Invested in learning more about this industry, but this episode was a whiff. Same talking points from 2 years ago, similar to the talking points 4-5 years ago. No meaningful development in real-world use-cases beyond overstating the importance of tokenized securities. Remittances and blockchain games will not change the world. Digitized voting will not come to fruition. Interoperable blockchains are only useful if the underlying chains have use-cases beyond day-trading speculative assets. The discourse around regulation laments how the govt treated founders, but dismisses how much of the space was openly facilitating fraud, money laundering, and black-market trade. This industry will grow into something interesting, I just don't feel like we learned anything about that future here
It’s almost as if someone intentionally made Bitcoin useless as peer to peer cash by artificially limiting the block size therefore limiting real world usage.
I have to agree. I know it is hard to challenge in person but Josh brought up some points, but never really got challenge. So many years of crypto and we are faced with major negative issues (criminality, speculation) and so little positive issues. Doesn't mean that one day certain factors could be positive in the use of the blockchain and certain crypto currencies, but this is an extended adolescence.
Market told us these 2 BTC peaks first on election night, and then another record the night before inauguration exactly where the biggest Bitcoin catalyst is coming from, until another influence drives it to a new all- time high, thnx for the episode JB + guest👍btw not the top fr fr
One could argue that shares of stock are already "tokenized" as we don't trade paper shares anymore. And though at this point it's easier to buy and sell AAPL, one still needs money, an account with a broker, and either a telephone or a computer to place a trade. It you want to buy AAPL, anyone can do it with those items. That is not simplified with blockchain, it's identical to electronic transactions. Further, brokers no longer charge fees (some transactional ones do exist) for electronic trades, how could blockchain lower that cost or make the transaction "faster" than instant? I don't see it as a solution, but yet another complexity to an easy transaction.
Regarding ur sponcer....it takes 6 years for the average reactor to get builed, does the AI race have the time??? Renewables are intermittent?? Have you heard about long duration energy storage......looking at tesla energy division to get a taste of what it is and the market is addressing. But also look at others like Form and honeywell/ess flow battery technology.
Oh yes! Franklin said he was going to demonstrate the "value" of Crypto and blockchain. Announcer: "Sadly, Franklyn did not give the uses or value other than tax payer money make line go up"
Still not getting the benefits. Seems like a lot of infrastructure and waste of money for something that is working just fine right now. Risks seem just to high that all won’t go well for many. Are we going to have to bail them out? Is the oligarchy trying to control the currency?
I would love for blockchain to track public spending or voting. But what's left of the crypto party is over the year that brokerages have to start reporting realized gains. It will remain a thing for black markets, money laundering, and tax evasion... so I doubt it'll ever really go away.
TRUMP/VANCE GOD BLESS THEM! ALSO GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES! GREAT PODCAST Josh you call it the way it is. Keep up the great work. Tell Steve Weiss on CNBC to stop the hate on President Trump!
@eagle1ear I do not know any dictator in this country. In other countries such as Cuba and Venezuela yes but this is a free country. We have the right to speak and not be thrown in jail. God Bless all Americans and countries over the free world that have access to programing like this and free elections.

Amazing show!!! This is why I love you guys. My accounts are pretty simple now but when they get more complex I def plan to work with you all!!
David Sacks wrote the EO
Thanks guys. Very clear and well explained ideas. Very exciting
it was like 18 months ago SBF took crypto users for 8 billion! How far we’ve come!
Yeah and solana crashed to 10.00 and scared me out of it and now it's 200+😢😢😂
Crypto...astrology for bros.
I recommend Going Infinite by Michael Lewis to everyone curious in crypto
@ Better yet. I recommend Buffett’s and Munger’s comments on crypto.
Very blue sky disruption episode, loved it! Thanks Josh & Franklin
great guest, great conversation!
Still awaiting teh first crypto usecase outside of crime and money laundering
My favorire podcast, but crypto, i'm not even curious enough to listen. If you got rich from crypto, i'm happy for you.
Luke 12:48 To whom much is given, much is expected. The ancients knew it before Spider Man!

And, still somewhat before Spider Man: Noblesse Oblige (completely sabotaged by Corporate Capitalism, Oligarchs and the Tech Bro Cohort).
Crypto will always be around. SOL is the best crypto right now as it pays over 7% dividend and has potential multiple growth in the next 4 years.
Great convo and great guest!
Stop talking about crypto GARBAGE
Uhhh tokenization of real assets, like stocks without any regulations... Yeah that's what we really need.
Swing and a miss on this. Grifters gonna grift.

im so into cyipto im buying nft's on ftx im goin to the moon
lol
wow. JB...for reals? thought you despised this stuff...?
@@isiah675 we laughed at him? huh? relax
Crypto is pure speculation.
JPM wants “crypto” investors to work with them. Maybe having your CEO shit talk bitcoin for a decade is not such a great marketing strategy.
Deepseek just ripped off Nvidia's face and socked the M7 in mouth and my man's is talking bout crypto?! Whutt!?
Elon Musk 36% approval rating, methinks there is money to made here.

Tell Twitler to stop being such an arrogant, would be dictator.
