Born and raised in North Carolina. Trained in software and crypto economics. Co-founded Bankless with Ryan Sean Adams in 2019 — at first a podcast and newsletter, now one of the most-cited media brands in the Ethereum ecosystem.
Hoffman is the one most likely, on any given episode, to explain why a protocol matters at the level of monetary premium and long-term economic architecture. His framing of ETH as money, as a productive asset, and as the foundation of a parallel financial system, has shaped how a generation of investors thinks about the space.
Bankless has grown into a full media company, an investment DAO, and an education platform. Hoffman's long-form essays remain the clearest writing in the business.
