CoinDesk Podcast Network - UNCHAINED: Three Crypto Pioneers on Crypto’s Monolithic vs. Modular Debate

Chris Burniske and two proponents of each approach discuss their different characteristics and relative benefits, and what will drive the next crypto bull cycle.

Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Pandora, Castbox, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or on your favorite podcast platform.

In this episode of Unchained, Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder of Solana Labs, Nick White, COO at Celestia, and Chris Burniske, partner at VC firm Placeholder discuss the differences between modular and monolithic, or integrated, blockchains, with Solana epitomizing the monolithic approach and Celestia the modular one. They all agree that both approaches have their merits and will likely coexist, but argue each lends itself to specific use cases and developer preferences. They also discuss what will drive the next crypto bull cycle, and each gives their best predictions for a specific development in the crypto industry in the next few years.

  • What drove Anatoly to prioritize speed in Solana's architecture and its impact on the network
  • What Celestia is and how it represents the first modular blockchain network
  • Whether developers and users will gravitate more towards modular or monolithic blockchains
  • How Solana, as one of the fastest blockchains, is gearing up to handle massive usage and scalability

  • Whether there's potential for Solana to transition into a modular blockchain in the future
  • Why Chris believes that the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) might surpass the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) in user adoption
  • What challenges Bitcoin faces in developing actual Layer 2 solutions, especially considering its "doomers storage" issue
  • What could drive the next crypto bull market

CoinDesk Podcast Network - UNCHAINED: Arthur Hayes on Why Bitcoin Is Money and ETH Is a Sh*tcoin He Loves

Arthur Hayes, Chief Investment Officer of Maelstrom, delves into the anticipated bull run in crypto, the potential collapse of the traditional financial system, and his unique take on Bitcoin, Ethereum, sh*tcoins, and more. 


Take the Unchained 2023 survey!

Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Pandora, Castbox, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or on your favorite podcast platform.

As 2023 nears its end, the crypto community is abuzz with speculation: will the relentless crypto winter give way in 2024? Crypto OG Arthur Hayes is confident that crypto is on an upswing. According to Hayes, these market cycles are historically recurrent, indicating a potential bull run in the near future. 

In this episode, Hayes offers his insights on a range of compelling topics, from what he believes will be a resurgence of central bank money printing between 2024 and 2027 to the effect spot Bitcoin ETFs will have on crypto markets. 

He also shares his views on the post-FTX blockchain landscape, the dynamics of Ethereum and meme-coins, and why he thinks Tether won’t last. 

Show highlights:

  • Why Arthur believes that central banks across the globe might resort to printing money again between 2024 and 2027
  • Why he's anticipating a bull run in the crypto market within the next year
  • Whether the financial system established post-World War II is on the verge of a breakdown
  • What Arthur recommends investors should do in the event of a spot Bitcoin ETF launch
  • Why he is confident that the launch of a Bitcoin ETF won't immediately lead to a massive surge in prices
  • How, according to Arthur, the collapse of FTX actually validated the resilience of the blockchain ecosystem
  • Whether the DCG crisis is likely to have a far-reaching impact on the crypto industry
  • Why Arthur maintains a bullish stance on ETH and the Ethereum ecosystem, despite labeling it a “shitcoin”
  • Whether he sees the use of the Bitcoin blockchain for trading memecoins (BRC-20s) as problematic
  • Why Arthur thinks Tether's dominance will be challenged with the entry of major U.S. banks into the stablecoin market
  • Why he firmly believes that AI systems will favor Bitcoin over traditional forms of money
  • Why, in Arthur's view, China may not aim to become the issuer of the global reserve currency
  • The investment strategy of Arthur’s family office, Maelstrom
