The Return of ICO’s, ETH’s Issuance Tinkering & DeFi Drama

The conversation revolves around two main themes: investment clubs and ETH issuance. The discussion on investment clubs focuses on the adverse selection problem and the potential benefits and drawbacks of using platforms like Echo and Legion for fundraising and community building. The conversation on ETH issuance explores the proposal to change the ETH issuance curve and the arguments for and against it. The participants also touch on the challenges faced by larger funds in the crypto space and the impact of stake rates on the moneyness of ETH. The conversation revolves around the recent developments in the MakerDAO ecosystem, particularly the introduction of the Ethena stablecoin and the controversy surrounding it. The hosts discuss the impact of Ethena on stablecoin yields and the overall DeFi market. They also touch on the feud between MakerDAO and Aave, as well as the potential risks and benefits of MakerDAO's plans to split into sub-daos and launch new tokens. The conversation highlights the competition among protocols to attract capital by offering higher yields and the importance of understanding the risks and reflexivity of these systems.
