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.

MAJOR
major-ethereum-rebellion-will-fail
Good morning and yes, it’s me again, the ‘new guy’. Robin’s gone underground after one too many Tornado Cash transactions and, well, this one couldn’t wait. And that’s because The Merge is upon us. It’s happening. Finally. And with a ‘soft date’ of September 19th floating around, we really could be as few as 5 weeks away from the biggest, baddest, the most dangerous, and hotly anticipated event in blockchain history: the coming together of the proof of stake Beacon Chain - the consensus Layer - with the Ethereum Mainnet, the execution layer.

CHAIN
chainswap-+-anyswap-hacked.-what's-up
Chainswap exploited, anyswap exploited, Geth reorgs. Last week was characterised by code level shenanigans, most of which are completely incomprehensible. But let’s see if we can unpack it for you. What better way to cast off the hangover of yet another England penalty loss.

US CR

We're catching up with some of the most knowledgable names on the regulatory scene for crypto in the US with Jake Chervinsky, Kristin Smith and Rebecca Rettig at a time when the stakes have rarely been higher.
A tax bill which would put cryptocurrency miners and developers under crushing pressure has just passed the US Senate. We'll chat about what this means for the industry and how to move forward from here.

BITCO
bitcoin-etf-explained-what's-next
Today’s the day. 18th October 2021. The day the Bitcoin ETF meme finally shrugs off its moon boots and becomes the beautiful gem of pure fact it has for so long threatened to become. Yes. It’s happening. Well… actually. It hasn’t happened yet and it might still not. So if you’re struggling to split your Invesco from your Proshares from your Genslers then this Monday quick take might be just what’s required to pep up the morning’s coffee.

NO LI
no-liquidation,-squared-leverage!
Squeeth is short for Squared Eth. It's a new power perpetual from Opyn allowing users to benefit from convexity when going long ETH. Long squeeth (ETH²) gives you a leveraged position with unlimited upside, protected downside, and no liquidations. Compared to a 2x leveraged position, you make more when ETH goes up and lose less when ETH goes down (excluding funding). Eg. If ETH goes up 5x, squeeth goes up 25x. You pay a funding rate for this position. There's also a Short Eth option as well as automated strategies to help take some of the pain out of managing your positions.
WARNING: Squeeth is not suited to long-term HODL, it's best used for short term plays.
