About this listen
?It’s the deep dark days of December—and suddenly Disney is cutting billion‑dollar checks to OpenAI, Mickey Mouse is roaming the metaverse, and Visa just quietly picked Solana as its stablecoin settlement rail. In this episode, Toner and BTC Ankarino break down why Bob Iger’s all‑in move on Sora might be the most important media decision of the decade, how user‑generated AI content is about to become Disney+ programming, and why exclusivity windows matter more than market prices.
From studios rediscovering vertical integration, to brands realizing they have to be media companies and banks, to Visa, Circle, and Solana building a new financial studio tower just in time for the holidays—this one connects IP, AI, crypto, payments, and power. Also: princess avatars, creator wallets, Beast coins, zero‑knowledge gift giving, and why the future looks a lot like the past… only faster.
Winter is here. The moat is being dug. Everyone’s paying attention now.
