About this listen
Goodnow revolutionaries—
Will's in the mountains of Maine catching fireball nips from strangers in overalls. Just another Wednesday.
Aave founder Stani Kulechov dropped $30M on a Notting Hill mansion. Meanwhile, Vitalik says most L2s are unnecessary—and Will agrees. As Ethereum mainnet gets faster and cheaper, what happens to the chains that only sell "we're faster and cheaper"?
Then Alex accidentally starts the Great XRP Debate by sharing a Gusto x Solana payments headline. Cue the fireworks. Why isn't XRP as valuable as Solana when it's talked about more? What would change our minds about XRP? And what's the difference between utility and actual usefulness?
Plus: Will there be an altcoin season in 2026? Short answer—don't hitch your wagon to a horse that's driving off a cliff.
