97 - The Bull Case For ETH III | Anthony Sassano, DC Investor, Cyrus Younessi

<p>Anthony Sassano, DC Investor, and Cyrus Younessi return to Bankless to complete the Bull Case for Ethereum Trilogy. Comparing this episode with the previous two Bull Cases, we can see what has held up so far and what we have to look forward to in 2022.</p> <p>Spoiler: these guys have gotten a lot of things right.</p> <p>Covering topics like the meteoric rise of NFTs, the BTC Flippening, and Ethereum Maximalism, there remains much to be incredibly excited about as we close out a historic 2021. While macro conditions remain uncertain, the conditions of the crypto markets and ecosystems are perhaps surprisingly more digestible.</p> <p>With the Proof-of-Stake merge on the way and the modular blockchain thesis taking shape, the inevitable conclusion is that ETH is destined to go up.</p> <p>What’s 2022 going to look like? No one knows for sure, but this episode left us feeling incredibly bullish.</p> <p>------<br /> 📣 HASHFLOW | POOL & TRADE OTC<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Hashflow">https://bankless.cc/Hashflow</a> </p> <p>------<br /> BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS:</p> <p>⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum">https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum</a> </p> <p>🍵 MATCHA | DECENTRALIZED EXCHANGE AGGREGATOR<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Matcha">https://bankless.cc/Matcha</a> </p> <p>🔐 LEDGER | SECURE YOUR ASSETS<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Ledger">https://bankless.cc/Ledger</a> </p> <p>🧙‍♀️ ALCHEMIX | SELF-PAYING LOANS<br /> <a href= "http://bankless.cc/Alchemix">http://bankless.cc/Alchemix</a> <br /> ------</p> <p>Topics Covered:</p> <p>0:00 Intro<br /> 5:45 Recapping the Prequels<br /> 10:21 Crypto in 2021<br /> 17:09 Narratives and Scaling<br /> 23:21 The Cultural Asset Layer<br /> 27:57 Core Value Pillars<br /> 35:34 Do the People Know?<br /> 40:24 PoS and Monetary Policy<br /> 46:45 Bullish APY<br /> 52:52 The Merge and Price<br /> 57:12 Users & Gas Fees<br /> 1:05:59 Layer 1s & Modular Blockchains<br /> 1:09:40 Extreme Decentralization<br /> 1:12:15 Chains that Care<br
