This week, Ryan and David dive into crypto's dramatic new re-prioritization (pivot?) as Ethereum is shifting rapidly, prioritizing Layer 1 scaling in a move that has sparked intense community debate. Meanwhile, macro turmoil hits crypto with a looming tariff-driven recession and signs of American capital flight shaking global markets. Bitcoin tightens its grip on Washington, cementing itself as digital gold in the eyes of the Trump administration, and Worldcoin launches a U.S. rollout amid rising fears of an AI-driven dystopia. Plus, Sui surges on wild Pokémon rumors, Ripple's bold move to buy Circle gets rejected, and Monero rockets after a massive Bitcoin hack. Is crypto entering a new golden age, or are these the early tremors of deeper uncertainty? Find out on this week's must-watch Weekly Rollup. ------

In this week's episode, CoinDesk's Christine Kim and Consensys' Ben Edgington chat with the CEO and founder of Allnodes, Konstantin Boyko-Romanovsky. Allnodes is a blockchain node hosting, monitoring and staking service supporting over 25 cryptocurrency networks. This episode is sponsored by PumaPay.io.Among the networks for which Allnodes provides hosting services, Boyko-Romanovsky said, the set up for validator nodes on Ethereum 2.0 was by far “the most stressful.” “Ethereum 2.0 is like playing Diablo in nightmare mode. I didn't sleep well for two months when Ethereum [2.0] was launched because there is a risk of slashing,” said Boyko-Romanovsky.The risk of slashing, or getting penalized, on Eth 2.0 is greater for staking-as-a-service platforms like Allnodes than for individual users. According to Edgington, this is by design in order to encourage network decentralization. “The Ethereum [2.0] protocol was not designed with staking services in mind. It was very much designed for individual stakers,” he said. “It is deliberately not supposed to be easy for [staking] services.” Even so, Edgington noted that among staking services Allnodes consistently operates the best-performing Eth 2.0 validator nodes in terms of rewards earned. While Boyko-Romanovsky attributed most of that success to “luck,” he also noted that using a single Eth 2.0 software client, Teku, and investing time into understanding Teku enabled him and his team to make “improvements” to their validator set-up based on their knowledge.The trio also discussed the downfall of decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol Iron Finance and Mark Cuban's call for action from U.S regulators in light of the fiasco. To listen to the full discussion, check out this week's episode of “Mapping Out Eth 2.0.” Links mentioned in this podcast:CoinDesk article about Iron Finance token price crash (https://www.coindesk.com/iron-finance-says-it-suffered-cryptos-first-large-scale-bank-run-in-token-crash-postmortem)Iron Finance blog post (https://ironfinance.medium.com/iron-finance-post-mortem-17-june-2021-6a4e9ccf23f5)Mark Cuban's statement in Bloomberg (https://twitter.com/TheStalwart/status/1405536487630798859/photo/1) -750,000,000 PMA tokens are now up for grabs.

What's the word on Nodes and how should we be using and interacting with them? What is coinjoin, will there be a 2 tiered market price for KYC v Non-KYC'd #Bitcoin in the future? What sectors has "Rona" sped up, where will the future be shaped and what makes @Matt_odell hopeful for the future? Is Matt going to be able to stay humble through the next bull run, or are we allowed to cross the blurred line and celebrate some vindication and dunk on some of the deniers that have hassled us through the long winter!? What the hell is #DEFI, 'yield farming' and why should we stay the well away from it? A massive thank you to @Matt_odell for taking the time to create this episode!

This episode will be a lot easier if following along with the tweet thread, which is here: https://twitter.com/crypto_voices/status/1227949623362379778?s=20 Or, you can also follow along with the exhibits here: cryptovoices.com/basemoney Bottom line: Bitcoin is currently the #9th largest base money in the fiat world. Bitcoin is currently the #11th largest base money in the fiat world, including past base monies gold & silver. Bitcoin is unquestionably unlike anything else in the (financial) world. However, if you are going to try and compare Bitcoin's supply with other supply curves in the financial world, don't. The only money supply you can compare it to is fiat's "Monetary Base," or "Base Money." Firstly, something needs to be used as a medium of exchange to technically be called "money." Gold and silver used to be. Fiat is now. Bitcoin very well could be. But don't get carried away. We need to compare bitcoin (and gold... and silver) to fiat's "base money" supply, and *only* to the base money supply. M1/M2/M3 and all others simply aren't comparable. Why? Because those supplies include "claims" on base money. In this episode, we review the 2019Q4 tweet thread in depth, covering: 1) Some of the economic, seismic changes of China and India; 2) What reserve balances really are, and how we economically look at them; 3) What other bank balances economically are (we are the creditors, banks are the debtors); 4) The methodological changes we've made with gold and silver, from using "all-time" gold and silver mined ounces, to using estimated, liquid gold and silver outstanding ounces (bullion plus jewelry); 5) The deeper meaning behind mainstream journalism's economic assumptions, views, and narratives pushed, versus their effort in actually providing well-thought data to their audience.

Jonathan Levin, the cofounder and chief strategy officer of Chainalysis, describes how the blockchain analytics firm helped the IRS identify the administrator of the largest child porn website in the world, which ultimately led to the arrest of the administrator, Jong Woo Son, and 337 site users across 38 countries. The work also led to the rescue of 23 minors from their abusers. He describes how the site used Bitcoin, how they used Bitcoin transactions to identify the users of the site, and how law enforcement worked with exchanges. We also discuss what impact privacy technologies could have on similar investigations going forward, as well as Levin's perspective on the overall utility of Bitcoin despite it being used for illicit activity.

After a major darkweb site was shut down and exposed due to Bitcoin transaction trails, the crypto community began to debate the privacy of Bitcoin. First, let's discuss the privacy of Bitcoin and that pseudo-anonymous does NOT equal anonymous. Let's also dive into whether or not the "lack of privacy" will have long-term implications for the success of Bitcoin.

The cryptocurrency party is over. Bitcoin tumbled to a 13-month low this week, fueling a sell-off among rival tokens. David Meyers speaks with Bloomberg's Joe Weisenthal on the backstory of the crypto craze and where it goes from here.  FOLLOW UP Joe's latest report: A Former Blockchain Believer Explains Why It Will Never Benefit Corporations You can follow Joe at: @TheStalwart  ---- TicToc is a daily news podcast hosted by David Meyers (@davidfmeyers), produced at Bloomberg Worldwide HQ in New York City.

Joe Weisenthal is the executive editor of news for Bloomberg Digital and the co-host of What’d You Miss? and Odd Lots. "If I don’t say yes to this, then I can never say yes to anything again. Because when else am I going to get a chance in life to co-host a tv show? Even if it’s terrible, and I’m terrible at it, and it’s cancelled after three months, and everyone thinks it’s awful, for the rest of my life, I’ll be able to say I co-hosted a cable TV show.

In our newest conversation on Bespokecast, we speak with Bloomberg Markets Managing Editor Joe Weisenthal. Joe is a living clearinghouse for information and news on financial markets, with a huge presence on Twitter, the Odd Lots podcast co-hosted with Tracy Alloway, and a daily show on Bloomberg TV (What Did You Miss?). He's been on the forefront of financial media since the mid-2000s, starting TheStalwart.com before joining Business Insider early in that company's ascent in the digital media space. Joe has a fascinating perspective on markets and the media that cover them. In our hour-long conversation, we cover a range of topics, including his career path, how he thinks about the modern media landscape, the disconnect between accepted wisdom and actual events this year, and how becoming a father has impacted his career. We had a lot of fun recording this conversation and we hope you enjoy it!
