Bitcoin’s holding steady, Ethereum is pressing forward — but the bigger story is how financial advisors have been locked out of crypto for years, just as the rails of DeFi have proven themselves. In this episode, I dig into why that lockdown is cracking, why scams were mostly born in TradFi, and how crypto has survived and evolved. Then we look ahead to September 3rd, when Ondo Finance brings U.S. stocks directly onto Ethereum — a milestone I’m calling “Ethereum’s Fed Meeting.” Finally, I close with a full breakdown of Prompt, the AI agent from Wayfinder. We’ll compare it to Bankrbot, Coinbase’s execution bot of choice, and unpack why Coinbase Ventures is hedging its bets by backing both.

Netflix says “Netflix and Chill.” Ben & Jerry’s says “Netflix and Chill’d.” But what’s really left? Endless scrolling through movies you’ve already seen, just repackaged with new thumbnails. And when you do land on something, it’s often a comedian dropping a thousand “likes” and f-bombs trying to win the crowd. In this episode, I riff on culture’s lazy loops—how companies sell us novelty by recycling the old—and what that says about attention, creativity, and value today.

Wholecoiners aren’t the ones stacking now — they’re the ones who will try to. The theory is that a generation raised on the American Dream of owning a home will soon replace it with the dream of owning one Bitcoin. But when they finally step up, they’ll face sticker shock. At six figures and climbing, the wholecoin dream won’t deliver what they expect. In this episode, I explain why wholecoiners will only get half of what’s coming, and why the other half lives in overlooked infrastructure plays like Band — the rails that AI agents and crypto markets will run on in Vaultseason.
