  • What is Arthur Hayes buying for 2025?

    We recorded this on the U.S election day so we don’t know who won at the time of recording. Regardless, Arthur says the election doesn’t matter. To him, the outcome is the same no matter who’s in power, they will print money.

    We talk about the Chinese property bubble and the coming money cannon which Arthur thinks will be bigger than the COVID stimulus. The Fed’s next move, why the treasury is sucking all the oxygen out of the room. We get into his crypto portfolio, what he’s holding and why.

  • The collision between crypto and AI agents has officially begun. Matthew Stephensen of Pantera Capital research partner and author of “Crypto: Picks and Shovels for the AI Gold Rush,” joins us today.

    We dive into the world of autonomous AI agents on blockchains, discussing the evolving role of agents, AI-driven market changes, and whether blockchain is the natural substrate for AI. Matt sheds light on topics from agent liability and regulatory challenges to infrastructure value capture and the "picks and shovels" approach to investing in AI-driven crypto tech.

    Are AI agents on blockchains the obvious future? And how do scarcity and abundance interact in this new era? Join us as we tackle these questions and more, exploring what the future might hold at the intersection of AI, autonomy, and blockchain.

  • In this episode of Bankless Takes we dive into the growing sentiment that Ethereum is losing its edge, with its roadmap straying and competitors catching up.
    We’ve spent a long time evaluating these arguments, and today, we give our take on the Ethereum Roadmap Wars. This is our best take on how the debate unfolds and why, in the end, we’re still bullish on Ethereum’s future.
