Why do banks suck? Banks suck is the reason we started this bankless thing. Not that banks are all bad but they take too much and give to little. They need to be disrupted. We brought Mel Mattison, author of Quoz, and he’s very clear on what’s wrong with banks. They’ve become too centralized, unbalanced, short-sighted, corrupt. Power has tilted away from the people and into the hands of a central banking cabal. The relationship between sovereign governments and private banks has become an unholy alliance. ------ 📣 SPOTIFY PREMIUM RSS FEED | USE CODE: SPOTIFY24  https://bankless.cc/spotify-premium  ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🐙KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2    ⁠  🦄UNISWAP | BROWSER EXTENSION https://bankless.cc/uniswap  ⚡️ FUEL | EARN FUEL POINTS https://bankless.cc/fuel  🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK https://bankless.cc/Mantle    ⚖️ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM ⁠https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum  🗣️TOKU | CRYPTO EMPLOYMENT  https://bankless.cc/toku  ------ ✨ Mint the episode on Zora ✨ https://zora.co/collect/zora:0x0c294913a7596b427add7dcbd6d7bbfc7338d53f/35?referrer=0x077Fe9e96Aa9b20Bd36F1C6290f54F8717C5674E  ------ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 5:41 Quoz 8:15 Monetary History 19:13 History of Banks 29:27 Banks: The Good 42:17 Banks: The Bad 57:16 The Banking Cabal 1:12:55 The Central Bank Endgame 1:20:56 The Great Taking 1:33:12 How to Prepare 1:42:17 Crypto 1:52:43 Closing & Disclaimers ------ RESOURCES Mel Mattison https://x.com/melmattison1   Quoz https://www.melmattison.com/quoz   The Great Taking https://books.google.pt/books/about/The_Great_Taking.html?id=JzSx0AEACAAJ&redir_esc=y   ------ Not financial or tax advice.

Bankless Nation, the question today is: Is the U.S. flipping pro-crypto? The United States has either been anti-crypto or neutral since the birth of Bitcoin. That’s starting to change. For the first time, we actually have momentum in D.C. There will be many battles ahead, but right now, crypto is making progress. What would a pro-crypto America look like?

SOL is currently trading at an 83% discount to ETH - should it be? Michael Nadeau is a crypto analyst who can help us answer this question. His approach isn’t technical, he isn’t a decentralization-maximalist, and he doesn’t represent any specific tribe. Instead, he focuses on current on-chain fundamentals like daily active users, fee revenue, and Total Value Locked to provide insights. In our discussion, we explore why fundamentals matter when analyzing crypto assets like ETH and SOL. We review the data for 2024 to see who’s winning and examine the catalysts for both ETH and SOL. Additionally, Michael shares his price predictions for ETH and SOL this cycle and offers insights on which asset will outperform the other in the second half of the bear market. ------ ✨ Mint the episode on Zora ✨ https://zora.co/collect/zora:0x0c294913a7596b427add7dcbd6d7bbfc7338d53f/32?referrer=0x077Fe9e96Aa9b20Bd36F1C6290f54F8717C5674E  ------ 🐡 PUFFER | CHECK OUT PUFFER UNIFI https://bankless.cc/PufferUnifi  ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🐙 KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2  ⁠  🛞 MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK https://bankless.cc/Mantle  🦄 UNISWAP | BROWSER EXTENSION https://bankless.cc/uniswap  ⚡️ FUEL | EARN FUEL POINTS https://bankless.cc/fuel  ⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM ⁠https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum  🗣️ TOKU | CRYPTO EMPLOYMENT SOLUTION https://bankless.cc/toku  ------ TIMESTAMPS 00:00:00 Start 00:02:59 Are Fundamentals Having a Moment? 00:08:59 Solana's 83% Discount 00:12:11 Fundamentals Data 00:17:09 Fees, SOL vs ETH 00:19:52 Fee Generation & MEV 00:22:36 DEX Volume 00:25:31 Stablecoin Volume 00:28:08 Total Value Locked 00:31:49 Core Devs 00:34:50 Value Accrual 00:41:45 The Bull Case For Ether 00:49:22 Upcoming Catalysts 00:57:09 Qualitative Differences 00:59:40 Price: SOL vs ETH 01:04:10 Price Targets ------ RESOURCES Michael's Report: https://thedefireport.io/research/sol-discount-eth  ------ Not financial or tax advice.

David is joined by Leighton Cusack and Matt Metkov, two members of PleasrDAO, the organization that owns and is releasing the Wu-Tang Album.  The Wu-Tang Clan created a unique album, “Once Upon a Time in Shaolin,” to combat music’s devaluation in the digital age. It was bought by Martin Shkreli in 2015, who later lost it due to a fraud conviction. In 2021, PleasrDAO, a crypto collective, purchased the album to restore its value and make it accessible to the public, promoting fairer digital ownership in the Web3 era. Hear how you can own the most exclusive music album and help support the movement.  ------ ✨ Mint the episode on Zora ✨ https://zora.co/collect/zora:0x0c294913a7596b427add7dcbd6d7bbfc7338d53f/22   ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🐙KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2    ⁠  ⚡️ CARTESI | LINUX-POWERED ROLLUPS https://bankless.cc/CartesiGovernance    ⚖️ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM ⁠https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum  🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK https://bankless.cc/Mantle  🌐 TRANSPORTER | CROSS CHAINS WITH CONFIDENCE https://transporter.io/  🔗CELO | CEL2 COMING SOON https://bankless.cc/Celo  ------ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 9:09 What’s Special About This Album? 11:13 One-Off Event Or New Path For Artists? 14:24 Music Scenario: 2014 vs. Now? 17:41 Music Renting VS Collecting/Ownership  22:25 How To Own The Album? 26:47 Rights & Collaboration  28:07 Rethinking Music Distribution  31:02 Magnitude Of Album Release 32:47 Why Crypto People Should Care? 34:56 David On The Album Songs 38:05 Where To Own The Album? 40:16 Sales & Record-Breaking Week 43:48 Closing & Disclosures ------ RESOURCES Mint Here https://thealbum.com   Leighton https://x.com/lay2000lbs  ------ Not financial or tax advice.

What if the information anarchy of the internet spells the downfall of liberalism? Economist Noah Smith and Ethereum Founder Vitalik Buterin join us for a fascinating discussion on why Authoritarianism might be the answer to the current information warfare.
