Bankless Nation is the first week of September. We're September 2025. I've got my co-host,

David Hoffman back. I know you missed him. He was at Burning Man. David, okay, not less than 24 hours

after you left. We had an ETH all-time high, man. Dude, how funny is that?

I wanted to celebrate that with you.

I can just call it.

We're like, okay, I'm going on some wild crazy adventure. Ethan is going to do something. And it's just so consistent to this point that it's actually pretty maculate. Because you were kind of off the grid. You're a burning man. I was gone. Okay. At what point did you know that we hit an all-time high at all?

It was probably gone by then.

I was, we were watching me and Ben Lekoff at from. was gone. Okay. At what point did you know that we hit an all-time high at all? It was probably

gone by then. I was, we were watching me and Ben Lekoff at from Bankless Ventures. We were in Reno

driving to Burning Man, losing service as Eith was flirting with all-time high. Oh, that had to be

hard. Yeah. And we lost service and Eith was like 4,780 or something. And then I think I got I like was it, I got like a random bit of service on the pli like four days into it. And what did I see? It was already over. I saw some message from the discourse saying so somebody was like oh, congrats on Eth, all time high.

The message was like two days old or something.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But unfortunately, by the time you got that, if you checked prices, it probably would have been like, you know, 4,200 or something like that. Anyway, it was there. So how was Burning Man, though? Dude, Burning Man is probably one of the greatest. If you can survive being dirty and sleeping in a tent for an extended amount of period,

Burning Man is like... is probably one of the greatest. If you can survive being dirty and sleeping in a tent for an

extended amount of period, Burning Man is like an incredible experience. Okay, this is you in the sandstorm.

I was seeing all these images of like sand happening and it was the sandiest burning man ever.

I was like, oh, David's in for it. I talked to like burning men, people who had gone for like 20

times and people said that it was this storm that came in and wrecked the burn and the first David's in for it. I talked to like burning men, people who had gone for like 20 times. And people

said that it was this storm that came in and wrecked the burn in the first day was the biggest storm that they had ever seen. And it was like 60 mile an hour winds. I was holding onto what we call tent city. And it's like the just like piping that holds up tarps that gives you some shade so you're not you know burning up in the sun and so the tarps are just massive

sails and I was holding on It's like the just like piping that holds up tarps that gives you some shade so you're not, you know, burning up in the sun.

And so the tarps are just massive sails.

And I was holding on to this piping to make sure it didn't blow away. And I got lifted up off of the ground. Yeah. That's kind of fun. Yeah. Was it kind of fun to be in a sandstorm? It was, no, it was a top three crisis moment where like the tarp started ripping and we all had to strike tent city.
