Investing in waves. Are we talking about surfing? Are we talking about capital deployment? The answer is yes.

In this episode, Chris unpacks why he uses the term “trashy” to describe many 2022 projects (and their founders), why crypto is like surfing and how you catch a good wave, his rules for staying sober during bull and bear markets (hint: don’t fall in love with your coconuts), and finally his bull case for Solana.

Chris Burniske is a Bankless legend, making his third appearance on Bankless. He was first on three years ago for episode #20!

Bankless - Investing in Waves

The Silicon Valley tech companies have become the new banks. They hold all of our data. They control our digital identities. 

Sign-in with Ethereum is the solution. It’s one of the first steps for users to own their data across the web. Instead of logging into the platform, the platform logs into your account. You own your data. You own your identity. You have a self-sovereign, universal login for the internet. 

Wayne Chang is a researcher, the co-author of the Sign in with Ethereum (SIWE) Standard, and the co-founder and CEO of Spruce, a company that is working to grow SIWE adoption to become the standard way to log into the internet. 

Chang believes that SIWE will lead to a more sovereign, decentralized, and free internet for the world. 

Crypto is known as a technology to separate money and state. Identity is no different. 

This podcast marks the beginning of the separation of identity and state.
