🎬 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.

Is it all vibes? Always has been.

Kyla Scanlon is a writer, podcaster, analyst, founder of financial education company Bread, and an all around brilliant explainer of things hard to explain.

Expect to learn why economies are vibe reflectors, Kyla’s “economic kingdom” model and an overview on the current state of economic affairs.

Financial literacy is a superpower and Kyla managed to compress this topic that people have been trying to figure out for ages in an easy to understand economics toolbox.

🎬 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.
