Michael Nadeau is in your brain, dude.

Yes.

Yes.

David, we're going to talk about the digital dollar and what is it?

It's Fidelity's digital dollar, I should say.

And which blockchain are they deploying to?

You're going to tell me about the MegaEth mainnet and some of their performance that they've had and OpenAI's plan for WorldCoin.

What is Sam Altman doing?

We'll talk about all that and more.

But before we do, we want to thank the sponsors that made this episode possible.

Yeah, I think Simon Taylor, he's a fintech expert with stablecoin expertise.

He's got a good perspective on this.

He says Fidelity, the $6.8 trillion shadow bank, he calls them a shadow bank, just entered the chat, the stablecoin battle, I should say.

FIDD launching in February on Ethereum.

And he actually concludes that the banks, the existing incumbent banks, shouldn't be worried about Circle and Tether so much as they should be worried about Fidelity.

Because Fidelity is not a bank.

It's an asset manager.

But now it can do bank things?

Yes, it can do bank things.

And Fidelity is somewhat like BlackRock too.
