E107: Have You Been Involved in Tariffing Antarctica While Whales Buy Bitcoin at a Discount?
We’re deep in the spin-cycle of tariff season—Antarctica’s sanctioned, Trump’s on the links, and Larry Fink is whispering “recession” like it’s a bedtime story. Meanwhile, Satoshi whales are buying the dip, Buffett is sitting on cash like it’s 2008, and stablecoins are assembling a Treasury-bond Voltron behind the curtain. It’s all vibes until it’s policy. So… is this the decoupling?

E106: Have You Been Involved in Creating Fifteen-Million Tariffs to Lowkey Pump Yo Cryptos?
On ‘Liberation Day Eve’ our breath is baited and held… “how many of the fifteen-million purported tariffs will affect my life?” the people scream as they run to hide their seed phrases. Magic 8-ball says “FEDs signal Crypto is here and here to stay!” Bitcoin mining OK, meme-coin shilling OK, lawsuit dropping OK, and Texas Stock Exchange and subsequent geofencing OK! But if all indicators say the tailwind pushes us forward, are we actually moving forward?

First the Bitcoin ETF, then the Ethereum ETF, then the Solana ETF… but now a basket of memes ETF?

E104: Have You Been Involved with AI Agents Returning Astronauts to Earth?
SXSW was a vibe! Web3, AI, and creator economy talk ruled the scene, but no one’s saying “metaverse” anymore. Why? The tech has matured, and it’s all about ownership now. Disney, Apple, and Accenture are doubling down on immersive content, and the collaborative spirit of Web3 is alive and well. Remember Audio Galaxy? Early SXSW days meet the new AI-generated music and media landscape. Plus, the fall of format — AI’s making content fluid across platforms, and the next creative boom is already here.
