Summary
Free markets are an incredible force. They allow humans to come together and produce a global price on something.
But today's 'free markets' aren't really free. Access to markets is gatekept, and the ability for something of value to become instantiated into an asset is permissioned.
Read along with David’s most recent thought piece on why 'Crypto is Here to Set Us Free.'

| 0:00.0 | Hey, Bankless Nation, today we are going to read the article that I'm putting out on the |
| 0:03.9 | bankless newsletter. |
| 0:04.9 | I also gave this as a talk at ETH Denver, but I was kind of just like using this article |
| 0:10.0 | as notes to inspire the talk and then use the pictures that are in the article as what |
| 0:17.2 | it was being displayed on the slides. |
| 0:18.9 | But today we're going to actually read the article for those that don't want to read |
| 0:22.2 | it themselves and prefer audio content, and then maybe I'll talk and pause and ramble |
| 0:27.0 | about some other stuff that's not in there. |
| 0:28.6 | But before we do, I've got to shout out the sponsors that make the show possible Polygon |
| 0:33.5 | is the fastest, coolest layer 2 that you've ever used across protocol. |
| 0:38.0 | You can use across protocol to get to Polygon, and then also to other layer 2s. |
| 0:42.9 | While you're doing that, you're probably going to be approving tokens in your Metamask, |
| 0:46.2 | so use Metamask, and then if you're doing things right and you're truly bankless holding |

| 0:55.3 | across to get to Polygon, and maybe one day Alchemix will deploy on Polygon, I think |
| 1:01.0 | maybe they already are actually, but you know what definitely is, is also Uniswap, so |
| 1:06.3 | you can use all of these products together, and that's why the bankless advertisers are |
| 1:09.3 | so goddamn dope because we get to talk about them all at the same time. |
| 1:12.7 | Thank you sponsors for sponsoring bankless, let's go ahead and read, Crypto is here to set |
| 1:17.4 | you free. |
| 1:18.4 | And shout out to the guys over at the Design Guild out of the bankless DAO, who helped |
