Sam, if uh Bitcoin is going to replace you something like gold, which is what, you know, like 15 to to 20 trillion, what's the big number that um Ether uh ETH asset is going to replace. I think it's 10 times bigger at least to 10 times bigger than the gold markets. It's the entire financial system.The entire financial system is kind of hard to put a number on, but it's certainly bigger than the gold markets. It's really almost infinite. And it's just now that Ethereum is coming out of the dark ages.And that ...

You may not have heard from me during the Gensler era because there was no upside in speaking but every minute of every day since proof of stake I have been institutionally managing and securing the Ethereum network. Now that we have a positive regulatory tailwind, where we have acts like the Genius Act, which basically gave stable coin clarity and the largest beneficiary of the Genius Act is Ethereum because the majority of stable coins settle to Ethereum and now it's time to get loud again and it's time t ...

I remember having a private meeting with Michael Sailor last year or a year and a half ago. You probably won't be too happy about me admitting this and what was the content of the conversation. We were in the boardroom together and he was telling me how Bitcoin mining was a business and that I should really think about just being a Bitcoin treasury business and I said, "Well, that's interesting. I kind of agree with you halfway, but I'm thinking about doing that but for Ethereum. " He gave me the dirtiest l ...

What is Ether. Ether is the commodity to the future of the internet. Ether has multiple use cases and multiple ways to be valued.Ether is the fuel for every computational step necessary to process a transaction on the future of the internet. Ether generates yield intrinsically through staking, restaking, and participation in the decentralized financial economy. And Ethereum has escape velocity where 90% of the highquality liquid assets on blockchains are settled to Ethereum.And each one of those requires a ...

Bankless Nation, it is the fourth week of July, the final week of July. It is time for the Bankless Weekly rollups. David, we got alltime high on the uh total crypto market cap. Do you know that? I just saw this while I was preparing the agenda. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 4.001% trillion. >> Yeah. Yeah. That's great. Like Yeah. For $4 trillion. It's incredible. Also, the genius bill was signed last Friday. The question is, what's next? I think this is a big big big deal. And what do you do if you're the White Hou ...

I think the general headline is everything that we believe will work as a proof of human, we will also build ourselves and integrate into world ID. So we're not like orb maxis or anything. It's just that if it really is about getting to scale and about being inclusive and about working in a world of increasing powerful AI, I think the orb is actually the only way to get there after thinking about this problem for like a very very long time.So I think there will not really be a way around this or something t ...

We're obviously still very very early and it could fail for like a thousand reasons. But I think it actually has a meaningful shot at getting to kind of internet scale and I think actually if it does that it's going to be much more than identity. That's the cool part.I think like the early vision of you create a real human network on the internet and you have financial primitives built in will become one of the most valuable networks on the planet I think is fundamentally the right idea and I hope we get th ...

The cool thing that's happening right now, maybe this is small, maybe I'm over hyping this, but if you want to go look at Bitcoin in the Bloomberg terminals, the pricing chart on the right side, like the graph where you see the prices, the little tick marks, they are denominated in millions of dollars. So right now on the price of a Bitcoin, according to Bloomberg, when you go up and open up Bloomberg, you see a Bitcoin price of 0.112% million, not $112,000 or whatever. You see it denominated in millions of ...
