Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

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.
Antti Ilmanen - Understanding Return Expectations (S7E21)
Q: What motivated you to return to this topic and write something new in this series of papers?
Antti shared three main motivations: the importance of understanding actual investor expectations, the contrast between subjective and objective expectations, and the need to combat narrow-minded thinking focused solely on recent market events.
Jeff Rosenberg – The Past, Present, and Future of Systematic Fixed Income (S7E19)
Q: What problems is systematic fixed income ultimately trying to solve for the end investors?
Systematic fixed income aims to deliver diversification outcomes through alternative strategies, such as market-neutral long-short investing, especially in the context of shifting correlations between stocks and bonds.
