Web3: Sometimes complicated, never boring. A podcast hosted by @Austin_Federa from the @doublezero foundationlinktr.ee/ValidatedPodca…Joined December 2022
And now for something (almost) completely different.
Welcome to Out of Scope, a new sub-series of Validated where @Austin_Federa and Tori Pastore, aka @Bonecondor, aka Birb, riff with guests on hot takes so off-topic you’ll forget this is typically a blockchain-centric podcast.
In this debut episode, they sit down with @AustinCampbell to discuss what some might call too many subjects for one hour. Running stablecoin reserves, repealing the 17th Amendment, why some banks resemble cartels, market structure, why regulators should be paid more and held to higher standards, modernizing the BSA, and (most importantly) a definitive ranking of video conferencing tools.

"Financial innovation in stablecoins is usually a red flag. The innovation should be in the technology, not the reserves. If you're innovating in the reserves, it's probably not actually stable"
Austin Campbell on the stablecoin red flag everyone should watch for
"In stablecoins, you're promising people stability, so your job is to avoid risk at all costs if you know what you're doing. The innovation should be in the technology, not the reserves. If you're innovating in the reserves, it's probably not actually stable. Thank you Celsius, Terraform Labs, Iron"
"There's a long history of experience here. Terra never pretended they had any real asset anywhere"
"For those of you listening at home in the current era, the AI data center debt backed stablecoin and the STRC backed stablecoin will explode. On a long enough timeline, those will die"

Birb reveals her resting heart rate dropped 10 beats a minute on a GLP-1 before she lost any weight
"On the GLP-1s, I do think it's just that market penetration hasn't gotten that deep yet. Something like 1 in 10 Americans has taken a GLP-1 and we don't quite have enough data or a long enough timeline to see what the effect on the industry is going to be"
"There are all these studies coming out showing in clinical data that it's helping with people's addiction, helping with impulse control, helping with a lot of things that have nothing to do with just how much you eat"
"For me specifically, it changed a lot that had nothing to do with how I was eating. Even from the first shot, my resting heart rate dropped 10 beats a minute before I lost any weight. That's a 15% drop"

Force everyone to hold stocks long-term, and they will just hedge them on @HyperliquidX by morning.
Later today on @ValidatedPod: Out of Scope, episode 1 hits the timeline.
@Austin_Federa and @Bonecondor sit down with @AustinCampbell, the CEO and founder of @ZKZeroKnowledge and an NYU Stern lecturer, the only person to ever take a stablecoin from zero to billions and back to zero without losing anyone a dollar. Leading portfolio management and digital asset trading for, in his words, “very weird financial instruments” at JPMorgan, Citi, Stone Ridge, and Paxos has blessed him with stories and opinions you won’t forget.
It’s here! Watch me and Austin (@Austin_Federa) harass our lovely first guest, Also Austin (@austincampbell) about assassination markets, esoteric structured financial products, and legalizing insider trading

One thing I'm excellent at is taking a room full of technical conversations and dragging them wildly off-topic. Starting tomorrow*, I'm covering everything orthogonal on @ValidatedPod.

Introducing an all-new mini-series from @ValidatedPod: Out of Scope. A monthly talk show where the protocol discussion leaves the chat for a hot minute.
What is the threshold between cringeworthy and CIA-level surveillance for video call software? Could you survive being roommates with the folks in your Telegram cabal? Less technical and more fun, with hot takes the rest of us can understand.
Kicking off the series tomorrow, @Austin_Federa is joined by new co-host Tori Pastore (@Bonecondor) to feature their first-time guest Austin Campbell (@austincampbell), to question reality and answer sarcastically.
What happens when an NYU professor, a CEO, and a founder take their filter off and tell you how they really feel? Find out tomorrow. You don’t want to miss this.
