Sobre o podcast
I sit down every week with the most based people in crypto. My goal is to create a safe space to have the deepest and most real conversations with the biggest builders and investors in the industry, as well as to help educate the mainstream people, politicians, celebrities and big Web2 entrepreneurs coming into Web3. Hopefully this platform does its little part in onboarding as many people as possible into the incredible world of opportunities that Web 3 offers, while staying true to crypto’s core values and ethos. Thank you for watching.

Changpeng Zhao (CZ), founder of Binance, opens up on why he's always bullish on Twitter, how a single tweet lined up with Bitcoin's 20% pump right before Trump's crypto speech, and why he believes crypto is still nowhere near saturated with less than 1% global penetration.
He also gets candid about growing up a second-generation immigrant in Canada, surviving the FTX collapse and a Binance hack, and his contrarian take on why the traditional education system is broken.

Lucas Schuermann is the founder and CEO of Variational, a peer-to-peer derivatives protocol built on Arbitrum. Former Genesis executive, former quant, and someone who went to Columbia at 12 and started a hedge fund at 20.
Today we get into why variational charges zero trading fees, how it's aggregating liquidity from traditional finance to list hundreds of assets on chain, why perps have a funding rate problem most traders don't understand until it costs them, and what happens to old-school brokers once this liquidity actually moves.

Guy Young built Ethena from zero to billions in under two years.
In this conversation, we talk about the one crypto product he believes can reach 100 million users: a yield-bearing dollar in a mobile app.
The goal is for it to feel like a normal fintech app where users don't even know crypto is powering it underneath. Just save, spend, and send to anyone in the world.

Michael Saylor is the Founder and Chairman of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), the world's largest corporate holder of Bitcoin with roughly 818,000 BTC and over $65 billion in capital.
After surviving a 99.8% stock collapse that left his company three days from bankruptcy, he rebuilt it into a "reserve bank for Bitcoin" - issuing products like STRC that pay an 11.5% monthly dividend, tax-deferred.
In this episode, he breaks down how to build lasting, passive wealth with Bitcoin, why he believes there's no second best in crypto, and why working hard may be the worst financial advice you can follow.
