How ETH Wins | Ryan & David

Ryan and David reunite on Bankless Takes with a big question: What must Ethereum do to win? Ryan champions a memetic and cultural shift, calling for ETH maximalism and nationalism to reignite belief in ETH as a monetary asset. David brings a product-driven roadmap, urging Ethereum to strengthen its L1 as the economic hub of the internet. Together, they explore a vision for a unified Ethereum that can scale, coordinate, and ultimately win. This isn’t just a talk—it’s a strategy session for Ethereum’s future. ------ https://bankless.cc/spotify-premium ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🪙FRAX | SELF SUFFICIENT DeFi https://bankless.cc/Frax 🦄UNISWAP | SWAP ON UNICHAIN https://bankless.cc/unichain 🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK https://bankless.cc/Mantle 🌐SELF | PROVE YOUR SELF https://bankless.cc/Self 🟠HEMI | BTC & ETH, ONE NETWORK https://bankless.cc/hemi ------ TIMESTAMPS & RESOURCES 0:00 Intro 3:21 Job’s Not Finished 10:11 A Call for Maximalism 13:10 Blue-Money Gospel https://x.com/RyanSAdams/status/1915874994514452763 25:23 Restoring ETH’s Product-Money Feedback Loop https://www.bankless.com/read/restoring-eths-product-money-feedback-loop 46:58 Towards a United Chains of Ethereum https://x.com/RyanSAdams/status/1917298612540739931 https://x.com/Spire_Labs/status/1915430799618564394 https://l2beat.com/scaling/summary 1:05:43 ETH—Commodity Money Backed by an Economy https://x.com/RyanSAdams/status/1918065179725570536 1:08:59 Rethinking Our Messaging 1:14:49 Can Ethereum Still Win? 1:19:22 Closing & Disclaimers ------ Not financial or tax advice.
