Magic Money: the mystical world of Anchor, Alchemix, and Gyroscope
In last week’s episode we ventured into the dark forest where nothing at all was what it seemed and unimaginable horrors lurked round every corner. Well this week we’re labouring the fantasy metaphor yet further with a languid lunge through illusion magic and scarcely credible financial finagling in what critics are already calling the David Blaine of crypto films.
Today, we're exploring the future of Uniswap, the world's leading decentralized exchange protocol, and why the recently announced V4 is significant, particularly in a bear market.
Since its V3 release, Uniswap has facilitated over $1.5 trillion in trading volume. And now, with the forthcoming V4, they're looking to revolutionize on-chain liquidity and token trading once again, so let’s dive in.

In this week’s Defiant podcast episode, I speak with Mark Cuban, Dallas Mavericks owner, billionaire investor and Shark Tank star —and Defiant subscriber :)
It’s been hard to pin down if Cuban is a crypto skeptic or believer. He has questioned the value of bitcoin and called its price surges a bubble, but he has also accepted crypto payments for his basketball team, and tweeted about using Aave and selling NFTs. You’ll have no doubt after listening to this interview where he stands: Cuban is a crypto bull, but more specifically a DeFi and Ethereum bull.
He says his general stance hasn’t really changed; he still believes bitcoin can’t be used as currency, but thinks its underlying narrative has strengthened, to become powerful enough to support it as a store of value.
But what he’s really excited about is smart contracts, which are allowing developers to make any decentralized application they can dream of, sparking innovation and compounding network effects, and most importantly, laying the foundation for what he calls “friction-free banking.”
Because most of this innovation is happening on Ethereum, he believes ETH is becoming a better story of value than BTC.
We talk about NFTs and how he believes they’ll be a game-changer, predicting digital collectibles will overtake the physical collectibles market. We also talk about DAOs, and he muses how much better Wall Street Bets would be if it was a blockchain-based forum where users could pool their tokens and invest together.
Cuban also goes over his takeaways after using DeFi dapps like Aave, and talks a bit about his portfolio, which right now holds more Bitcoin than Ether. But that may change. He says when there are pull backs, he’s buying more ETH, not BTC.

In this week’s episode I, speak with Nadya Tolokonnikova, one of the founding members of the feminist punk rock protest collective, Pussy Riot. Nadya has been protesting against the repression of individual freedoms in Russia since she was 17. She started Pussy Riot to focus on women and non-binary people as she noticed leadership would always fall on men. The group started performing in the streets of Moscow and were being repeatedly arrested for a few hours at a time, until one day in 2012, Nadya was put in jail for two years, for performing in a church. She believes art is a more effective vehicle for influencing hearts and minds than politics and that’s why she continues to perform. This year, she discovered she can use cryptocurrency and NFTs as tools to amplify her art, and coordinate people and capital on a global scale. Thanking our sponsors:

KYC and DeFi: an unsettling pairing that sends shivers down the spines of many in the world of crypto. And yet, last week it was seen on uniswaphooks.com. The discovery of community-created ‘hooks’ to enable KYC and whitelists for transactions on Uniswap V4 raised some eyebrows. Are we actually getting KYC checks in Uniswap? Let’s dig in.

Did ultrasound money turn into … infra-sound money? ETH has flipped back to inflationary for the first time since the Merge. Layer 2s have taken over transaction volumes. Users are abandoning the once prosperous land of Ethereum Layer 1 to seek cheaper, faster, and more exciting territories that may bring airdrops. Ethereum Layer 1 is now obsolete. or is it?

Another day another dump. And more bad news as the true picture of just how few clothes our beloved Emperors truly had. After Celsius now it’s Coinbase and 3 arrows capital to face the painful unveiling of their nether regions. Brian Armstrong painfully acknowledging massive layoffs and Su Zhu tacitly acknowledging that, yes, there is a situation. That’s today’s spiciness, the giants are falling, all bets are off, let’s do this.

NOTE: As you cruise along this series, you will notice how fast the DeFi space is; both in terms of execution and change. So if you happen to spot a discrepancy between what is being said and what is shown on screen, particularly in regards to numbers, it is due to the rapid nature of DeFi. Keep it in mind and have a look at the links provided below for the updated data.
At first glance, DeFi -- or decentralised finance, can appear a little intimidating to get started with. For those who feel lost or don't know where to begin, we've put together a series of 30 films that will gently place you into the world of DeFi and explain what it is, how it works, and where to get started. We will cover the basics, and a little extra, concisely as possible. It is up to you to take the leap of faith.
