Eoin Fitzgerald and Pete Townsend riff on the aftermath of the Ethereum Merge, some pandas and goofy songs, an early-morning Bankless live stream of the Merge, and critically, a 99% more energy-efficient blockchain. We also look at the new Revolut BNPL product live in Ireland, two new funding deals that a16z did on this side of the pond in Sequence and Sardine, opportunities for Bored Yacht owners, and how it feels like 2002 all over again with builders still building.
