Episode notes

Base is set to launch on mainnet sometime within the next couple months. I'm just anticipating a large swath of activity on base in the months following mainnet launch. There's going to be a ton of development coming directly from the Coinbase team themselves building dapps that could potentially be monetized for them. But yeah, I do think alts over there will perform pretty well.

In today's episode, we revisit our 2023 predictions and make new predictions for 2H 2023. Tune in to find out why you should watch alts on Base, how ETH could flip BTC, DeFi's next big narrative and why Circle will eat your favorite bridge's lunch. And as always, we start with our hot seat/cool throne segment where we discuss OP unlocks, Moonpay's crash, the Celestia/Noble partnership and how MakerDAO's DSR could impact DeFi borrowing rates.
