Welcome back, fearless Ethereum enjoyooors to another episode of ZEROPOD. And this episode is a special one because it is actually the very first podcast appearance by the elusive figure known only as 0xDeployer aka Big Daddy Ham, the creator of so many things but most recently the breakout success Bankr, an in-feed ai agent that can trade for you using natural language on X and Farcaster.Hosts Toady Hawk and JackWyldes dig in with Deployer to hear about his childhood, his crypto journey and the exhaustive lineage of all his projects leading up to Bankr, including The LP, TN100X, Hamchain and more. We learn that he taught himself to code from a book at Barnes & Noble, we hear about how he first bought Ethereum at $80 (and sold it at $90), and we get some exclusive alpha like the fact that he has a secret Bankr cofounder and fancies himself a glamper.

All this and more, we hope you enjoy! If you do enjoy our content, please rate our pod 5 Stars to help us reach more people on this app.
