| 0:00.0 | Hey Bankless Nation, happy Friday to you. It is the first week of August. David, it's |
| 0:18.5 | roll up time. This is the EIP 1559 edition, 1559.1559. How are you, say it? It is the day |
| 0:27.8 | that we have deployed EIP 1559 actually. We will have deployed it one day after you guys are |
| 0:33.9 | listening to this. David, that's pretty exciting, dude. I'm pumped. There is so much to talk about, |
| 0:39.1 | and so I'm going to try and refrain from talking about it right now, but it has been a long time |
| 0:44.7 | coming, and the fact that EIP 1559 is here, and we have things to talk about that it's actually |
| 0:50.5 | live is just absolutely stellar, and I'm really stoked to get into the weekly roll up this week. |
| 0:55.4 | Okay, yeah, do not drink a swig of coffee every time you hear EIP 1559, or you will be coffee drunk |
| 1:02.8 | before we get into the show. We got to talk about pool together because it is summertime, |
| 1:07.2 | and it's all time to get into the pool. If you don't know pool together, it is a no-loss lottery, |
| 1:12.4 | which means you put yours, stablecoins, your comp tokens, whatever tokens that pool together |
| 1:16.8 | accepts into a pool, and then you have a chance to win the accrued interest that accrues weekly from |
| 1:22.4 | everyone's collective funds. So you don't lose your principle, you might lose your opportunity |
| 1:28.2 | cost of money, but you also might win everyone else's interest as well. It's a fun no-loss lottery |
| 1:33.9 | on Ethereum. Every single week, roughly 50 to $60,000, gets awarded in USDC, and that is just |
| 1:41.0 | the USDC pool. There is usually a drawing every single day of the week. They have also recently |
| 1:46.8 | deployed their polygon implementation, where you can deposit a TUSD tether into the polygon, |
| 1:52.6 | pool together pool together pool, and they are also rolling out their L2s coming soon in the future. |
| 1:58.4 | So check them out. There's a link in the show notes so you can have fun in the pool. |
| 2:02.9 | That's a lot of pool time, guys. If you haven't yet tried many DeFi apps, this is one to try |
| 2:09.1 | and tell your friends super easy to use, and you can't lose. It's a lot of you can't lose. |
| 2:13.8 | So check that out, guys. All right, David, you ready to get into Bitcoin markets, my friend? |
