as an investor, as a market participant or even just as a citizen, you have to tune in to this episode with author and investor, Lyn Alden.
We’re entering a new era. “Nothing Stops this Train” as Lyn would say. We’ve entered the Era of Fiscal Dominance.
- What era is this?
- Who will be the winners and losers?
- What about capital controls?
- How can you prepare?
- How will Crypto perform?
We get into all this and much more in what is a must-listen Fiscal Dominance Masterclass.

What’s the Endgame for Bitcoin Scaling? That’s what we asked bitcoin builder and researcher Eric Wall.
We start by exploring the evolution of Bitcoin and the genesis of scaling solutions on top of it. We then get into the intricacies of the BitVM, what exactly is a Bitcoin L2 and what’s coming next.
Eric is the perfect guest to explore this frontier of Bitcoin Rollups, he tells it like it is and he understands both Ethereum and Bitcoin.
