Verbatim, from the transcripts: the passages where Ethereum comes up
Nvidia Part III: The Dawn of the AI Era (2022-2023) (Audio) · Acquired
- ▶ 1:28:35 Ben Gilbert And part of that, of course, is Ethereum moving to proof of stake, the end of the crypto thing for NVIDIA, which I'm sure they're actually thrilled about.
From NFL to Startup COO to Congressman Regulating Crypto (with Rep. Anthony Gonzalez) · Acquired
- ▶ 49:14 Anthony Gonzalez So I took like a little margin, a couple hundred bucks or something, and started playing around in DeFi, and I quickly realized I couldn't do anything with my ETH because the gas fees would destroy it.
Walmart · Acquired
- ▶ 1:19:04 Ben Gilbert I'll go start Ethereum.
The Playbook: Lessons from 200+ Company Stories · Acquired
- ▶ 2:53 Anatoly Yakovenko So it was billed as a faster version of Ethereum.
- ▶ 5:54 Raj Gokul The next round was like 13, but a ton of it got wiped out, because most of it came in in ETH.
American Dynamism (with Katherine Boyle) · Acquired
- ▶ 5:15 David Rosenthal For folks out there who are considering NFT projects, working on them, what are the big benefits to using Solana versus say Ethereum or another blockchain?
Super Pumped (with Brian Koppelman and Joseph Gordon-Levitt) · Acquired
- ▶ 4:42 Brandon Millman Actually from 2017 to 2021, before we started Phantom, the co-founders and myself all worked at this previous crypto startup called ZeroX, which was focusing on building DeFi technology on Ethereum.
- ▶ 4:54 Brandon Millman And so we actually have a very deep Ethereum background and worked in that space for a while.
- ▶ 5:13 Brandon Millman At the same time, the underlying Ethereum platform was becoming more and more expensive and less usable and approachable to the average consumer, so we decided we needed a faster and cheaper platform, and that platform ended up being…
- ▶ 6:44 Joseph Gordon-Levitt By saying when I listened to your Ethereum episode, it really did change my mind about what Web three is.
The Browser (with Brendan Eich, Chief Architect of Netscape + Mozilla and CEO of Brave) · Acquired
- ▶ 1:06:55 Brendan Eich Chris Dixon of interesting Horowitz wrote this essay about Ethereum the other year and talked about how he saw the developer, you know, animal spirits just rallying around it.
- ▶ 1:07:03 Brendan Eich And then Ethereum got slow and the fees were too high, but in some ways it's like Unix, the Ethereum virtual machine.
- ▶ 1:07:03 Brendan Eich And then Ethereum got slow and the fees were too high, but in some ways it's like Unix, the Ethereum virtual machine.
- ▶ 1:07:16 Brendan Eich Polygon, obviously, uh, Avalanche's C chain is an EVM compatible, like the Unix system call table being copied into different flavors of Unix.
- ▶ 1:07:34 Brendan Eich And in this case, even with the EVM compatibles, the code can be tested to inter-operation.
- ▶ 1:07:46 Brendan Eich So I think the Dixon's essay was on point, even though people decry Ethereum's slowness and high gas fees and the new chains are just super exciting to the extent that you can port your code.
- ▶ 1:07:57 Brendan Eich Uh, there are EVM cross compiler and interpreter solutions on Solana and there's the C chain and other direct EVM compatibles on other chains.
- ▶ 1:08:05 Ben Gilbert It seems like your strategy with embracing not just the blockchain, but becoming an economic player in the blockchain ecosystem has been, initially there was the basic attention token, and I don't think that those were actually deposited…
- ▶ 1:22:34 Brendan Eich So it's hard to beat a server when you want to do something like index Ethereum's history into a database with multiple ways of querying it.
- ▶ 1:29:53 Brendan Eich Crypto is, for each blockchain, its own set of standards, often run by a core team, but there's, as I said earlier, greater sort of de facto standardization on things like EVM compatible chains, or, uh, smart contract systems, or things…
Not Boring (with Packy McCormick) - Extended Cut · Acquired
- ▶ 1:43:36 Packy McCormick Uh, and then, you know, wrote a piece that we discussed on a previous acquired episode about Ethereum and then dove into Solana.
