When Your Wallet Needs a Marie Kondo Moment: GM Farcaster ep279 Wednesday, August 20, 2025   From our ChatGPT Intern: The crew kicked things off by realizing they forgot to actually announce the show, detoured into Dan’s Nancy Meyers–worthy summer photos, and fumbled their way through some new soundboard antics. In between the chaos, they managed to cover shiny new Farcaster token pages, wallet upgrades, and even a crypto “Kondo” app for tidying up your digital junk drawer.  Full Show Notes and Links on YouTube.   Copyright 2025 cc-by GM Farcaster - reuse/remix allowed with attribution and link back to GMFarcaster.com.  NOTE: Cryptocurrencies are often volatile assets.

(And the Clankermonsurvived the dungeon with your tips!)  From our ChatGPT Intern: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey’s engagement broke the internet and the polymarket, whileFarcaster folks argued whether being “happy in love” is actually a fantasy football stat booster.

So much happening in the Clanker Universe we could’ve chattedfor hours!  From our ChatGPT Intern: Clanker’s creators crashed GM Farcaster with stories of QR code auctions, sneaker flexes, and surprise stream takeovers, proving once again that crypto conferences are equal parts hackathon and circus.

26: Cyan Banister - A Fool’s Dérive

Cyan Banister (Website, X, Substack) is an investor, artist, and co-founder and General Partner of Long Journey Ventures. Previously, Cyan spent four years at Founders Fund and has a legendary angel investing track record alongside her husband, Scott, including early rounds in SpaceX, Uber, and DeepMind.Cyan is as original as they come: she grew up on a Navajo reservation and was homeless by 15, with a series of unlikely serendipitous moments combined with optimism, agency, and love of capitalism taking her to a very different life than the one she grew up with. I focused this conversation not on Cyan's work, but her unique approach to living.We begin with Cyan’s “church”: a weekly visit to see Bobby McFerrin and co. do live, jazz acapella in Berkeley, CA. We discuss how this space ties to presence, openness, and play, and then talk about the tension between novelty and consistency as she continues on her own path toward self-love and mindfulness. She also tells me about her radical approach to accountability and the empowering results of assuming that everything is her fault.One of Cyan's favorite words is the French dérive, or an intentional drift, and it embodies her approach to the world. She moves with childlike wonder, seeking to see things and people from new perspectives and challenging others to react beyond their default settings. She daydreams about the outcomes she wants and has remarkable conviction and faith even when others do not believe her.We wrap with a grab bag representative of Cyan's diverse interests, from filmmaking and performance art to the US Constitution to Bill Murray. Cyan manages to combine randomness and intentionality, naiveté and sober-minded awareness, humility and conviction. I hope you are are as inspired as I am to live more playfully, seriously, and courageously.Full transcript is available at https://dialectic.fm/cyan-banisterTimestamps0:01:23: Intro0:03:45: Cyan's "Church"0:16:21: Stillness, Mindfulness, and Introspection0:28:47: Learning to See in Original Ways0:39:38: People: When the "Light is On," "Collecting Minds," and Conjuring Friends0:46:55: Cultivating Childlike Joy and Refusing to be a Victim0:52:30: Radical Accountability0:56:28: Randomness, Faith, and Experimentation1:06:22: Conviction and Peter Thiel1:12:54: Returning to Seed Investing and Long Journey Ventures1:18:23: Thoughts on Art1:23:42: Performance Art1:26:37: Cyan's Creative Projects1:32:51: Boredom1:36:06: Living Around Elderly People1:42:14: Pete Buttigieg1:45:57: Being a Role Model1:48:26: Young People's Future1:52:46: Scott Banister and Lessons for Her Kids1:55:35: "It Just Doesn't Matter" And Who Pulls the StringsKey LinksCyan - by Kevin Gee and Dan Scott - Cloud ValleyCyan Banister — From Homeless and Broke to Top Angel Investor - Tim FerrissInvesting for a Higher Purpose - Invest like the BestBobby McFerrinUniversity of Texas at Austin 2014 Commencement Address - Admiral William H.

27: Mackenzie Burnett - Accounting for America

Mackenzie Burnett (Website, X) is the co-founder and CEO of Ambrook, financial software for independent businesses starting with farms and ranches. We trace her arc from a policy-first upbringing (USDA household, Congressional internships, climate-security research at Stanford) to a building software for rural America. We talk about why Mackenzie loves America and cares about agriculture, the challenges of aligning sustainability with business and government, and pragmatically building resilience. Mackenzie talks about the American Dream and why independent small businesses are the foundation of it in many ways.Then we get into Ambrook’s product philosophy: why “all roads lead to accounting,” how multi-P&Ls and biological inventories make farms deceptively complex, and why understanding bookkeeping and money movement enables better decision making and understanding over the long run for big and small businesses.We also talk through Mackenzie's broad ambition for Ambrook; her growth as a leader; brand, aesthetics, and environment; Ambrook's editorially independent research division, Offrange, and more. Mackenzie is one of the most quietly ambitious and focused people I've met, and yet under her impressive and serious exterior is a life and love for America and its people that is all heart.Special thanks to Josh Kale for his help producing this episode.---Full transcript and all links: https://dialectic.fm/mackenzie-burnett---Timestamps00:01:11 Intro00:02:51: The American Heartland00:05:21: Agriculture, Policy, and Government00:12:29: The Challenges with Prioritizing Climate Risk: "Long Term and Abstract"00:18:04: Pragmatic Environmentalism and Resilience that Drives Business00:21:49: The American Dream00:25:52: The Importance of Independent Small Businesses00:28:58: Entrepreneurship on the Frontier: America's First Entrepreneurs and Ambrook's First Customers -- Farmers00:36:28: Biological Factories: Why Farms are Complex Businesses00:40:41: Why Everything Goes Back to Accounting00:44:30: Why Money Movement Matters00:51:13: Ambrook as a Twenty-Year Container00:57:27: The National Importance of Agriculture01:00:49: The Features of Illegibility01:04:49: Ambrook's Long Term Vision01:10:17: Making the Intractable Tractable (And Doomscrolling Your Company's Slack)01:14:42: De-Risking and Becoming Friends with Anxiety01:17:26: Building Something That Takes on a Life of its Own01:20:07: Ambrook's Culture in Three Words01:21:26: Brand and Storytelling01:26:11: AI Enabling the Middle Class01:30:57: California History and J.G.

Which Types of Crypto Assets Make for Good Treasury Companies?

In this episode of Unchained, Guy Young, founder of Ethena Labs, and Rob Hadick, general partner at Dragonfly, unpack the emerging wave of Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs) and why altcoins may be the next to follow Bitcoin and Ethereum onto public markets. They explain why StablecoinX, a new infrastructure company within the Ethena ecosystem, is merging with a SPAC to go public on Nasdaq under the ticker “USDE,” anchoring its treasury with Ethena’s ENA token.  With $360 million in backing from investors like Dragonfly, Ribbit, Galaxy, and Polychain, the deal is testing whether public equity markets are ready for altcoin-native treasuries. Guy and Rob also discuss why some crypto wrapper stocks are trading at massive premiums, how capital gets misallocated in crypto, and whether ETH staking rewards represent real yield or just inflation.  They debate whether this trend is creating lasting infrastructure or just new packaging for old narratives.

We unpack why Ethereum the network is best positioned to serve global demand for stablecoins, its current dominance in stablecoin liquidity, how ETH’s status as a reserve asset and store of value is accelerating with demand for stablecoins, and why holding ETH may be the easiest, simplest way to get exposure to stablecoin growth over the next decade. ------ 🔗 Essential Show Links 🔗 ► Newsletter: https://the-edge.xyz ► Youtube: https://youtube.com/@DeFiDad ► Apple: https://tinyurl.com/edgepod ► Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/edgepodspotify ► Linktree: https://linktr.ee/edge_pod ► Follow DeFi Dad: https://x.com/DeFi_Dad ► Follow Nomatic: https://x.com/Nomaticcap ► Learn DeFi: http://defidad.com/ ------ The Edge Podcast Sponsor Resources ♦️⁠ REDSTONE⁠ | THE LEADING MODULAR BLOCKCHAIN ORACLE https://www.redstone.finance/ ♉︎ TOROS | EXPONENTIAL GAINS WITH LEVERAGED TOKENS https://toros.finance/ 🥞 SYRUPUSDC BY MAPLE | DEFI'S PREMIUM YIELD ASSET https://app.maple.finance/earn?referral=Mig0gHP59IYC 🦅 ⁠FALCON⁠ | OVERCOLLATERIZED SYNTHETIC DOLLAR - POINTS PROGRAM NOW LIVE https://app.falcon.finance?r=0ec4ccafcd94a7756710278ebfd7dd4b ⚡ ⁠SPARK⁠ | THE ONCHAIN CAPITAL ALLOCATOR https://link.spark.fi/Defi_Dad 🏦 MANTLE | INNOVATING THE FUTURE OF ONCHAIN FINANCE https://group.mantle.xyz/ ⚙️ GEARBOX PROTOCOL | ONCHAIN LENDING REIMAGINED https://gearbox.fi/ 🐡⁠ PUFFER UNIFI⁠ | A BASED ROLLUP TO ETHEREUM WITH NATIVE YIELDS https://www.puffer.fi/unifi 📈⁠ RUMPEL⁠ | TURN POINTS INTO PROFITS https://www.rumpel.xyz/ ------ Timestamps 0:00 - Intro 5:36 - Background on Electric Capital 7:21 - Why write this Ethereum stablecoin report 9:29 - Outsized demand globally for dollar-pegged stablecoins 10:59 - Why Ethereum is the best network for stablecoin demand 15:48 - The value of decentralization on Ethereum 22:52 - Sponsor break 24:02 - How ETH becomes a reserve asset and SoV 27:29 - ETH DATs accelerating demand for ETH 30:27 - Beginning to connect ETH and stablecoin growth 36:02 - Sponsor break 37:39 - Challenges to replicate Ethereum’s stablecoin flywheel 44:10 - Risks to Electric Capital’s thesis for ETH 48:25 - The role of L2s in the Ethereum stablecoin flywheel 50:41 - Closing ------ 🔗 Guest Links 🔗 ► Electric Capital website: https://www.electriccapital.com/ ► Beyond Stablecoins, The Case for Ethereum Report: https://electriccapital.substack.com/p/beyond-stablecoins-the-case-for-ethereum ► Electric Capital on X: https://x.com/electriccapital ► Maria on X: https://x.com/mariashen ► Sanjay on X: https://x.com/sanjaypshah ------ All opinions expressed by hosts and podcast guests are solely their own opinions.
