John LilicGUEST
So basically I moved from wall street to Brooklyn, uh, And I started working for Joe.
John LilicGUEST
I spent six years at ConsenSys, very intensely focused on trying to help build the Ethereum ecosystem.
John LilicGUEST
I left ConsenSys at the end of 2020 and helped lead the transition from Matic to Polygon.
John LilicGUEST
I spent a couple of years there.
John LilicGUEST
I launched my own venture fund around the same time.
Chris JourdanHOST
Um, but it wasn't, it wasn't just...
Chris JourdanHOST
I mean, Michael K, MetaMask, Consensys, like, t-talks about security as much as anyone in the space.
Chris JourdanHOST

Jeremy PopielarzHOST
is fanon top 12 for you i i forgot before we hopped on
Tyler OrginskiHOST
yeah fanon is currently sitting at 14 overall for me so um i got mayor andrews juan johnson kittle likely kelsey in front of them so You know, I was a little lower on Fanon than ConsenSys heading into the season, and I think the reasons I was lower is exactly this.
Tyler OrginskiHOST
Dog water offense, and there's just more mouths to feed, and that's exactly what they did.
Tyler OrginskiHOST
Three targets for Fanon, but, you know, they're getting four to Judy, five to Concepcion, four to Boston, a couple to the running backs.
Stacy SimsGUEST
So I think that we've lost this kind of autonomy because we've been pushed down the data route, and now more and more, we're seeing AI come up, and AI is just an echo chamber of male algorithms and male data as well.
Stacy SimsGUEST
Right? And it's like someone goes to ConsenSys, or maybe they go to Claude, and, "I'm having all these issues, and what's going on?" It spits out misinformation, old research data, or information that's viewed through a male lens that's still not true for the woman's body.
Stacy SimsGUEST
I like playing with Claude and saying, "You're wrong.
Stacy SimsGUEST
You're incorrect." And then it's like, "Oh, yes, you're right.
Adam McBrideHOST
I don't still think it's ever gonna happen.
Adam McBrideHOST
I was reminded of MetaMask the other day 'cause I don't know if you saw, but ConsenSys rebranded themselves as MetaMask [laughs] which is great, you know? And, um, you know, all the comments are just like, "When airdrop, bro?" And, you know, I don't know.
Adam McBrideHOST
It's, it's-- The, the stockification of crypto this cycle is kind of hilarious.
Adam McBrideHOST
We were talking about it offline, how it doesn't really work.
Tim OttingerGUEST
So by the way, here's another AI use.
Tim OttingerGUEST
Go to ConsenSys, ask what, what studies do we have? What are the authoritative papers on such and such a topic? Weed them down to the ones that seem to make a lot of sense to you.
Tim OttingerGUEST
Bring those down.
Tim OttingerGUEST
Actually go through them.
Pet BerishaHOST
More interesting raises.
Pet BerishaHOST
Uh, ConsenSys splits MetaMask from institutional and Ethereum infrastructure businesses.
Pet BerishaHOST
Jack Dorsey's Block joins a rush for federal bank charters from the OCC.
Pet BerishaHOST
And as Cyril alluded to, Hunter Biden launched a meme coin called Laptop on Base.
Ryan Sean AdamsHOST
to lose.
Ryan Sean AdamsHOST
MetaMask is spinning out of ConsenSys, which is interesting.
Ryan Sean AdamsHOST
MetaMask, of course, was part of ConsenSys.
Ryan Sean AdamsHOST
ConsenSys, kind of an early Ethereum conglomerate, but they had an enterprise structure with their L2, Linnea, Bezu, all their institutional products.
Ryan Sean AdamsHOST
And then they also had this wallet, which is the MetaMask wallet, they are now splitting those two things into separate entities.
Ryan Sean AdamsHOST
So MetaMask is now off on its own.
David HoffmanHOST
IPO?
Ryan Sean AdamsHOST
I don't know.
Guillen LangHOST
Payward pushed its own listing back to 2027 only nine days ago, so a stock exchange has now bought into the firm that wants to trade its listings around the clock.
Guillen LangHOST
Consensus also split into two while we were away, with Metamask becoming a standalone company under Joe Lubin and the infrastructure business keeping the Consensus name.
Guillen LangHOST
Tether moved into private credit, anchoring a $400 million fund with Fensara Capital and targeting $3 billion.
Guillen LangHOST
And Germany drafted a bill to tax crypto, like shares, at about 26.4% from 2027, ending its tax-free 12-month rule, though existing holdings are grandfathered.
Derrick BrozeGUEST
And so as the space kind of shifted more towards like around the block wars and stuff, shifted towards the focus on it as digital gold, that really shifted away from what I believed its main value was.
Derrick BrozeGUEST
Like you said, what is the value it can provide for me? The value it could provide for me was to be a functional alternative currency to government's money and if that is not really what it's about and obviously i can still use that individually but the the mindset like for example i've been to bitcoin conferences in the last couple years to do reporting and by and large they're way bigger than they used to be of course Like I went to ConsenSys and Bitcoin Nashville and these others where Trump's there.
Derrick BrozeGUEST
Of course, there's a lot of people, I would say 90 to 95%, maybe 98% of the people there have no idea of Bitcoin's potentially revolutionary history.
Derrick BrozeGUEST
They're just hearing about how they should put some money in and use it as an investment, treat it like a stock.
