New Episode: Meme Coins, Solana's Rise, and the Future of Crypto

With Joe McCann (Asymmetric) and Ryan Rasmussen (Bitwise)

Hey Friends,

Yesterday we were joined by Joe McCann and Ryan Rasmussen for a lively (and heated) debate on the meme coin craze, the battle between Solana and Ethereum, Bitcoin’s potential as a strategic reserve, and what it all means for the future of decentralized finance.

Here’s what we unpack:

  • Meme Coins: Why retail can’t get enough of them.

  • Solana vs. Ethereum: Is Solana stealing Ethereum’s lunch money?

  • Bitcoin’s Big Play: Could it become a national reserve asset?

  • Transparency in Trading: How Blockchain is shaking up traditional finance.

  • Solana’s Tech Edge: What makes it a real contender.

  • Seasonal Weight Gain: Phil says to skip the second serving of pecan pie.

Catch the full conversation, recorded live on November 19th:
