  - Anyways, the people that put their ETH on the line in the name of ETH 2.0 are not speculators. Theres no product market fit here.

(TAKES) What’s on your mind?

(David) Lack of trust in institutions means there's is increasingly becoming room for people to be open to new alternatives
- 2020 has changed so many paradigms, that adopting things like Bitcoin and Ethereum just don’t seem that crazy by comparison any more.
- The common phrase that we hear all the time is that ‘trust in institutions are at an all time low
- What is Bitcoin, Ethereum, and DeFi other than new alternative institutions in which we can place our trust?
- I don't see how we are gaining trust in institutions back. I don’t see us ‘voting’ our way into a richer world. I see us adoption new institutions that can’t break our trust.
(Ryan)
- Uniswap is doing $4b per week--you can no longer say DeFi/Ethereum is useless
(Ryan) Take 1: ETH is not priced in
(Ryan) Spicy take
- We don't need a Bitcoin v2 because it already exists.
- It's called Ethereum.

What are you excited about?

David: The arrival of Ethereum 2.0 brings so many 2nd, 3rd order consequences
- ETH triple point asset thesis moves closer to the status quo.
- ETH price has an entirely new value proposition
- To this day, we still hear people citing John Pfeffers ETH investment thesis, which some in the ETH camp, us included, cited as total BS from day one (at least how it relates to ETH), but the Ethereum side of things never had any hard evidence to back it up. NOW WE DO.
- All previous unfavorable theories of ETH are defunct
Ryan: ETH as a Digital Bond (link) (link)
- investors are going to wake up to ETH as a yield asset
- Digital Bond
