Welcome to Ban Kipless, where we explore the frontier of internet money and

internet finance. This is how to get started, how to get better, and how to

front run the 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? I'm doing just fantastic Ryan, really excited about the future of the Bankless Nation,

and we brought on Eric Voorhees, who is one of the earliest settlers of the Bankless Nation.

We talked about the metaphor of going west a lot and we talked about it with Eric.

And for those that don't know, Eric Vorhe is one of the earliest pioneers of this base.

He's been through the entire Bitcoin history and he's been upholding the bankless values before we even

call them the bankless values and so we go through Eric's history of being one of the first settlers of this new nation and what that experience is like and what lessons he has learned along the way.

He also talks a lot about the values.

I mean he started, he's an O.J.

So he started in 2011 and he can I mean he was there when Bitcoin was sort of

instantiating its values and I feel like David this episode just like is a

Bitcoin Maxxelist Slayer episode.

Like it just like knife in the heart man.

Eric totally, I think, brought out the core values that made Bitcoin special in the very early days and talked about how those

values could be present in non-bit coin crypto networks. And it was super refreshing to hear him talk about that because I think that's what that's what we've been talking about like Eric seems to me like he is a a member of the Bankless Nation,

perhaps without knowing it.

Maybe he was an original founder of the Bankless Nation,

and we're just discovering this country

a little bit later.

But you know what?
