January 24, 2023Not Just FTX: One Skeptic’s Take on Why Crypto Is a Scam - Ep. 446
James Block, crypto skeptic and author of the Dirty Bubble Media newsletter, rose to prominence with a timely post predicting FTX’s insolvency. The blogger, a doctor by day, explains why he sees crypto as an unregulated morass of would-be securities and outright “Ponzi schemes.” From an early interest in Tether to connecting the dots on Celsius, Block explains why he does what he does and why almost all of crypto is just “regulatory arbitrage.”

Show highlights:
how James got into crypto and why he started writing about the space
why James chose "Dirty Bubble Media" for the name of his publication
the problems with the legitimacy of crypto projects
the reasons to be bearish on Coinbase
why the question of whether Bitcoin has intrinsic value is highly subjective
whether every token in crypto is a scam and whether regulations will hit stablecoin issuers hard
how FTX used tokens to create fictitious value worth billions of dollars
why Celsius and FTX were closely linked, and the difference between both cases
ties James found between FTX's European subsidiary and a company doing binary options, an industry characterized by fraud
how he believes financial fraud is similar throughout history — it doesn't repeat, but it rhymes
James’s concerns around Signature Bank and its "questionable tactics"
why Genesis and DCG got into trouble and how James thinks the situation will likely play out
whether exchange tokens are securities and why he believes they have very little value
why he says BNB resembles OneCoin's pyramid scheme

January 20, 2023Why Crypto Developer Activity Continues to Grow Despite the Bear Market - Ep. 445
Maria Shen, partner at Electric Capital, unpacks the venture firm’s latest Developer Report. Hotly anticipated among crypto observers, the annual report captures which chains developers are building on. Despite 2022’s price carnage, the report finds developer interest remains strong. Ethereum is the leading chain by far but EVM-compatibility is emerging as a major force in winning developers’ hearts and minds. Shen unpacks Bitcoin’s stability, Terra’s implosion, and many more insights from crypto’s open-source code repos.

Show highlights:
why the report "undercounts" developers and how it defines active developers
how developers represent a fundamental measure of the health of emerging technologies like crypto
the meaning of developer numbers going up even when prices plummet
why in recent years the speed of developer growth jumped so drastically
what happened after the number of developers reached an all-time high in June 2022
the role of Terra in the decline of developer activity in 2022’s second half
why Ethereum dominates the ecosystem and whether it will continue to be the leader
the benefits of being part of “the EVM universe”
why the number of Bitcoin developers has remained flat over the last year
whether looking at the number of developers in the NFT ecosystem is even relevant

January 10, 2023What Does Mango Markets Exploiter Avi Eisenberg's Arrest in Puerto Rico Mean for DeFi? - Ep. 441
Gabriel Shapiro, general counsel at Delphi Labs, and Collins Belton, managing partner at Brookwood P.C., dive into the controversial case of Avi Eisenberg, the self-described “applied game theorist” who was arrested in Puerto Rico on Dec. 26 on market manipulation and fraud charges. The two crypto lawyers discuss the case’s potential impact on DeFi and DAO governance — and whether “code is law” stands a chance in the courtroom.

Show highlights:
whether Avi’s manipulation of the markets constitutes fraud
debating the crypto maxim “code is law”
whether it’s wrong to use DeFi code in a “smarter way”
how the Mango Markets exploit happened due to poor governance management
whether crypto should be regulated from the securities angle or the commodities angle
the consequences of Avi’s arrest for the DeFi space
whether MEV could constitute market manipulation, even if it’s democratized for everybody
the role of DAOs and whether early-stage projects should maintain some level of centralization
how DAOs could be designed to have better mechanisms in order to deal with potential issues
whether members of the Mango Markets DAO are liable because of their role in designing the system
how Avi was “naive” to think he could avoid legal liability by returning the funds
why Gabe thinks credit protocols are socially positive and why he hopes that prosecutors won’t “throw everyone in jail”

January 06, 2023Gemini vs. DCG Is Heating Up. Could Gemini Force Genesis Into Bankruptcy? - Ep. 440
Ram Ahluwalia, CEO and cofounder at Lumida, talks about the ongoing dispute between Gemini and Digital Currency Group (DCG), specifically focusing on the actions and statements of DCG CEO Barry Silbert and Gemini’s cofounder Cameron Winklevoss. Ram discusses various aspects of the conflict, including the potential commingling of assets between DCG and its subsidiary Genesis and the options available to Gemini if DCG does not cooperate.

Show highlights:
how Cameron Winklevoss’s tweets attempt to put Barry Silbert in the same class of actors as Celsius and BlockFi
whether the assets of DCG and Genesis are commingled
what Gemini’s options are if DCG does not commit to cooperate
whether Gemini will file an involuntary petition for Genesis to enter chapter 11 bankruptcy
why Barry's statement that DCG didn't borrow $1.675 billion from Genesis is "very surprising" to Ram
why it is relevant whether Genesis has a liquidity issue or an insolvency one
whether a class-action lawsuit alleging Gemini's earn product is an unregistered security has any merit
the essential role of the $1.1 billion promissory note and whether Genesis will drag DCG into bankruptcy
if DCG goes under, what would happen to Grayscale
whether Valkyrie is going to become the hero and save GBTC
why DCG needs to accept the credit committee terms, according to Ram
