Dave highlighted that 87 percent of total stablecoin supply sits on Ethereum, and questioned how the chain could not be seen as critical financial infrastructure. NatNat agreed Ethereum plays an important role for stablecoins and smart contracts. Landy said Ethereum is not going anywhere because institutions value its liquidity, and it serves as the base for EVM compatible chains even though Layer 2 greed has caused current problems.

Ryan explained Trump Accounts as a new savings vehicle with massive compounding potential that replaces failing Social Security, and noted companies like Bank of America and SpaceX are participating with contributions and matching. Dave and Ryan stressed that parents with kids under 18 or planning to have children should sign up because it is capitalism and free money, with one newborn potentially reaching 13 million dollars by age 55. Landy added that the accounts allow extra annual contributions beyond Roth IRA caps with no earned income required, and that adults can also open them with conversion options to regular IRA then Roth.

“If that is the case, how is it possible that Ethereum is not considered, like, insanely important financial infrastructure at this point if 87% of, like like, overall freaking stablecoin supply sits on the chain.”
