Hey bankless nation welcome to another state of the nation guess what David it's merge

week it's finally here we're talking to Justin Drake on merge week and we're talking

about some bad teeth takes 15 bad teeth takes we're gonna give him to you it was probably

a year ago a year and a half ago when Justin Drake dropped the legendary ultra sound

eath episode ultra sound money episode on bankless and since that time I guess headed

into this monumentous week of the merge there've been a lot of takes about that episode

some good takes some not so good takes and I think Justin is here to talk about some

the bad takes and clear some misconceptions about ultrasound money what are we in store

for today David yeah it seems to be impossible for people outside of the Ethereum ecosystem

to produce good takes about the Ethereum ecosystem and I'll say that knowing full knowingly

that I'm biased towards the Ethereum ecosystem but there's just some real low hanging fruit out

there as well as also some good nuanced arguments about some classic bad teeth takes so some

conversations that we're going to be going to get again again into is like the rich get richer

which is a very common take you hear about proof of stake so we're going to talk about that also

Ethereum is trying to do everything all at once and it's also being bad because it's

having to split its attention into so many different categories as well as like unpredictable

supply deflation bad it's a security etc etc etc some very common takes that you've heard

around the cryptosphere we're going to take them one by one and go through 15 of the baddest

east takes that you've ever heard all right you're ready for the countdown Justin Drake dropping

some bad eath takes I thought this was impossible but I guess he's refuting them also since

it's merge week of course we want to remind you our friends at consensus have sponsored this

and they want to let you know that they are going to be launching a commemorative NFT coincident
