Despite the ups and downs of the Ethereum ecosystem, two of its most influential builders—Aave's Stani Kulechov and Sky's Rune Christensen—remain bullish. In this episode, they discuss whether we're witnessing a DeFi renaissance, the challenges of building on Ethereum vs. Solana, and why DeFi adoption isn't growing as fast as some expected. They debate stablecoins, whether Solana is truly innovating, and how AI could transform DeFi by automating governance and risk management. They also respond to some hot takes—including whether Aave is falling behind Solana-based Kamino, and why Sky deployed its USDS stablecoin on Solana despite Rune's long-standing Ethereum advocacy.

In today's episode Qiao joins us to check in on the current stage of the crypto market cycle. Qiao shares why the lack of celebration signals a fundamental shift in market psychology as evidence by the rampant growth of AI and memes. The conversation then explores how BRICS nations may be secretly accumulating Bitcoin ahead of US policy changes, and why March 2024 could mark a local top. Qiao breaks down why AI agents in crypto are primarily a narrative trade for now, and explains how Hyperliquid's unique approach to token launches could reshape the industry.

AI is exploding into every facet of the internet. The convergence of Crypto and AI is inevitable, and we bring on Qiao Wang and Mohamed Fouda to discuss the opportunities and challenges this presents. They explore why Web3 provides an interesting platform for AI, such as payment and execution rails for AI agents, easy access to financial tools, and the ability to commission resources permissionlessly. One example of this is AutoGPT, which uses AI to generate code for on-chain smart contracts. How do we balance caution and optimism? How can we surf this tidal wave of innovation and new frontiers? ------

Guests:Lyn Alden (twitter.com/lynaldencontact)Qiao Wang (twitter.com/qwqiao)Host:Richard Yan (twitter.com/gentso09)Today's motion is “Ethereum is too early for institutional money.”Quite a few institutions have voted with their feet on Bitcoin. This ranges from corporate treasuries to money managers. At what point will Ethereum catch the attention of non-crypto native capital allocators? Our debaters today are Lyn Alden and Qiao Wang, both well known in crypto circles. Lyn wrote a well-researched article arguing that from an institutional perspective, Ethereum feels like an unfinished product and isn't likely to pick up significant interest in the short run. Qiao has been looking at Ethereum as an investment in its early days, and it's fair to say he has been a perma-bull. If you're into crypto and like to hear two sides of the story, be sure to also check out our previous episodes. We've featured some of the best known thinkers in the crypto space.By the way, we're planning episodes on CBDC, centralized lending versus de-centralized lending, the fad of NFT or non-fungible tokens, whether Bitcoin is good for America and whether Bitcoin is good for the environment.So if you're interested or know someone that would be interested in debating, please feel free to DM me at @blockdebate on Twitter.

Guests:Jonathan "JP" Padilla (@JPadillaCA)Nick White (@nickwh8te)Host:Richard Yan (@gentso09)Today's motion is “I largely approve the US government's fiscal and monetary response to the ongoing economic crisis.” We recently had another debate on a similar topic, between Qiao Wang and Jimmy Song. While Qiao argued for the pro-establishment view, he still saw lots of issues with the government's intervention in the markets. In the debate, Qiao was playing the role of a devil's advocate, to help the crypto community understand the pro-intervention perspective. In today's debate, however, the pro-intervention guest (Jonathan "JP" Padilla) is a Kenseyan, has worked for the Whitehouse, and is very supportive of the government actions during the ongoing crisis. The anti-intervention guest (Nick White) today is also not a hard-core libertarian like Jimmy from the previous debate. So today's debate is more consensus-building than that previous debate.Be sure to also check out our previous episodes too.

Guests:Qiao Wang (@qwqiao)Jimmy Song (@jimmysong)Host:Richard Yan (@gentso09)We all know the dominant crypto-native perspective on corporate/Wall Street bailouts — as generally anti-intervention, both fiscally and monetarily. But it's important to hear the other side, if only to kick the tires of your own beliefs. After all, many smart people embrace a statist, big government view, in how to run an economy.In this debate, we covered many topics, including the following:A way to think about corporate bailouts as claims on a social insurance policy, with an analogy in social security and MedicareHow the monetary policies are worsening the wealth gap by giving a disproportionate advantage to the rich not enjoyed by the poor Whether FDR's intervention policies were instrumental in lifting the nation out of the Great Depression, or this was just revisionist economic history, with these policies accomplishing the opposite or having tepid effects at bestOur two knowledgeable guests are both in the crypto circle, but come from very different backgrounds. One used to be a Wall Street trader and is a finance buff. The other is a bitcoin maximalist and an unapologetic libertarian. Be sure to also check out our previous episodes too. We've featured some of the best known thinkers in the crypto space. And it was great to have a few no-coiners on. I always appreciate their agreeing to do the show, and adding perspectives to what sometimes seem like an echo chamber.If you would like to debate or want to nominate someone, please DM me at @blockdebate on Twitter.Please note that nothing in our podcast should be construed as financial advice.Source of select items discussed in the debate:Change in unemployment and GDP during the Great Depression: https://www.thebalance.com/unemployment-rate-by-year-3305506The Forgotten Depression (1921) by James Grant: https://www.forbes.com/sites/nathanlewis/2017/02/23/james-grant-explains-how-a-crash-in-1921-cured-itself-with-the-help-of-good-policy/#3feb9a1dbd86Qiao's Messari articles (paywall): https://messari.io/article/how-will-the-recession-impact-crypto-theses-questions-and-lessonsJimmy Song's Programming Bitcoin book: https://programmingbitcoin.com/America's Great Depression by Murray Rothbard: https://www.amazon.com/Americas-Great-Depression-Murray-Rothbard/dp/1607960656
