Episode notes

The chapter explores the rise of layer two solutions on Ethereum, fueled by low transaction fees and increased active wallets. It also discusses the potential integration of USDC into Ethereum's base layer, envisioning it as a major USDC chain and a potential rival to Visa in terms of payments. The conversation later shifts to meme coins, Bitcoin's halving event, the introduction of Runes on Bitcoin, and the development of a new protocol in the ecosystem.
