How do you find an asset with 1000x asymmetric return? How do you find the next bitcoin? Our guest today is Dan Morehead, founder and managing director at Pantera Capital. He has been buying bitcoin since 2013 when the price was just $65. His fund is up over 100x since
then. There’s a lot to learn from Dan’s story, about early bitcoin history, but also the pattern recognition required to identify asymmetric assets. We cover price predictions, 4 year cycles vs a supercycle, how much upside is still in crypto, the trump administration and his thoughts on a strategic bitcoin reserve ------ 📣SPOTIFY PREMIUM RSS FEED | USE CODE: SPOTIFY24 https://bankless.cc/spotify-premium ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🐙KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2 🦄UNISWAP | BUG BOUNTY PROGRAM https://bankless.cc/Uniswap-Bug-Bounty ⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum 🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK https://bankless.cc/Mantle 📈 iYield: YOUR FINANCIAL PICTURE, SIMPLIFIED https://bankless.cc/iYield 🗣️TOKU | CRYPTO EMPLOYMENT https://bankless.cc/toku ------ ✨ Mint the episode on Zora ✨ https://zora.co/collect/base:0x4be6cd4d402fed49eb2de95fbc8e737e8ffd3e7f/1?referrer=0x077Fe9e96Aa9b20Bd36F1C6290f54F8717C5674E ------ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 6:00 The Email from 2013 14:15 Asymmetric Patterns 17:50 Buying Bitcoin in 2013 26:25 Onboarding Investors 32:12 Crypto's Global Adoption 37:15 Bitcoin's Escape Velocity 43:19 US Government Impact on Crypto 52:21 Global Bitcoin Race 56:14 Institutional Adoption for Crypto 1:04:37 Crypto Cycles 1:09:20 2025 Bull Market? 1:12:53 Macro Environment 1:16:50 Tokenization 1:21:18 Thoughts on AI 1:24:19 The Next Bitcoin 1:26:46 Future Plans 1:27:23 Closing & Disclaimers ------ RESOURCES Dan Morehead https://x.com/dan_pantera Pantera Capital https://panteracapital.com/ ------ Not financial or tax advice.

We should buy Bitcoin now at $65 from Dan Morehead. This email is dated July 5th, 2013. Your brief thoughts were, I'm going to buy 30,000 Bitcoins this weekend with personal money. The fund can have this purchase or not, as others which.

Ejaaz returns to break down the latest surge in AI Agent innovation alongside Ryan this week, covering the rapid evolution at the intersection of crypto and AI. They explore how AI agents are making onchain payments to each other, autonomously ordering real-world goods, and even running their own Ethereum validators.
They also dive into the new frameworks and partnerships—like ai16z’s collaboration with Stanford and Virtuals’ explosive growth—propelling these agents into cultural, economic, and infrastructural prominence. Will autonomous AI agents fundamentally reshape crypto market dynamics, creating new paradigms for value and coordination that spark unprecedented growth?

This week on the Weekly Rollup: Bitcoin briefly plunged to $93K amidst $1.1B in crypto liquidations, marking the largest single-day event since 2021, with $815M wiped from long positions alone. Meanwhile, Ethereum ETFs hit a record inflow day of $428M, and Layer 2 solutions like Mantle are driving the ecosystem
forward with nearly 1M ETH bridged to Base. On the regulatory front, the crypto world sees both challenges and opportunities as Trump appoints David Sacks as Crypto Czar while Microsoft shareholders reject Bitcoin on their balance sheet. With bullish predictions, such as Bitcoin reaching $250K, and major milestones like 1B unique crypto addresses, the crypto market continues its rollercoaster of volatility and growth. ------ 📣 DYDX | UNLIMITED ERA https://bankless.cc/dydx-unlimited ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🐙KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2 🦄UNISWAP | BUG BOUNTY PROGRAM https://bankless.cc/Uniswap-Bug-Bounty 🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK https://bankless.cc/Mantle 🐧 CARTESI | LINUX-POWERED ROLLUPS https://bankless.cc/CartesiSimple 📈 iYield: YOUR FINANCIAL PICTURE, SIMPLIFIED https://bankless.cc/iYield 🔒 SAFE | INTRODUCING SAFENET https://bankless.cc/SAFE ------ ✨ Mint the episode on Zora ✨ https://zora.co/collect/zora:0x0c294913a7596b427add7dcbd6d7bbfc7338d53f/113?referrer=0x077Fe9e96Aa9b20Bd36F1C6290f54F8717C5674E ------ TIMESTAMPS & RESOURCES 00:00:00 Trump On Bitcoin Reserve https://x.com/tftc21/status/1866895723410673988?s=46&t=2ZINVXJQKx6xO_6Wiiu_2g 00:03:43 MARKET https://x.com/QuintenFrancois/status/1866445089909653545 https://x.com/DegenerateNews/status/1866957840805409049 00:13:47 L2 Update https://x.com/jessepollak/status/1867047990843916334 https://dune.com/eekeyguy_eth/eth-supply-tracker 00:16:40 Bitcoin Reserve https://x.com/InvestorAsh/status/1866221541400219847 https://x.com/el33th4xor/status/1866255029033943551 00:27:06 Donald Trump appointed David Sacks as a Crypto and AI czar https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113603133222686186 https://x.com/BitcoinNewsCom/status/1864857461481422934. https://x.com/DavidSacks/status/1865199683087245405 00:32:26 CFTC Chair Rumors https://x.com/emiliemc/status/1866686542649102586?s=46&t=2ZINVXJQKx6xO_6Wiiu_2g 00:34:08 SEC - Crenshaw https://x.com/eleanorterrett/status/1866981517932822540?s=46&t=2ZINVXJQKx6xO_6Wiiu_2g https://x.com/brian_armstrong/status/1865913522670260680 https://x.com/masonlynaugh/status/1866877145902948483 00:39:52 Should Ethereum Pump The Gas https://x.com/dankrad/status/1863412876901306599 https://x.com/dankrad/status/1867078641118789787 https://x.com/drakefjustin/status/1865894859468427 00:44:44 MOVE Token https://x.com/movementfdn/status/1866093209719579011 00:46:00 Magic Eden https://x.com/MagicEden/status/1866483682367693227 https://mefoundation.com/ https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/magic-eden 00:46:37 Pudgy Airdrop https://x.com/pudgypenguins/status/1864851993094664602 https://nftpricefloor.com/pudgy-penguins 00:51:38 EtherRocks https://x.com/etherrock/status/1865480491773640830?s=46&t=2ZINVXJQKx6xO_6Wiiu_2g 00:53:30 Quantum Computing https://x.com/InvestorAsh/status/1866221541400219847 https://x.com/caprioleio/status/1866355221670302170 https://vitalik.eth.limo/general/2024/10/29/futures6.html https://x.com/el33th4xor/status/1866255029033943551 00:59:36 Stablecoin News https://x.com/jerallaire/status/1866733181728366593 https://defillama.com/stablecoins https://x.com/aave/status/1866127138820112562 https://x.com/defiignas/status/1866831563272712393 01:05:16 Meme Of The Week https://x.com/sherlock_hodles/status/1866557875671187912 ------ Not financial or tax advice.

Ejaaz is back with David to break down the latest in the explosive world of AI Agents. This week, they uncover how Truth Terminal’s roadmap could revolutionize autonomous on-chain transactions, why ai16z's Eliza framework is poised to reshape multi-chain agent deployment, and how zerebro’s creative push into music and art

Instead of just humans and agents directly interacting with each other, I actually think the end game is we just have a ton of agents interacting with each other, building new businesses, new apps, trading value through tokens with each other, and building net new products that we've never seen in the space before and that we've never seen in the world before, to be honest.

What is the role of AI in crypto, and how will it shape the future? AI agents are taking the crypto world by storm, introducing unprecedented scale and efficiency to Web3. At the center of this revolution is Shaw, the creator of the Eliza framework and ai16z DAO, a groundbreaking
initiative that’s reshaping decentralized investments. The ai16z DAO has rapidly gained traction, becoming the #1 trending GitHub repository last month, with over 3,300 stars and 880+ forks. In this episode, we explore how Shaw and his team are leading a community-driven, open-source movement to integrate AI and crypto. From managing DAOs to bridging Web3 with real-world applications, we dive into how the Eliza framework is setting the groundwork for a potential AGI future. This is more than just an AI experiment—it’s the beginning of a new paradigm for both industries. ------ 📣SPOTIFY PREMIUM RSS FEED | USE CODE: SPOTIFY24 https://bankless.cc/spotify-premium ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🐙KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2 🦄UNISWAP | BUG BOUNTY PROGRAM https://bankless.cc/Uniswap-Bug-Bounty 🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK https://bankless.cc/Mantle 🐧CARTESI | LINUX-POWERED ROLLUPS https://bankless.cc/CartesiSimple 📈iYield: YOUR FINANCIAL PICTURE, SIMPLIFIED https://bankless.cc/iYield 🔒SAFE | INTRODUCING SAFE NET https://bankless.cc/SAFE ------ ✨ Mint the episode on Zora ✨ https://zora.co/collect/zora:0x0c294913a7596b427add7dcbd6d7bbfc7338d53f/111?referrer=0x077Fe9e96Aa9b20Bd36F1C6290f54F8717C5674E ------ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 8:05 Who is Shaw & Eliza Framework 18:57 Goals of ai16z & Marc AIndreessen 25:47 AI Agent North Star 31:20 AI-Powered Contributors & Fixing DAOs 38:49 Degenspartanai vs. Marc AIndreessen 52:02 What is ai16z? 56:51 DAO Governance 1:00:34 Eliza Framework Story & Success 1:03:55 Advice to New AI Agent Builders 1:06:29 Other Top AI Agents 1:08:02 Agent Swarming & World Mind Explained 1:17:14 How & Where to Learn More 1:18:36 Closing & Disclaimers ------ RESOURCES Shaw https://x.com/shawmakesmagic David Hoffman https://x.com/TrustlessState Ejaaz Ahamadeen https://x.com/cryptopunk7213 ai16z dao https://www.daos.fun/HeLp6NuQkmYB4pYWo2zYs22mESHXPQYzXbB8n4V98jwC ai16z Github https://github.com/ai16z degenspartanai https://x.com/degenspartanai Marc AIndreessen https://x.com/pmairca ------ Not financial or tax advice.
