The Plan for Ethereum to Flip Bitcoin with Etherealize's Grant Hummer

Ethereum has always been the foundation for the next financial system.

Amanda Cassatt sits down with Grant Hummer, co-founder of Etherealize, to explore why Ethereum continues to be misunderstood, especially by institutions, and what it will take to change that.

They go deep on Ethereum’s cultural and economic DNA, from early narrative missteps to what makes ETH uniquely positioned to dominate tokenization and programmable finance. Grant explains why rollups matter, how proof-of-stake has changed the game, and what Ethereum’s endgame could look like if it wins.

Then they turn to Bitcoin. Grant lays out the case for why BTC, despite its mythology, faces real threats from its security model to the looming problem of quantum resistance. As Ethereum continues evolving while Bitcoin stands still, what happens next?

This episode makes one thing clear: Ethereum isn’t playing catch-up, it’s playing for keeps.
