An anti-MEV activist spent weeks building 66 fake contracts to trap the sandwich bot jaredfromsubway.eth. Then jared's operators did the one thing nobody expected. ======================================================== Thank you to our sponsors!

Its first stated goal is solving a '15 minute finality problem' that none of the hosts can quite explain the point of. Kain Warwick, Taylor Monahan, and Luca Netz ask whether a breakaway staffed largely by ex-EF people can really escape the EF's habits, or just rebuild a smaller version of them.  Then the conversation turns to fomo's $75M raise from non-crypto VCs, and why a trading app that never calls itself a wallet may have cracked the onboarding flow the rest of crypto keeps getting wrong. The hosts also trace a CryptoPunks judge ordering a self-represented plaintiff to handwrite filings to stop the AI slop, the anti-MEV activist who trapped sandwich bot jaredfromsubway.eth with 66 fake contracts, and the WSJ's claim that Polymarket paid creators to stage fake winning bets.

Joe Lubin makes the bull case for Ethereum amid a sea of bearishness. The panel dissects Saylor selling Bitcoin for the first time in four years, the meaning behind 9 senior EF departures, Justin Drake's Q-Day call (50% by 2032), Manuel Araoz declaring all of DeFi unsafe, the ThorChain hack fallout, the Zama/Overnight Finance USDC freeze saga, and the CFTC greenlighting the first US perpetual futures product. Welcome to The Chopping Block — where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week Joe Lubin is stepping in to make the bull case for ETH on what he admits is a tough day to be bullish. We open on Strategy's first Bitcoin sale in four years and whether the STRC preferred stock structure is "an algorithmic stablecoin with too many steps," as Tarun puts it. Joe pivots to pitching Ether DATs, then we get into the Ethereum Foundation's brain drain -- nine researchers gone, CROPS as the new mandate, and a mysterious new developer organization taking shape behind the scenes. The episode's meatiest block covers DeFi security: Justin Drake warns Q-Day is 50% likely by 2032, Manuel Araoz says all of DeFi is unsafe, ThorChain's been offline for two weeks post-hack, and the panel debates whether we're entering a rough 12-24 months where attackers outrun defenders. We close on Hyperliquid's all-time highs and the CFTC opening the door to US perps.  Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pods, Fountain, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Amazon Music, or on your favorite podcast platform.

In this episode, Ethereum co-founder Joe Lubin breaks down his boldest move yet: launching SBET, a publicly traded ETH treasury vehicle modeled after Michael Saylor's Bitcoin playbook. From geopolitical shifts and stablecoin dominance to Ethereum's evolving value thesis, Joe lays out why ETH is becoming the backbone of the next financial era, and why now is the moment institutions are loading up.~~~~~

Shares of SharpLink Gaming (SBET) surged after the online gaming firm said it snapped up another 7,689 ether (ETH) for its corporate treasury. Other Ethereum treasury stocks are also exploding.~This episode is sponsored by Tangem~Tangem ➜ https://bit.ly/TangemPBNUse Code: "PBN" for Additional Discounts!00:00 Intro00:14 Sponsor: Tangem00:45 Sharplink closes market01:00 NASDAQ01:33 They bought more ETH too02:00 Joe Lubin hints at buying more Ethereum than expected02:36 Bit Digital turns into an ETH Maxi04:00 $BTCS: $100M in ETH05:12 MEGA-MERGER possible05:40 Joseph Lubin mentions BTCS on cnbc 07:05 Bitcoin Maxi's Shorting ETH?07:14 Staking skyrocketing07:50 Still early07:20 Microsoft08:50 ETH approaching all-time high transactions09:30 Fusaka upgrade incoming10:00 Eric Trump wall - Feb 3rd10:50 Vlad September11:13 OutroEthereum #Crypto #bitcoin~ETH Takes Over Wallstreet!

Recorded live at the Permissionless IV conference, this conversation dives into Ethereum's strategy to win over Wall Street. Danny Ryan discusses how Etherealize is advising financial institutions to leverage Ethereum's decentralization, resilience, and credible neutrality, while Joe Lubin explains why ConsenSys is taking a direct approach by accumulating ETH on Sharplink Gaming's balance sheet, similar to MicroStrategy with Bitcoin. Together, they unpack Ethereum's strengths, institutional adoption strategies, and what it will take for Ethereum to become the foundation of the next-generation financial system. ------

Joe Lubin returns to Bankless to break down his latest bold move—launching SBET, a publicly traded vehicle designed to accumulate and deploy Ether as a strategic treasury asset. We unpack whether Lubin is stepping into the Michael Saylor role for Ethereum, how SBET might outperform Bitcoin-backed models, and why ETH is poised for a monetary renaissance. From regulatory wins to Ethereum's evolving narrative on Wall Street, this episode explores how ETH can become a multi-trillion-dollar asset and a dominant store of value in the next economic supercycle. ------

“The U.S. is trying to disconnect from Ethereum," that's what Joe Lubin the CEO of Consensys said in today's conversation. He was talking about those in power trying to unplug Ethereum from the citizens. The SEC is going after Kraken, Coinbase, Uniswap and Metamask. They're trying to turn every non-custodial wallet into a broker-dealer. We brought on Joe Lubin, a crypto OG and CEO of Consensys the company behind a number of massive crypto projects including the popular Metamask wallet, and Matt Corva, the General Counsel at Consensys, leading the charge against the SEC  Joe and Matt are producing evidence that the SEC is coming after Ethereum itself. Sending discovery requests to Ethereum core developers, threatening their employers - pushing a coordinated effort to claim Ether is a security so they can control it. So Consensys is taking them to court to settle the issue. If they're successful it'll be the first time we get a clear court ruling that Ether is a commodity and not a security. ------

Steven Nerayoff is the creator of the utility token, ICO, security token, VC, and Cofounder of Ethereum. We discuss:- His role in Ethereum's ICO - Was Ethereum a security at ICO and is it one today - ETH ICO participants - SEC Gary Gensler's plan to coverup Bill Hinman's conflicts around Ethereum with Prometheum- Will an Ethereum ETF be approved - Joe Lubin, Vitalk Buterin, Charles Hoskinson, and Gavin Wood stories - Did JPMorgan participate in the ETH ico? - His Metaverse project

Listen to Bloomberg Crypto on the iHeartRadio App, Apple Podcasts or  Spotify. Last year, just before the crypto winter had hit in earnest, Princeton University opened up “The Center for the Decentralization of Power Through Blockchain Technology”. The Center was funded in part by a $20 million gift from prominent Princeton alumni including Mike Novogratz, CEO of Galaxy Investment Partners, and Joe Lubin, co-founder of the Ethereum crypto platform. The university says the Center focuses on the software engineering that makes blockchain technology work, finds innovative uses for decentralized systems and considers how it might affect our collective future. One year on, as the crypto winter persists, what's the Center up to these days?  Bloomberg reporter Francesca Maglione joins this episode to discuss the role universities are playing in studying blockchain.

Heya cryptozens Tonight's Stories: USDN Depegs UK Gov't Moves Toward Stablecoins Gensler Says You Need To Be Protected It's 10 PM Pacific time and the date is April 4th, 2022. And welcome back to the Crypto Overnighter. I am your host, Nick. The cover model for this podcast is Tex and together we take a nightly look at the crypto, nft and metaverse space and the industry that surrounds it. We bring you new stories on familiar topics. And keep in mind, nothing in this show should ever be considered financial advice.  Metamask Token. DId you hear about that? It seems Consensys, the owner of MetaMask, hit a valuation at the $7 billion mark. That's after they raised $450 million in their latest funding round. They're really making their mark as a major player in Web3. In a recent statement, ConsenSys talked about how MetaMask is used by many people for more than just hodling crypto. They collect NFTs, Join DAOs, maybe stake or lend or borrow from a DeFi protocol. They said the US, the Philippines, Brazil, Germany and Nigeria are some of the most active markets for MetaMask. Joe Lubin is the CEO of ConsenSys and co-founder of Ethereum. According to him, MetaMask is pushing quote “pregressive decentralization” and focusing on security and improving the kinda clunky interface. I mean really. “Expand view”? How does that have anything to do with the actual function? Anyway, they're also working on a DAO. Lubin said quote; There is a DAO that is being formed right now in the context of MetaMask. It will not own MetaMask, but it will enable the creation of new parts of MetaMask that can be funded. No further details were given, but it shows that MetaMask is planning on coming out with their own token. Those rumors may finally come true.

She has since gone on to co-found Serotonin, a web3 professional services firm and Mojito, an NFT infrastructure firm. Amanda is a former special projects editor for the Huffington Post and interned at the New Yorker magazine, and co-founded Slant in 2015, so we naturally dove deep into media revenue models and how web2 didn't quite get it right.

In our first episode of Signal, join Lex Sokolin in an interview with Ethereum Co-founder and ConsenSys CEO Joe Lubin about the beginnings of the crypto ecosystem, his experience with AI at Princeton, what he learned at Goldman Sachs, and how all these adventures shaped his vision today. Why are financial systems broken? What was it like to launch Ethereum? What is the relationship between collectivism and open-source? How can the banking world mesh with the next generation of financial infrastructure? We'll cover all these and more in our inaugural episode of Signal.

Hi Fintech Futurists, In this exciting conversation, we talk with none other than Joe Lubin of ConsenSys and Ethereum, about his journey from being exposed to advances in artificial intelligence at Princeton to becoming the household name in programmable blockchain. Additionally, we get an insider look into his founding of Ethereum and ConsenSys, and how the technology and individuals behind these two companies are transforming the very fabric of financial institutions that exist today and how new products/services are started for the betterment of humanity.

In this week’s episode we speak with Mike Novogratz, the CEO of Galaxy Digital. He started his career at Goldman Sachs and then led a macro hedge fund at Fortress, which was shuttered in 2015. He then went all-in on crypto, in part thanks to convincing from his college roommate Joe Lubin, and founded Galaxy Digital, an investment bank for digital assets. After grinding through the 2018 and 2019 bear market, Mike says he can finally breathe. He is convinced that Bitcoin is finally derisked. While Bitcoin is firmly established as digital gold, to him, Ethereum is a venture bet because it’s not totally finished yet. It's getting there, and so the bet is it's going to happen, not that it's happened. Novo is wildly bullish DeFi. He says the threat to the banking system and payments is DeFi, not Bitcoin. But that also means the big guys are going to fight back with lobbying and regulation because protocols like Uniswap and Aave are going after their business. About the hype and rally in the crypto market, Novo says this time it’s different. Unlike in 2017, he doesn’t believe we’re in a bubble. He says we’re in a movement.

Hi Fintech Futurists,Thinking about how to connect these worlds and different available journeys? Or the timeless risks developing in tranched DeFi that look like mortgage-backed securities? We even touch on hegelian dialectics! Check out our great conversation.For premium subscribers, a full transcript is provided along with the recording.Hope you enjoy, and do not hesitate to reach out here!ExcerptLex Sokolin:And then, when we look at DeFi, and what we see is, globally, lots and lots of hackers from scratch, building capital markets machinery, which is like the Linux of capital markets machinery. You can make any exposure you want and package it however you want. I feel like people just have to take a much more forgiving lens here. Ajit Tripathi:Lex, this is a fascinating topic because I come from the other side, so everything, capital markets, from pricing and risking, to some of the most exotic derivatives the world has ever seen in Tokyo. I come from the other side and for me, it was really frustrating that everyone in fintech were either doing payments or doing some kind of mobile app, not really changing much, if you ask me and I know you'll disagree with this, but it has always been very frustrating for me that the core capital markets infrastructure has remained unimpacted, more or less, by this whole fintech revolution and nobody has tried in the traditional, and I'm already saying traditional because it has been 10 years, nobody has even tried to revive the backend infrastructure. People are building it, yeah people are building apps, people haven't really tried to see how capital is distributed? How is wealth created?How do we allocate capital to applications far more efficiently? How do we make capital more efficient? How do we take the assets for the real world, whether gaming or art or whatever and how do we capture this? Finance doesn't exist in isolation. Capital markets make value, enable value to be monetized, distributed at scale and directed to relatively more efficient uses, and I think Joe Lubin saw this coming along ahead of most of us. Back in 2016, he was saying things like, Ethereum will help capital be directed to much more efficient uses, analog capital and so on. I didn't see that coming and for me, what DeFi really does is it starts to compliment fintech, it starts to build this whole backend infrastructure, the back office, the financial instrument creation, the lending, the market makers, the risk taking through derivative exchanges.

For one of two launch episodes for my new podcast Next with Novo, I called up my old college roommate and friend, the CEO of ConsenSys, co-founder of the Ethereum Project, and all-around crypto guru, Joe Lubin. I'm so glad to have been able to get Joe on the show to help kick off these conversations about what's new and what's next, the best & brightest minds behind the technologies powering permissionless innovation, with a focus on how cryptocurrency (Bitcoin, Ethereum, DeFi) is taking us into the future and rewriting our financial systems. Following his upbringing in Toronto and education at Princeton, Joe started noticing systemic issues in our political and economic structures and how equity is shared. He knew we needed a different future and decided he wanted to help build it. After reading a white paper from anonymous Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto, Joe went on to found the ConsenSys project, leading to the creation of Ethereum, the first cryptocurrency on the blockchain. Check out the episode to learn more from Joe about the past, present, and future of Ethereum, the banking industry's rapid moves in crypto, the hottest DeFi projects, and how cryptocurrency is bringing us an enlightened worldwide infrastructure that will change our entire way of life.

JPMorgan's deal with ConsenSys ushers the birth of the "ConsenSys Quorum" brand that offers interoperability with ConsenSys and Ethereum. Listen to ConsenSys CEO Joe Lubin explain to Forkast.News Editor-in-Chief Angie Lau how ConsenSys' acquisition of JPMorgan's Quorum will affect the blockchain ecosystem, his expectations of Ethereum 2.0 and the rise of DeFi.

Joe Lubin speaks about his vision for a decentralized world and the role Ethereum and ConsenSys play in it, what most people misunderstand about Ethereum, why it is hard to imagine what blockchain technology will do for us in 2025, why silos are coming to an end, how hierarchy and decentralization go together, what the blockchain space needs to become more trustworthy, which skills are relevant in the decentralized future, and what he would be doing if Ethereum and ConsenSys didn't exist.  Joe is the co-founder of Ethereum and the founder of ConsenSys, which is "a global formation of technologists and entrepreneurs building the infrastructure, applications, and practices that enable a decentralized world."  Joe Lubin: https://twitter.com/ethereumJoseph, https://www.linkedin.com/in/joseph-lubin-48406489/ Ethereum: https://ethereum.org, https://twitter.com/ethereum ConsenSys: https://new.consensys.net/, https://twitter.com/consensys  Also mentioned in the podcast: https://ujomusic.com/, https://twitter.com/ujomusic  Shownotes and transcript: https://theblockchainandus.com/joe-lubin To stay up to date about what blockchain pioneers, innovators and entrepreneurs from all around the world think about the future of this space, just go to www.theblockchainandus.com and sign up for the newsletter.

There is perhaps no firm that has done as much to promote the adoption of Ethereum as the dominant cryptocurrency platform for actual product development as Consensys. Founded by Ethereum Foundation co-founder Joe Lubin, Consensys has emerged as an investor, accelerator, educator and product developer in its own right in little more than three years that it has been in existence.

The most entertaining panel discussion so far @Consensus2018 was between Joe Lubin, Amber Baldet, and Jimmy Song.  Song met the panel with uninhibited skepticism over the "blockchain hype." We read David Floyd's article for details on what happened as a lead into the next quick read.  Link to David Floyd's article at Coindesk:https://www.coindesk.com/lubin-song-wager-bitcoin-blockchain-consensus/?utm_content=buffer432a3&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bitcoinaudible/message
