David Hoffman is the Co-Founder of Bankless, one of the most influential media platforms in the crypto ecosystem. In this episode, we cover everything from the evolution of crypto cycles and Trump’s influence on the digital asset space to the mental health toll of online criticism, the philosophy behind content creation, and what it means to "be the best at something in the world."

We also dive into how David broke into the crypto space, the emotional spiral that led him to discover Ethereum, and why podcasting is one of the last remaining forms of true human conversation online.
