Tools from our sponsors to go bankless:

Joey Krug was doing DeFi before they called it DeFi. He's the co-founder of Augur, an investor at Pantera, an early supporter of Ethereum. 

What did we cover? Ethereum, Oracles, DeFi, Bitcoin, Chainlink, Ampleforth, Memes, Risk, Triple Point Asset, YFI, Scaling...what didn't we cover!

After the convo, Joey said we asked the best questions of any podcast he's been on. Maybe it felt that way because we we're speaking the same language: this DeFi is eating the world. 

This is Investing in DeFi with Joey Krug. 

We cover:

  • Joey's investment thesis for crypto
  • How to invest in DeFi
  • Yield farming a gimmick?
  • Is AMPL for real?
  • DeFi oracles (and ChainLink!)
  • Excited about Augur v2?
  • A 100 Gwei world
  • Is ETH a triple point asset?
  • BTC or ETH?
  • The next DeFi hack

Join us next Monday for a fresh episode!

Welcome to Dless, where we explore the frontier of Internet money and Internet

0:18.0

Finance. This is how to get started, how to get better, and how to front run the

0:21.7

opportunity. This is Ryan Sean Adams. I'm here with David Hoffman and we're here to help you become more bankless. David, how are you doing today, sir?

0:31.1

Doing just fantastic, Ryan. We had Joey Krug on the Bankless

0:35.2

podcast. For those that don't know, Joey is the founder of the Auger

0:39.7

Protocol, but even before that Joey was a member of the Bankless community before the

0:44.8

Bankless community was a community and so it was really exciting to get him on the

0:49.4

podcast because not only is he a builder in the defy space but not only is he a

0:55.0

defy builder but he's just totally multi-disciplinary.

0:58.5

Since he's been so close to the action he's been able to gather a bunch of different perspectives as to what it is what it means to be part of the bankless world and so getting him on to talk about these various things talking about oracles talking about DFI talking about

1:14.4

tokens versus equity and what's going on with liquidity mining was a really

1:18.4

valuable conversation and we really hit just a wide variety of subjects from someone who's really close to all of the

1:23.8

action. To me this was an incredibly concise conversation like we hit on so many

1:29.7

different topics and he had very concise mental models for each of them.

1:35.0

It was just incredible from that perspective.

1:37.0

And we of course asked him about the Triple Point Asset Thesis,

1:41.0

which we are two for two on guests giving the general thumbs up on the triple point

1:46.0

asset thesis for ether. So, you know, big fan of that. So thanks for the thumbs up, Joey.

1:50.3

Yeah, absolutely. He also talked about we talked about ample forth too, which is something that Pantera, which is his investment firm invested in and he used this term Hayek money, which is super interesting interesting we got a new discussion about like like what is money in

2:06.3

crypto and whether ample forth can be a good collateral for Defi that was a very

2:11.8

interesting threat of conversation that I think
