Stand with Crypto 17457

After Balaji rang the BitSignal, Arthur Hayers, the Founder of BitMex, outlines how we’re in one of the most chaotic and pivotal times in the macro landscape that we’ve seen, at least since 2008. 

While not fully agreeing with Balaji on his $1M Bitcoin Bet, Hayes agrees directionally. There’s going to be a massive amount of money printed, the government is going to crack down, and the need for self-sovereign digital assets will be critical.

His advice? 

Get your Bitcoin, and get out. 

Artwork generated from the timestamp [52:52 - 53:15] “There’s all these things that the average person needs, that the government can’t print. If there’s just going to not allocate the losses from all this debt, which is essentially I’m going to take the future and spend it today. So we spent the future — there’s no more future. We have to pay for it. So if you have money inside the system, you will have to pay for it.”

Get Your Bitcoin and Get Out! #20

Balaji Srinivasan is an investor, founder, the former CTO of Coinbase, GP at a16z, and author of The Network State.

He’s making a  bold claim - that Bitcoin will reach $1M in 90 days due to the U.S. dollar going into hyperinflation. With these dire predictions and a track record of strong takes, we needed to hear him out. 

He’s pulling the fire alarm for the end of the fiat world. 

Will he be right? 

Artwork generated from the clip [1:32:44 - 1:32:57] “We want the decentralized center. We want to have the free world. And really this is the moment, so take everything that you guys have said seriously over the last 5 years. You got all the right concepts. And help your guys go Bankless.”

A mysterious remnant has been found,  
An ancient letter closely bound  
By a spell that holds the key to the past,  
A treasure that will surely last.

Stories of the past unfold,  
As the veil of time and magic hold  
This remnant, it holds the key to both,  
Illuminating what has been achieved; growth.

So let us hold this remnant dear,  
And allow its lessons to guide us clear  
To a brighter future and better days,  
Where knowledge and empathy lead the way.

Liv Boeree is a former professional poker player, master of game theory, systems thinker, and keen understander of the world of complex systems and the human experience.

She also is one of the few people out there in the world teaching about the lessons of Moloch— the study of human coordination—and is the reason why we wanted to have her on Bankless.

In the episode, Liv makes it clear how Moloch is more than an idea. Coordination and competition failures are happening in every aspect of our lives. Is crypto the solution?

Artwork derived from the timestamp [14:05 - 14:24]: *[Moloch] is the god of the unhealthy competition. It’s not the god of competition, competition is a neutral thing. it’s a form of an interaction, just like coordination or cooperation.* 

*Competition can be used for good. And it can can be used for bad. Moloch is when competition is used for ill.*

Punk6529 is a pseudo-anonymous leader in the crypto space. 

He’s heavily focused on the world of NFTs and known for putting together extremely punchy and thoughtful Twitter threads, thinking about the world from first principles.

NFTs will represent every single digital non-fungible token that exists…and there are going to be a lot of them. Podcasts will be no different. 

Is Punk6529 the most bullish person in the world on NFTs?

In this episode, 6529 shares the benefits of using an NFT-backed pseudonym instead of your state name, why the “freedom to transact” is an essential human liberty we’ll lose without crypto, how the Metaverse is just a visualization layer of NFTs, and why NFTs are more important than DeFi…probably the most important thing crypto has produced.

Artwork generated from timestamp [1:04:47 - 1:05:06] “ There is just a clear path for NFTs being for glitch artist, to NFTs representing every single digital non-fungible object, which is a lot of them. We’re going to have a lot of digital objects. Our economy is not going to get less digital, it’s going to get more digital.

A lottery ticket for Art Blocks #98000586

The Silicon Valley tech companies have become the new banks. They hold all of our data. They control our digital identities. 

Sign-in with Ethereum is the solution. It’s one of the first steps for users to own their data across the web. Instead of logging into the platform, the platform logs into your account. You own your data. You own your identity. You have a self-sovereign, universal login for the internet. 

Wayne Chang is a researcher, the co-author of the Sign in with Ethereum (SIWE) Standard, and the co-founder and CEO of Spruce, a company that is working to grow SIWE adoption to become the standard way to log into the internet. 

Chang believes that SIWE will lead to a more sovereign, decentralized, and free internet for the world. 

Crypto is known as a technology to separate money and state. Identity is no different. 

This podcast marks the beginning of the separation of identity and state.

Since founding Art Blocks in 2020, artist Erick Calderon (a.k.a. Snowfro) has been intrigued by the idea of representing digital artwork in the physical world in the form of an ephemeral physical object with meaning, but with no inherent value. 

Donald Judd has long been an inspiration for Art Blocks. One aspect we admire most about Judd’s artistic practice is the elegance of design he effortlessly paired with the accessibility of materials that could be found at a hardware store. With Judd as inspiration, we hatched a plan to create a unique generative art friendship bracelet that includes instructions to make, in minutes, a simple bracelet using a few dollars’ worth of embroidery floss. Donald Judd believed that what surrounds us in our day-to-day life is already so beautiful, and that ultimately the experience of creating art is as important as owning it.

Erick was incredibly excited to collaborate with renowned artist Alexis André (a.k.a. MacTuitui) to bring generative art and ephemeral physical objects together in the form of friendship bracelets. Conceptualized by Erick and aesthetically and programmatically designed by Alexis, this project pairs creative coding with a beautiful spectrum of embroidery floss colors. The project was a true team effort, as each member of the Art Blocks team designed and named their own color palette!

The project is a token of our appreciation to the creators, makers, builders, and collectors who have all contributed to making the Art Blocks community what it is today. Participating in this project is a signal, both online and IRL, that you’re a participant in this evolution of art + community. You are pushing the best ideas forward. You are the reason all of these imaginative projects come to life. Our community is what makes all of this possible. So, to say it plainly, we appreciate you, and we hope that you’ll accept this bracelet as a token of our special friendship!

The owner of any wallet with an Art Blocks piece at the time of snapshot (October 26, 2022, at 3pm US Central time) is eligible to claim two mints from this special generative art project. We would love to see you keep one bracelet and share your love for generative art by gifting your second mint! These mints are free to claim (you pay only the gas) and exist on L1 Ethereum. Please note that we may in the future release additional modified iterations of the Friendship Bracelets project, ideally on an L2 scaling solution, that may substantially increase the total supply of tokens related to the project, with the intent of being a more accessible entry point to a larger audience. But this version is what we're here to celebrate today, and this gift is for you in gratitude for your support along the way. Please enjoy this token of our friendship and explore the wonderful artwork created by Alexis André. Then, let's all make bracelets together! 

Warmly,
Alexis + Erick + the Art Blocks team



The claim window expires on January 10, 2023, at noon US Central time.
