Beyond Bitcoin: Ethereum and the race to build better blockchains

Raoul Pal argues that while Bitcoin is eating the world, Ethereum could prove the bigger shift of all. Andrew Keys, a former ConsenSys executive, explains why he believes ETH could become the reserve asset of the internet, and how his Ether Machine was built as a $2.5 billion Ethereum treasury company for Wall Street. Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal discusses the Ethereum Merge. MIT professor Silvio Micali sets out how Algorand aims to solve the blockchain trilemma, and Avalanche founder Emin Gün Sirer describes a future where all of the world’s assets are digitised.

DeFi, stablecoins and tokenisation

Stani Kulechov explains how Aave lets people earn interest and borrow without a bank. Compound founder Robert Leshner argues decentralised finance is cheaper, faster and more transparent than the system it replaces, and Synthetix founder Kain Warwick makes the case that crypto derivatives are the future of DeFi. Jeremy Allaire explains why he believes stablecoins open up the financial system to the masses. Teeka Tiwari calls DeFi the biggest trend since the commercial internet, and Yat Siu argues that tokenisation will give people real ownership of their digital lives.

Crashes, regulation and investing through the cycle

Crypto has been through brutal bear markets, and these guests explain how to think about them. Anthony Scaramucci unpacks the FTX collapse and what SEC oversight means for the industry. Former CFTC chairman Chris Giancarlo, known as CryptoDad, looks at crypto regulation and the rise of central bank digital currencies. Benjamin Cowen argues that most price predictions are wrong because traders do not understand market cycles. Scott Melker shares how he trades when markets are crashing, Nexo co-founder Antoni Trenchev talks about surviving a sell-off, and Pantera Capital founder Dan Morehead explains why he believes crypto’s growth is only beginning.
