  • Is Michael Saylor Insane? Plus Alex's Double Rant Special | Ep 427

    Is Michael Saylor Insane? Plus Alex's Double Rant Special | Ep 427
    Dec 22 2025

    Goodnow revolutionaries–

    Evan returns to the morning show ready for Christmas week and joins Alex in answering your crypto questions—starting with what is Flare and what's it have to do with XRP?

    We say hi to friend Myk, the founder of Wishlist (granting wishes and dressing like Santa onstream all holiday).

    Alex has (count 'em) not 1, but 2 rants—rate them on the Salt Meter in the comments.

    A listener asks "Do you think Michael Saylor is insane?" and we discuss controversial figures like Saylor and Tom Lee.

    We talk about our predictions for 2026 (RWA looking pretty good here) and welcome friend of the show Ubereatsguy to talk about a scam email he received and what to do to protect the assets in his Tangem wallet.

    We discuss Senator Cynthia Lummis' announcement that she won't run for office again.

    We end the show by thanking friend & FARMS founder Jillian Hishaw for her holiday gifts.

    Alex Answers Every Single Question in This Marathon Session: Lawsuits, XRP, and What Works | Ep 426
    Dec 18 2025

    Goodnow revolutionaries–

    Alex flies solo today and tackles every single question you throw at him in a marathon Q&A session.

    Gauntlet manages risk for DeFi protocols the same way banks assess loans—except it's happening on-chain with real protocols like Aave and Compound.

    The cold wallet versus hot wallet debate gets settled once and for all. Stop trying to make warm wallets happen. Use cold storage to hold, use hot wallets to actually do stuff.

    Everyone's freaking out about the Solana lawsuit naming Jito and Pump.Fun, but here's the thing: it alleges the exact same practices traditional finance runs on every single day. Alex breaks down why this isn't the doomsday scenario people think.

    XRP questions keep flooding in and the answers are honest. Not hate, just facts about what the token actually does and why some of these price predictions make zero sense.

    Liquid staking tokens get explained from scratch—why JitoSOL exists, what it represents, and how restaking works without the jargon.

    Plus: Polkadot parachains get a deep dive, UK tries to cap stablecoins, and centralized exchanges get defended (yes, really).
