Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Annanay Kapila – Perpetual Futures Everywhere and All the Time (S7E24)
Q: What are the biggest risks associated with perpetual futures?
The primary risks include market manipulation, liquidity issues, and potential liquidation cascades if users are excessively leveraged.
Annanay Kapila – Perpetual Futures Everywhere and All the Time (S7E24)
Q: What makes a perpetual future distinct from standard expiring futures?
Perpetual futures are essentially auto-rolling contracts that do not have an expiration, providing continuous trading opportunities and flexibility in margin management.
Vladimir Novakovski – Lighter: The Orderbook for all of Ethereum (S7E22)
Q: Why choose an L2 on Ethereum versus launching your own standalone specialized L1?
Building on Ethereum gives us the most secure L1 and the composability needed for decentralized finance, which we couldn't replicate with a standalone L1.
Vladimir Novakovski – Lighter: The Orderbook for all of Ethereum (S7E22)
Q: What might DeFi look like if composability really takes hold?
Specialized rollups like LIDAR could become the backbone of an on-chain financial system rather than just another venue for speculation.
Antti Ilmanen - Understanding Return Expectations (S7E21)
Q: Why do you think investors persistently misattribute growth to the US equity market?
Antti believes there is human laziness in interpreting numbers, but acknowledges that there has been a historical US growth edge, which led people to incorrectly extrapolate valuations.
