Latest / The Paul Barron Crypto Show / Canton Chain Better Than XRP, Solana, & Ethereum?🔥Yuval Rooz INTERVIEW
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Let's dive into it.
- 0:00Speaker 2: Today we're going to be doing a breakdown of Canton
- 0:02Speaker 2: network and understanding a little bit more about what they
- 0:05Speaker 2: are doing. It's going to be a good one, so
- 0:07Speaker 2: stick around for that. I do want to thank our
- 0:09Speaker 2: sponsor today. And then of course is Tangum. This is
- 0:11Speaker 2: where you guys can get into self custody.
- 0:13Speaker 1: One way to do that is just start.
- 0:15Speaker 2: Whether you're a brand new to crypto or maybe you're
- 0:17Speaker 2: an OG, doesn't matter. Self custy is one of the
- 0:20Speaker 2: best models out there and also a way to diversify asset.
- 0:23Speaker 2: So just for safety sakes, use our link. It's going
- 0:26Speaker 2: to give you a little bit of a discount.
- 0:28Speaker 1: Is it hard?
- 0:29Speaker 2: You know, it seems like it's very complicated, it's not.
- 0:31Speaker 2: With Tantem. Just click that link. You guys can get started.
- 0:34Speaker 2: All right, Let's go into a couple of things I
- 0:36Speaker 2: want to lead off with before we bring on our guest.
- 0:39Speaker 2: And if you look at them, they're at the top
- 0:40Speaker 2: of the leader board right here on the league table.
- 0:42Speaker 2: You can kind of see that total value three and
- 0:44Speaker 2: fifty bill and if you look at the represented versus
- 0:47Speaker 2: distributed D five versus, you know, we'll see some interesting
- 0:52Speaker 2: things that we want to break down with the CEO
- 0:56Speaker 2: and founder of Canton.
- 0:57Speaker 1: Now, the Bankless guys did a.
- 1:00Speaker 2: An interview with them already, and I wanted to play
- 1:02Speaker 2: a couple of clips to kind of set the stage.
- 1:04Speaker 3: Take a look, you know, Canton, it shows represented an
- 1:07Speaker 3: asset value of three hundred and eighty billion, Like three
- 1:10Speaker 3: hundred and eighty billion, Its bigger than all of the
- 1:12Speaker 3: stable coins on public crypto network.
- 1:14Speaker 4: It is not rational to think that a CEO of
- 1:18Speaker 4: a thirty billion dollar company would gamify numbers to get
- 1:24Speaker 4: some attention on a website for what benefit?
- 1:29Speaker 1: Like for what?
- 1:30Speaker 2: All right, So when you look at DeFi Lama, and
- 1:32Speaker 2: we'll just kind of take a look here. I'm just
- 1:34Speaker 2: going to pull up Canton real quick, and as you
- 1:38Speaker 2: can see, Canton not showing up there. So I think
- 1:40Speaker 2: the point that Ryan was trying to make there when
- 1:43Speaker 2: you look at where Canton is and the valuation is
- 1:48Speaker 2: the question mark. I don't think it was a bad question,
- 1:50Speaker 2: but I think you know the answer.
- 1:52Speaker 1: You look at it.
- 1:52Speaker 2: You look at the history of all things financial. The
- 1:55Speaker 2: number one reason people do these things is money. You know,
- 1:58Speaker 2: that's the number one reason. So hopefully we'll be able
- 2:01Speaker 2: to drill down into that, clear the air with them
- 2:04Speaker 2: and kind of get into it. If you take a
- 2:05Speaker 2: look at the top leader board here on coin market Cap,
- 2:08Speaker 2: I'm just going to go down here to Canton and
- 2:10Speaker 2: if you look at where they are, let me kind
- 2:12Speaker 2: of see if I can zoom in on that a little
- 2:13Speaker 2: bit for you guys, you'll notice right there, I'm kind
- 2:15Speaker 2: of scrolling across right there's the volume which is twell
- 2:18Speaker 2: mil in comparison to some of the other top chains
- 2:22Speaker 2: that are in here.
- 2:22Speaker 1: If you look at the top thirty, that is a
- 2:24Speaker 1: big deal.
- 2:25Speaker 2: I think these are questions that everybody has to answer.
- 2:28Speaker 2: Charles Hoskinson came on talking about I love it when
- 2:31Speaker 2: Legacy Finance comes together with Canton and try to build
- 2:34Speaker 2: what XRP and Midnight are already doing at scale.
- 2:38Speaker 1: They never learn blah blah blah.
- 2:40Speaker 2: And then of course you go after what the next
- 2:44Speaker 2: component was, which was a clip here talking about how
- 2:49Speaker 2: Canton maybe compares to next generation technology.
- 2:53Speaker 1: Take a look.
- 2:54Speaker 4: But now you're coming into our world.
- 2:56Speaker 3: You're doing the blocker re sponsorships, you're on the coin
- 3:00Speaker 3: echo page marketing it to our industry, which we value
- 3:04Speaker 3: the cipherpunk maximalism of bitcoin and ethereum.
- 3:07Speaker 5: Yeah, so first of all, I would say that I
- 3:10Speaker 5: had to bet that if I had to put a
- 3:13Speaker 5: poly market bet on do you listen to music on
- 3:15Speaker 5: Napster or Spotify, I'm pretty sure that I can make
- 3:19Speaker 5: the right bet of where you listen to music?
- 3:21Speaker 4: Hey, how you doing hell here?
- 3:23Speaker 2: It's my understanding that I had over eighty million streams
- 3:28Speaker 2: on Spotify this year, So if I'm doing the math right,
- 3:31Speaker 2: that means I.
- 3:31Speaker 1: Earned twelve dollars.
- 3:34Speaker 2: So, from the bottom of my heart, thanks for your
- 3:36Speaker 2: support and thanks for the sandwich.
- 3:38Speaker 6: They just sent me some shit from Spotify. Well I
- 3:41Speaker 6: got a billion streams right, That shit wasn't even forty
- 3:44Speaker 6: five thousand dollars.
- 3:44Speaker 1: That's crazy, crazy, That is fucking crazy.
- 3:47Speaker 6: Let me tell you the thing that worked with me.
- 3:49Speaker 6: It was simple. It was transparency, all.
- 3:52Speaker 2: Right, you know, snoops, got it right. Transparency. That's one
- 3:54Speaker 2: of the biggest things. And when you look at where spotify,
- 3:57Speaker 2: this is a good example of it because tech that
- 3:59Speaker 2: really kind of started what was going on in the
- 4:01Speaker 2: world of Napster and the MP three's. I mean, that
- 4:04Speaker 2: was the precedence of where technology was going in terms
- 4:07Speaker 2: of music streaming. You look at Spotify, it's a different
- 4:10Speaker 2: world now. There is no transparency, and that I think
- 4:13Speaker 2: is the concern that I think a lot of people have.
- 4:15Speaker 1: So I and again, this is.
- 4:17Speaker 2: Something that people were kind of prouding me on Twitter
- 4:20Speaker 2: to talk about Canton. So I put out a quote
- 4:23Speaker 2: and a tweet and it was you know, a few
- 4:26Speaker 2: people talked about it, but you've all came on rightly
- 4:29Speaker 2: so and said my post could not be more wrong.
- 4:32Speaker 2: I'm far from what I claimed it is. And also
- 4:35Speaker 2: I should try again. So we said, let's try again,
- 4:38Speaker 2: and we're going to bring you've all on to talk
- 4:40Speaker 2: a little bit more about this. So you've all Russ
- 4:42Speaker 2: coming in today.
- 4:43Speaker 1: How are you?
- 4:44Speaker 4: I'm good?
- 4:44Speaker 1: How are you excellent?
- 4:46Speaker 2: Excellent? So we have a lot of questions. I want
- 4:48Speaker 2: to get into a handful that kind of goes into it.
- 4:51Speaker 2: First of all, when I go to defai Lama, why
- 4:53Speaker 2: would it not be on there?
- 4:55Speaker 1: What would it be the reason?
- 4:56Speaker 4: Um, I don't know, to be honest, I don't I
- 4:59Speaker 4: don't have an answer. You know, even in the x
- 5:04Speaker 4: y Z example, I saw your interesting intro. This whole
- 5:09Speaker 4: represented versus distributed listen. I think that this industry, as
- 5:15Speaker 4: every industry, has, you know, people that have ideas of
- 5:20Speaker 4: what it should represent. We've seen the whole discussion about
- 5:25Speaker 4: the Ethereum Foundation in the last few days. We have
- 5:29Speaker 4: different approaches Tempo launching saying that it's permissionless, and now
- 5:34Speaker 4: people are showing that you need to be permissioned to
- 5:37Speaker 4: be a validator. Everybody has their own agenda and at
- 5:41Speaker 4: the end of the day, we are trying to solve
- 5:42Speaker 4: a very specific problem and you know that's what we're doing.
- 5:45Speaker 4: We're not going to apologize for you know, the work
- 5:50Speaker 4: that we do and the partners that we work with.
- 5:52Speaker 4: And at the end of the day, I believe that
- 5:54Speaker 4: DeFi Lama eventually will show the assets that are on
- 5:58Speaker 4: Canton inductivity that is happening there.
- 6:00Speaker 1: Because that's a situation.
- 6:01Speaker 2: I think with Difai Lama that you guys could probably
- 6:03Speaker 2: work out, you know, and get it narrowed down. How
- 6:06Speaker 2: is Canton different from the many other institutional chains that
- 6:09Speaker 2: are out there. What would you say, you know, to
- 6:11Speaker 2: really make it easy for our audience to understand what
- 6:14Speaker 2: really makes them different, you different than the other chains
- 6:17Speaker 2: that are popping up right.
- 6:18Speaker 4: Now why, First of all, I would start with, why
- 6:21Speaker 4: do you call Canton an institutional chain?
- 6:23Speaker 2: Well, I think that's well, we can talk about that.
- 6:25Speaker 2: That's what we think it is.
- 6:27Speaker 4: Oh, I mean I understand that it's a good thing
- 6:31Speaker 4: to call it. I mean when you look at every
- 6:34Speaker 4: l one in the last three years, what have been
- 6:38Speaker 4: their biggest announcement. Oh, I issued a money market fund
- 6:41Speaker 4: with this big institution. Oh, I've done this integration with
- 6:44Speaker 4: this big institution. I mean, that's what all of these
- 6:47Speaker 4: l ones have celebrated. So I don't understand where you
- 6:52Speaker 4: call a chain an institutional chain. It was actually started
- 6:56Speaker 4: by a startup. We created the technology. There are forty
- 7:01Speaker 4: plus supervalidators, not all of them are institutions, or to
- 7:05Speaker 4: be honest, I don't even know how you define an institution.
- 7:08Speaker 4: I think what we're trying to say by institution, it's
- 7:11Speaker 4: the old guard of Wall Street. Well, actually, if you
- 7:15Speaker 4: go and look at the list of supervalidators, most of
- 7:18Speaker 4: them are not. So I just again trying to understand
- 7:22Speaker 4: what is what makes a chain an institutional chain.
- 7:27Speaker 2: I would say the network in terms of being able
- 7:31Speaker 2: to have djens, we'll call it that. I mean, that's
- 7:34Speaker 2: part of this market anyway, if you look at just
- 7:36Speaker 2: a meme coin meme coins right now, I mean, we
- 7:39Speaker 2: have a meme coin now listed as a commodity, so
- 7:42Speaker 2: it's clear that there is a track for that. But
- 7:44Speaker 2: what is the top meme point on Canton?
- 7:48Speaker 4: We don't have a meme coin on Canton. What is
- 7:51Speaker 4: that top meme coin on XRP.
- 7:54Speaker 1: There's hundreds on XRPL mean cooin?
- 7:57Speaker 4: What is come on? Well, I mean, what is the mean.
- 8:01Speaker 1: I'm not going to mention a meme I'm not going
- 8:03Speaker 1: to ma a coin.
- 8:04Speaker 4: I think our drink was made. What is the top
- 8:07Speaker 4: point an avalanche? What is the top mean coin? I mean,
- 8:10Speaker 4: we can keep one.
- 8:11Speaker 1: I think the ones that I like. You're asking me
- 8:14Speaker 1: to just list meme coins, all right.
- 8:16Speaker 4: So I'm saying what is the top because you ask
- 8:19Speaker 4: what is the top? And I guess my point is
- 8:21Speaker 4: there is no meme coin on Canton because maybe we
- 8:25Speaker 4: as a community didn't necessarily prioritize having a meme coin.
- 8:29Speaker 4: But if not having a meme coin makes us an
- 8:31Speaker 4: institutional chain or a corp chain, then I'm accepting it.
- 8:35Speaker 4: That's okay, okay, all right. By the way, I don't
- 8:37Speaker 4: have a problem with the definition. I just am trying
- 8:40Speaker 4: to understand what does the question and so.
- 8:42Speaker 1: I think a lot.
- 8:43Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the market looks at an institutional chain
- 8:46Speaker 2: differently than an open chain. An open chain is going
- 8:50Speaker 2: to have networks that have these kind of things available
- 8:53Speaker 2: all the time, you know, whether you look at XRP
- 8:55Speaker 2: or you look at what's happening on Solana Avalanche, any
- 8:58Speaker 2: of those, all of of which have kind of proven
- 9:01Speaker 2: themselves to be open networks or at least have the
- 9:04Speaker 2: ability to go in that direction.
- 9:05Speaker 1: So I think that's the point.
- 9:06Speaker 4: I just want to clarify. I want to clarify if
- 9:09Speaker 4: if it was possible to launch a meme coin on
- 9:13Speaker 4: Canton in a permissionless manner, then we would lose the
- 9:17Speaker 4: definition of an institutional change because again I think that
- 9:21Speaker 4: you know, we have we have dexas, we have prediction markets,
- 9:25Speaker 4: we have other things that you would maybe associate more
- 9:28Speaker 4: with the I guess dgen economy. Uh, we just don't
- 9:31Speaker 4: have a meme coin. So I again, I'm just trying
- 9:34Speaker 4: to understand where is the definition.
- 9:36Speaker 1: So you're saying it's possible to launch a meme coin
- 9:38Speaker 1: now on Canton.
- 9:39Speaker 4: Network one hundred percent.
- 9:42Speaker 1: Why haven't you done it?
- 9:45Speaker 4: Because we have other priorities. Again, it's maybe maybe we should,
- 9:50Speaker 4: you know, maybe maybe you know listen listening questions.
- 9:54Speaker 1: I think, yeah, listening to you.
- 9:55Speaker 4: Maybe maybe you're giving the ideas maybe we should and
- 9:58Speaker 4: maybe you know, you give any ideas, So maybe stay tuned.
- 10:02Speaker 2: All right, Well, okay, a meme coin coming to Canton,
- 10:05Speaker 2: that would be I think the guys from banklets would
- 10:07Speaker 2: probably be all over that for sure. Now that we
- 10:09Speaker 2: know that these things are commodities, the likelihood is we're
- 10:12Speaker 2: going to see an absolute explosion of it. So I
- 10:14Speaker 2: think the market itself is going to speak and they're
- 10:16Speaker 2: going to want it to happen for sure. If you
- 10:19Speaker 2: look at Avalanche, we'll go to Avalanche specifically for a
- 10:23Speaker 2: couple of reasons, but if you look at Avalanche in general,
- 10:26Speaker 2: how would you guys say, well, Canton is a better
- 10:29Speaker 2: solution for something than say Avalanche.
- 10:34Speaker 4: Privacy one. I think that Avalanche will market itself with
- 10:42Speaker 4: its sub networks. I think in their documentation you could
- 10:45Speaker 4: read that the way to move from one sub network
- 10:48Speaker 4: to another is using bridges, which in our opinion, is
- 10:51Speaker 4: not safe in Canton. All transactions between any Canton to
- 10:56Speaker 4: any Canton is fully composable as if you were on
- 10:59Speaker 4: the same network. I would say at a high level
- 11:01Speaker 4: of those would be the two big differences.
- 11:03Speaker 2: Well, I mean, their private network is pretty solid. I
- 11:05Speaker 2: think a lot of people are choosing Avalanche because of that.
- 11:08Speaker 2: The capability of being able to launch their own network.
- 11:11Speaker 4: Private network does not imply privacy. So if you launch
- 11:14Speaker 4: a private ethereum chain, you just have a small subnet
- 11:17Speaker 4: of participants that still have no privacy amongst themselves.
- 11:22Speaker 2: So and you okay, so and that has been I
- 11:24Speaker 2: think that privacy is is a challenge. I think a
- 11:27Speaker 2: lot of people look at every chain out there in
- 11:29Speaker 2: terms of privacy. You're saying that Canton is a fully privacy,
- 11:34Speaker 2: a full privacy chain right now.
- 11:36Speaker 4: No, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying it's the
- 11:38Speaker 4: only public chain that have privacy capabilities. We don't believe
- 11:43Speaker 4: in a binary world either everything is privacy or everything
- 11:46Speaker 4: is public. You could have things that are public on Canton,
- 11:49Speaker 4: and you could have things that are private on Canton.
- 11:51Speaker 4: So it's the only chain that has privacy capabilities. It
- 11:55Speaker 4: is not all privacy chain.
- 11:58Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, So let's look at the validators and
- 12:01Speaker 2: I'm trying to understand it. But my question, when you
- 12:03Speaker 2: have a validator in here, whether it's a super validator
- 12:06Speaker 2: or not, can they look in on transactions?
- 12:10Speaker 4: Again, it really depends how the smart contract have defined
- 12:14Speaker 4: who's allowed to see what so on Canton, It's not
- 12:17Speaker 4: that everything is private or not. By definition, the smart
- 12:23Speaker 4: contract designates what information is public for people to see
- 12:28Speaker 4: and what is private.
- 12:30Speaker 2: So who would be allowed to become a super validator Anyway,
- 12:35Speaker 2: there's thirteen stand alone. Right now you're saying that these
- 12:39Speaker 2: are not institutional clients that are doing this.
- 12:43Speaker 4: I mean, angel Hack from Asia, to the best of
- 12:47Speaker 4: my knowledge, are not one of the biggest players in
- 12:51Speaker 4: Wall Street. They are a company that does hackathons and
- 12:57Speaker 4: developer education. So I mean that's just example maybe to
- 13:01Speaker 4: call out there's.
- 13:02Speaker 1: That's the other thirteen.
- 13:04Speaker 4: Thirteen are thirteen people that operate supervalidators. There's some that
- 13:10Speaker 4: co run multiple supervalidators on the same note, and there
- 13:14Speaker 4: are over forty of them.
- 13:15Speaker 1: Why would they not be listed here?
- 13:17Speaker 4: Then some of these supervalidators co run the other supervalidators.
- 13:21Speaker 4: So what you're seeing is are the thirteen operators of
- 13:24Speaker 4: supervalidators proof group is not a bank if I even
- 13:28Speaker 4: look at your list, MPH is not a bank.
- 13:31Speaker 1: Digital asset one and two is that are those you guys?
- 13:35Speaker 4: Yes?
- 13:35Speaker 1: Iron, so you have eleven.
- 13:40Speaker 4: So at eleven again, you're you're going to keep on
- 13:42Speaker 4: saying that, then I'm going to correcting that.
- 13:46Speaker 1: Let's call we're We're not trying to hijack you here.
- 13:49Speaker 1: This is out there. This is general research.
- 13:51Speaker 4: So do you do you want to go to the
- 13:53Speaker 4: Canton Foundation where they list all of the supervalidators?
- 13:57Speaker 1: Happy to what? What is the website Cantons Network?
- 14:00Speaker 2: So okay, so I'm looking to become a super validator.
- 14:05Speaker 2: What is the process that PBN would need to take.
- 14:07Speaker 2: Here's where I can get in and start accessing the program.
- 14:12Speaker 2: So here's the forty that you're talking about.
- 14:14Speaker 1: Is that right?
- 14:15Speaker 4: Forty the validators?
- 14:17Speaker 1: Yeah? All right, So these are the forty validators.
- 14:20Speaker 2: Some of them are running multiple nodes within one validator
- 14:25Speaker 2: even though it's registered as a single validator. But what's
- 14:27Speaker 2: the process that I would take to get on as
- 14:30Speaker 2: a validator?
- 14:30Speaker 1: Right now?
- 14:31Speaker 2: If PBN, if Baron Capital says we want to come
- 14:34Speaker 2: in and do one, how would we do that?
- 14:39Speaker 4: So every network decides what is the threshold to be
- 14:45Speaker 4: a full node? Right, okay, and ethereum. I think it
- 14:51Speaker 4: requires thirty two eat on X ORPI. I don't even
- 14:56Speaker 4: know what it requires to be on. I'm not saying
- 14:59Speaker 4: that there is no I just don't know what it
- 15:01Speaker 4: is on. Solana and Suey and others can, though, I'm
- 15:06Speaker 4: trying to explain to you. So those networks have selected
- 15:12Speaker 4: to have money as a way to become a full note.
- 15:15Speaker 4: On Canton, we decided that contribution to the network is
- 15:20Speaker 4: a better mechanism to decide if you should become a
- 15:24Speaker 4: full note.
- 15:25Speaker 1: So Paul contribution, what does that mean?
- 15:31Speaker 4: I'm getting there. I promise Paul will write a SIP,
- 15:36Speaker 4: which is a Canton improvement proposal where he will say, look,
- 15:40Speaker 4: I'm Paul Baron. I run the best show in crypto.
- 15:44Speaker 4: I have a dedicated list of people that listen. I
- 15:48Speaker 4: think I can add a lot of value to the
- 15:50Speaker 4: network by grilling uvall, for example. And I think that
- 15:54Speaker 4: if I am going to do a series of education,
- 15:59Speaker 4: I'm going to do continuous research that adds tremendous value
- 16:03Speaker 4: to the network, and therefore I should become one of
- 16:07Speaker 4: the validators on the network, and if the network, which
- 16:10Speaker 4: are forty plus supervalidators, two thirds of them will vote
- 16:14Speaker 4: in favor, a decentralized process will vote you in favor.
- 16:19Speaker 4: You're a supervalidator just like that. You wouldn't have to
- 16:22Speaker 4: stake thirty forty million dollars to do that.
- 16:24Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I think, Well, the thing I think when
- 16:27Speaker 2: you look at this, seems like a good old boys club,
- 16:32Speaker 2: you know, which is kind of Wall Street. Yeah, I mean,
- 16:34Speaker 2: that's Wall Street right now. If you want to get
- 16:37Speaker 2: in on hedge funds, you've got to kind of get
- 16:39Speaker 2: accepted into those hedge funds the same.
- 16:41Speaker 4: I think that all happens if you're mistaking. I think
- 16:44Speaker 4: you're mistaking something because I think that you get in
- 16:47Speaker 4: a hedge fund, you need to have a lot of
- 16:49Speaker 4: money money, which is kind of equivalent to become a
- 16:52Speaker 4: full node on some of these chains. You need to
- 16:54Speaker 4: have a lot of money to become a full node.
- 16:57Speaker 4: So I think you're mistaking because, like I said, most
- 17:01Speaker 4: of the people that are super validators on Canton are
- 17:04Speaker 4: not some of those old guard that you keep on saying.
- 17:09Speaker 4: So I'm just saying, like I think that maybe you
- 17:12Speaker 4: are mistaken and you're getting you're getting the order incorrectly
- 17:16Speaker 4: that actually some of these crypto networks that keep on
- 17:19Speaker 4: talking about decentralization have put quantums of money that are
- 17:24Speaker 4: not available to the average person to participate as a validator,
- 17:27Speaker 4: where I'm.
- 17:28Speaker 2: Can no, but come on, I would not accept you
- 17:31Speaker 2: would not accept the average person.
- 17:33Speaker 4: And I just gave you angel Hack, which is a
- 17:36Speaker 4: great startup out of Asia that has been building hackathon
- 17:40Speaker 4: and trying to bring education to the system.
- 17:43Speaker 2: That's not an average re not an average company. Anybody
- 17:47Speaker 2: not angel Hack. You know, the guy next door who
- 17:49Speaker 2: has thirty two eighth can get a validator. Okay, I
- 17:51Speaker 2: don't have to be angel Hack, or I don't have
- 17:53Speaker 2: to be be PBN.
- 17:54Speaker 4: You know, not an average The guy next door does
- 17:58Speaker 4: not an average have thirty two eighth first of all,
- 18:01Speaker 4: and second.
- 18:02Speaker 1: I have a lot of audience members that hold thirty
- 18:04Speaker 1: two eighth. For sure, I'm not for sure.
- 18:07Speaker 4: I didn't say I didn't say like you you want
- 18:09Speaker 4: to corner me into a yes or no black and white.
- 18:13Speaker 4: And the reality is that Send is a wallet out
- 18:17Speaker 4: of the West Coast that was an early adopter and
- 18:21Speaker 4: became a supervalidator. You know what give me one bank
- 18:25Speaker 4: again from Wall Street, that is a super validator.
- 18:28Speaker 1: Please do one bank the problem banks? Yeah, that My
- 18:32Speaker 1: point is is one.
- 18:33Speaker 7: Bank is a super validator on the case, there's probably
- 18:37Speaker 7: I don't know there is none because they are not
- 18:40Speaker 7: going to do it until they have a clarity we
- 18:43Speaker 7: can take.
- 18:45Speaker 4: But let's let's park that aside. But you keep on
- 18:48Speaker 4: trying to put this that this is a Wall Street Corp. Chain,
- 18:51Speaker 4: And I'm asking you what is the ratio of Wall
- 18:54Speaker 4: Street Corp Chains that are running a supervalidator in Canton?
- 18:57Speaker 2: Because you did I don't think a Wall Street Corp chain,
- 19:01Speaker 2: Because remember we're talking about very specific companies that, of
- 19:05Speaker 2: course line up in these forty validators.
- 19:07Speaker 4: Can you tell me? Can you tell me where they are?
- 19:09Speaker 4: Can you tell me who are the validators on all
- 19:11Speaker 4: of those great other l ones that you're saying are
- 19:14Speaker 4: accessible for everyone?
- 19:15Speaker 1: Well, actually you can if you go in. The chrain
- 19:18Speaker 1: is transparent enough to where we can pull.
- 19:20Speaker 4: Up pretty sure that you're going to see that these
- 19:21Speaker 4: are actually a lot of very large financial institutions.
- 19:25Speaker 2: There would definitely be some in there, for sure, But
- 19:28Speaker 2: that does not make a decentralized chain a Wall Street
- 19:31Speaker 2: corp chain.
- 19:32Speaker 4: Correct, And all I said is that Kanton, I would say,
- 19:34Speaker 4: is actually much more fairly distributed across both large scale
- 19:39Speaker 4: institutions and some that are not.
- 19:41Speaker 1: All right, Okay, well you have your position. I have mine.
- 19:44Speaker 2: I think it feels different. My position is it looks
- 19:49Speaker 2: very centralized. It looks like a Wall Street corp chain.
- 19:53Speaker 4: But again, you say wall Street, where is the one?
- 19:55Speaker 2: When I say Wall Street? When I say Wall Street,
- 19:57Speaker 2: I'm talking about trad fi.
- 19:58Speaker 4: Where do you see the TRAT file? Again? You claim
- 20:02Speaker 4: that you did the research for this? Where is the
- 20:04Speaker 4: Wall Street ratio? No? Seriously, like I mean, if we're
- 20:07Speaker 4: going to throw words like research, we're going to throw
- 20:10Speaker 4: words like Wall Street model ratio. I just want you now.
- 20:15Speaker 4: I think that maybe where you're mistaking, Paul, is that
- 20:19Speaker 4: a lot of Wall Street companies use the technology. And
- 20:23Speaker 4: I know that that is very annoying.
- 20:25Speaker 1: That's normal, No, that's I think that's normal.
- 20:28Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, I mean we are seeing a transition
- 20:31Speaker 2: into I think, the next era of finance, and there
- 20:34Speaker 2: is no way that Wall Street's going to be left
- 20:36Speaker 2: out of this. You already see this with what Blackrock
- 20:38Speaker 2: is doing. You already see this with every major fund
- 20:40Speaker 2: out there. Obviously we've seen it now with what's going
- 20:43Speaker 2: on with the CFTC and the SEC clarifying sixteen assets
- 20:47Speaker 2: as commodities, so all of this is going that direction.
- 20:50Speaker 4: It is we understand that this quantities. Again, if you
- 20:53Speaker 4: did your research, you would see there's a language that
- 20:56Speaker 4: says such as and gave examples of sixteen assets. They
- 21:00Speaker 4: actually came up with a very clear definition that in
- 21:03Speaker 4: my opinion, if we were to put the SEC on
- 21:05Speaker 4: this panel, they would say the list is significantly longer
- 21:07Speaker 4: than sixteen. So the actual text is, well, if we're
- 21:11Speaker 4: saying that we're going to be clear and specific, then
- 21:14Speaker 4: let's just be clear and specific. They made They came
- 21:17Speaker 4: with a definition of what is a commodity and specifically
- 21:21Speaker 4: such as meaning gave an example of a list of
- 21:26Speaker 4: names that would fit that difference.
- 21:27Speaker 2: For sure, for sure, absolutely any project out there could
- 21:32Speaker 2: eventually become a commodity if they apply to those rules.
- 21:35Speaker 4: For sure, or already are a commodity, is my point.
- 21:38Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's probably several, you know, dozen to hundreds
- 21:41Speaker 2: of projects out that they could qualify for that right now,
- 21:44Speaker 2: you know, all right, so we're going to get into
- 21:48Speaker 2: our lightning round with you. It's where I would land
- 21:51Speaker 2: and it's where you would land. Okay, In terms of questions,
- 21:54Speaker 2: so we'll start off with the first one, and that
- 21:57Speaker 2: would be that the DCCC is the ultimate enemy enemy
- 22:02Speaker 2: of retail.
- 22:02Speaker 1: This is especially after Game Stop.
- 22:04Speaker 4: The dt c C is the ultimate enemy a nonrofit
- 22:09Speaker 4: the DTCC. Game stop, I mean, come on, game stop.
- 22:14Speaker 4: Game stop was a mismanagement of risk, not by the DTCC.
- 22:18Speaker 4: The DTCC operated just fine. The dt c C actually
- 22:22Speaker 4: provides quite a lot of scale and efficiency to the
- 22:25Speaker 4: US equation.
- 22:26Speaker 2: So you say, no, that was a major snafu in
- 22:29Speaker 2: the system. When we started to see the halting of trading,
- 22:32Speaker 2: the DCCC was the one in control of that.
- 22:34Speaker 1: So again again Robinhood was the culprit. But that was
- 22:40Speaker 1: the key.
- 22:40Speaker 4: Robin Hood DCC did not halt trading. That is just
- 22:45Speaker 4: factually incorrect. The DTCC has nothing to do with trading.
- 22:48Speaker 4: The DTCC is a settlement system and it's a clearinghouse.
- 22:52Speaker 4: If you want to say, if you want to say
- 22:54Speaker 4: that the ultimate enemy of trading is clearing houses, I'm
- 22:58Speaker 4: happy to have a longer debate. Okay, Okay, Well, then
- 23:00Speaker 4: let's be clear, don't don't call the DTCC the ultimate enemy,
- 23:03Speaker 4: because that is just for incorrect.
- 23:06Speaker 2: Is it a more trusted counterparty risk than say xdox
- 23:11Speaker 2: or cracking for token?
- 23:12Speaker 1: Is?
- 23:13Speaker 2: What?
- 23:14Speaker 4: Do you absolut fucking lily?
- 23:16Speaker 2: Yes, Okay, so you're yes on that the new era
- 23:21Speaker 2: of finance is changing and a lot of people are
- 23:23Speaker 2: having problem with that details.
- 23:25Speaker 4: But again time, I think you're asking your question as
- 23:28Speaker 4: as a more trusted counterparty. Again, I'll remind your listener
- 23:33Speaker 4: to DTCC is a non profit owned by the industry,
- 23:38Speaker 4: and you said that is less trusted than a single company.
- 23:42Speaker 4: I think that game theory Paul will disagree with you.
- 23:46Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe, I mean they would, you'd have to throw
- 23:49Speaker 1: by the way.
- 23:50Speaker 4: I think that just generally speaking, game theory will disagree
- 23:53Speaker 4: with you. You know, we're we're in this world where
- 23:55Speaker 4: we say decentralization reduces risk and you're literally asking me,
- 23:59Speaker 4: is a de centralized, member owned industry nonprofit is a
- 24:04Speaker 4: less trustworthy counterparty than a single company. Those two companies
- 24:09Speaker 4: that you said are great companies, to be clear, but
- 24:12Speaker 4: they are maximizing revenue and the DTCC is a nonprofit.
- 24:15Speaker 4: So again I just I just find it very odd
- 24:19Speaker 4: that you would disagree with me, and that independently of
- 24:22Speaker 4: the companies that you just stated, just the structure.
- 24:25Speaker 2: Okay, Well, the idea is, it's not a debate on
- 24:28Speaker 2: the lightning round. The idea is, we just want to
- 24:31Speaker 2: know where you stand.
- 24:31Speaker 1: That's all.
- 24:32Speaker 2: DTC and CC and CANTON are currently advocating for the
- 24:37Speaker 2: kill switch on DeFi.
- 24:38Speaker 1: Do you think that is happening?
- 24:41Speaker 4: I don't think I know that it's no.
- 24:44Speaker 1: Okay, you're saying no, I don't know. I'm just asking
- 24:46Speaker 1: you if it I'll go with that. I don't know
- 24:49Speaker 1: if it is or not.
- 24:50Speaker 2: But I know this is that nobody wants a kill
- 24:53Speaker 2: switch in DeFi. That I can sure you of when
- 24:57Speaker 2: it comes down.
- 24:58Speaker 4: To it, really really yeah, yeah, the defise when hacks
- 25:02Speaker 4: happen they go to court, is that a kill switch?
- 25:05Speaker 1: It is a kill switch? Then we have failed decentralized five?
- 25:09Speaker 4: What about these they went to courts? What about the
- 25:12Speaker 4: Dow hack? Do you agree that the theorem should have
- 25:14Speaker 4: forked after the Dow hack?
- 25:15Speaker 1: All?
- 25:15Speaker 2: Right, well, we could get all that's that's a new
- 25:18Speaker 2: one about you. I think the bankless guys would be
- 25:22Speaker 2: good at that.
- 25:22Speaker 4: Why why why you can in a sense the bankless
- 25:26Speaker 4: guys only when it's convenient.
- 25:27Speaker 1: I'm asking you, no, no, no, no, we're are situation.
- 25:30Speaker 4: Is nobody wants to kill switch. I'm asking I.
- 25:33Speaker 2: Don't think anybody wants a kill switch. I know I
- 25:36Speaker 2: don't have a kill switch.
- 25:37Speaker 4: When Suey got hacked and they forgot about it, do
- 25:40Speaker 4: you make a stink about it?
- 25:41Speaker 2: I'm not going down that direction, but that sounds like
- 25:44Speaker 2: a conversation we should probably have.
- 25:48Speaker 1: All right, so let's go into this.
- 25:49Speaker 2: If if e XRPL Solanna Cardono had native privacy, is
- 25:54Speaker 2: Canton just now doesn't matter because these would be huge
- 25:57Speaker 2: chains out there adding native privacy?
- 26:00Speaker 4: Could you add a few more derogatory comments before the chain?
- 26:04Speaker 4: But if they add it with a clear question if
- 26:09Speaker 4: if that is the key word, yep, yeah, yeah, but
- 26:13Speaker 4: but you should capitalize it and put a lot of
- 26:15Speaker 4: like exclamation and make it bold if. I mean, then
- 26:19Speaker 4: Canton is another very unique chain. But yeah, I mean
- 26:25Speaker 4: like all of them. You know, if all the features
- 26:28Speaker 4: are the same, then what differentiates all of them? So,
- 26:30Speaker 4: I mean it's just kind of a silly question.
- 26:33Speaker 1: All right, Well, you know, we're have we like to
- 26:35Speaker 1: have fun, you've all here on people.
- 26:38Speaker 4: This is this is actually very fun. I like to
- 26:40Speaker 4: educate you.
- 26:41Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 26:41Speaker 2: I haven't been educated yet, but okay, Canton has seven tps?
- 26:45Speaker 1: Is this true or false?
- 26:50Speaker 6: Uh?
- 26:51Speaker 4: You know, maybe you should be more specific like seven
- 26:54Speaker 4: point seven nine eight. No, it's just false false.
- 26:58Speaker 1: Okay, all right? Interesting. Let me know. Oh, guys out
- 27:00Speaker 1: there on the internet, do your thing.
- 27:02Speaker 2: Are we you know, are we going down the wrong
- 27:04Speaker 2: direction here with seven tps on this or not? Here's
- 27:08Speaker 2: the token six billion market cap, eleven million in volume,
- 27:11Speaker 2: A fifty percent supply dilution incoming hold and pray, a
- 27:16Speaker 2: fifty supplied dilution incoming coming down the pipe?
- 27:20Speaker 1: Is that true or no?
- 27:22Speaker 4: Not true?
- 27:23Speaker 1: Not true?
- 27:24Speaker 4: No? Did you did you do your research on the
- 27:28Speaker 4: fact that all of the supervalidators and apps locked all
- 27:32Speaker 4: of seventy percent of their holdings?
- 27:34Speaker 1: There you go. Then they're on hold? All right.
- 27:36Speaker 4: I'm not praying though, so that's not my answer. I'm
- 27:39Speaker 4: just holding.
- 27:40Speaker 1: Okay, you're going to hold, We'll put hold. I like that,
- 27:43Speaker 1: all right. I'm sure that the Internet is going to
- 27:45Speaker 1: do their thing on this one for sure.
- 27:47Speaker 2: Uh DTCC will leave Canton like coinbas left optimism they're going.
- 27:50Speaker 4: To do their own I don't think. I don't any
- 27:54Speaker 4: of those answers. So you need to the bottom.
- 27:56Speaker 2: Impossible, All everything is prop Oh, okay, everything's possible. All right,
- 28:03Speaker 2: Canton is going to partner with Palenteer survey all the boomers.
- 28:13Speaker 1: We pulled, no pun. We just have fun. We just
- 28:15Speaker 1: have fun.
- 28:16Speaker 4: I mean, tell me how many assets have been frozen
- 28:19Speaker 4: on Canton.
- 28:20Speaker 1: I don't know how many have been frozen? You must
- 28:22Speaker 1: have an answer.
- 28:24Speaker 4: Do you want me to answer how many assets have
- 28:25Speaker 4: been frozen on the Theorem and other chains?
- 28:27Speaker 1: Well? How long have you guys been around?
- 28:30Speaker 4: Well, h enough enough enough to be for assets to
- 28:34Speaker 4: be frozen. But I again, I guess when you don't
- 28:37Speaker 4: have privacy, a lot of assets can be frozen, and
- 28:40Speaker 4: a lot of assets.
- 28:41Speaker 2: So okay, after this, I'm gonna more likely to recommend
- 28:46Speaker 2: every company that builds on Canton versus any other chain.
- 28:50Speaker 2: You think I'm gonna recommend building on Canton.
- 28:53Speaker 4: Now, I think you like me, you like us more
- 28:56Speaker 4: so I don't know if yes, but slightly slightly.
- 28:59Speaker 2: Yes, lightly yes, I'm going to be in the no camp,
- 29:02Speaker 2: I think right now. But I'm open. I am never
- 29:05Speaker 2: closed off two ideas.
- 29:06Speaker 4: But my question is, are you in the hell no camp?
- 29:09Speaker 7: Right?
- 29:09Speaker 4: I actually changed it into slightly yes.
- 29:12Speaker 2: All right, there you go slightly yes, and you're still
- 29:16Speaker 2: I'm still in the hell no camp. But I am
- 29:18Speaker 2: open as always to looking at any project because things change,
- 29:24Speaker 2: you know, so when things change, anything can happen.
- 29:27Speaker 1: Man, anything.
- 29:27Speaker 4: I have showed openness, but I get it. It's okay.
- 29:31Speaker 4: I appreciate the comment.
- 29:33Speaker 2: Yeah, well, the point with lightning around the course is
- 29:35Speaker 2: to have fun. Really, at the end of the day, listen,
- 29:38Speaker 2: you've all, we're going to be watching Canton. You know
- 29:41Speaker 2: where I stand. I think, you know, it's just you
- 29:45Speaker 2: have a lot more inside information than I have. But
- 29:47Speaker 2: maybe I should become a validator so I would have
- 29:50Speaker 2: that information and then be able to make a much better.
- 29:53Speaker 1: You know, conclusion.
- 29:55Speaker 4: For sure, we would love to vote on.
- 29:57Speaker 2: Well now I've got the website where I can do that.
- 30:00Speaker 2: You know, you may get one from you know, Baron Capital.
- 30:02Speaker 1: You never know. Yeah, all right, you've all. It's been
- 30:05Speaker 1: great having you on the show today. Thank you so
- 30:06Speaker 1: much for coming in. We appreciate it.
