Arthur Hayes thinks the AI bubble will lead to a Credit Event worse than 2008 "If we do get an AI credit event... it will be bigger than 2008.... and the Fed can't outprint Moore's Law If this thesis is correct, and you time this well... you'll never work again So what's the first response by the authorities to save the Banks? They're going to shovel money in... And all investor capital will rotate to Crypto"

Big changes going on at Base! Ryan and I discuss the Pivot going on at Base jesse.base.eth puts 'Web3 Social' back on the shelf, and Cobie takes over Base App product development... likely to prioritize trading Ryan's take: Perhaps taking a risk on social features for Base app was better risk for a startup, rather than in Coinbase

Iran, Unchained w/ Ameen Soleimani and @_Injaneb96. Some will object to using Bankless to cover a subject far outside crypto. I’ve reflected on this - this is an issue where I cannot stay silent. I consider this a personal moral obligation, and I’m ready to own the consequences. Over the past week, I used rhetoric that blurred radical Islamist ideology with Islam more broadly, for which I apologize. For most Muslims, the crimes of the Iranian regime are as foreign and horrifying as they are to anyone else. ====== Now, onto the content: The Islamic Republic has killed an estimated 30k–60k Iranians - one of the fastest state-run mass killings in modern history. But we will never know the true number, since the Regime is actively working to cover it up This regime survives on ignorance of its brutality I produced this episode with Sana Ebrahimi Ledene and Ameen Soleimani in order to educate on how the Islamic Regime of Iran retains and expands its power Regime change in Iran would be the single greatest improvement for humanity Watch this to learn why:

I do my best to explain $ANSEM to RYAN SΞAN ADAMS Memecoins are fundamentally unsustainable, but we know that Regardless, Pump memecoins are graduating 4x more. $SOL is up 15% vs BTC / ETH Energy is brewing on Solana Is this a single shot-in-the-arm, or something sustainable? I remain skeptical

Quantum isn't just Bitcoin's problem Post-quantum signatures are 10x to 1,000x larger than what we use today. High-TPS chains like Solana have hyper-optimized everything, down to the hardware, around tiny signatures All this optimization work is bricked by Quantum Solana will have to rip it all out and rebuild from scratch nic carter discusses:
