The Rise Up Morning Show – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Send us a text

Good now, revolutionaries—

This morning, Alex and Will kick things off with a look at the latest memecoin drama on Base. As Jesse Pollak tries to spark a wave of “content coins” on Zora, the community is firing back with some serious criticism—and the guys weigh in with takes on culture, incentives, and what really makes a token meaningful.

Later, Doug drops by to talk markets, gold’s performance, and how macro trends might be shaping crypto investor psychology.

They close out the show by tackling a big one: is technical analysis real or just modern astrology?
Alex and Will bring a nuanced conversation on where TA works, when it fails, and how it fits into a broader strategy.

Tonight, Will and Alex are joined by our friend Nil from Polygon for a late-night research sesh full of insights, distractions, and deep dives.

Together, they review trending altcoins including SEI, INJ, STX, and more—breaking down recent price action, narratives, and whether any of these tokens are worth your attention right now.

But it wouldn’t be Rise Up After Dark without a few tangents. Along the way, they get into favorite research tools, crypto news of the week, and what’s top of mind across the industry—from token unlocks to trading psychology to what makes a project worth tracking long-term.

Whether you’re an active trader or just trying to level up your altcoin radar, this is a vibe-heavy episode packed with practical alpha.

In this episode of Rise Up After Dark, Evan sits down with Dylan Abruscato, cofounding creator of the award-winning, viral hit Crypto the Game—a crypto-native survival game where alliances, betrayals, and onchain mechanics collide. They explore the show's Survivor-style roots, how CTG became a cultural moment in crypto Twitter (again and again), and why building games onchain isn’t just about decentralization—but immersion, community, and fun.

Dylan reflects on the evolution of CTG through its first two seasons, what players taught him about community and mechanics, and what’s coming next in Season 3. This one’s for the builders, the storytellers, and the future contestants. 

(Oh, and the collectors--he totally nerds out with a wild story about how he got his own official Topps card)

Today on the show, Evan, Will, and Alex explore Ethereum’s next major hard fork, Pectra, and break down how EIP-7702 could change the way wallets and users interact with the network. Evan’s soundboard also gets its own “hard fork” (cue Alex: “Bullish”) for an extra dose of chaos and clarity. The guys dive into the latest Hyperliquid jelly jelly exploit, examine whether “decentralized” protocols are actually living up to their name, and offer real talk on crypto tax prep, including plans for an emergency live class to help viewers get squared away before tax day (sign up tomorrow at theRiseUpMorningShow.com). It’s a fast-paced, thoughtful episode covering the layers of tech, trust, and transparency in the web3 space.

Will has the flu so Evan & Alex are flying together--just the same guy in two different fonts, talking about how to make your way through the crypto space.

The guys talk about how to scale web3--Alex wants tokens for everything... just not those kinds of tokens; the launch of Pi Mainnet; Evan shares an idea for a Social Reading app; and they share the CPI/PPI data for the month, along with the implications before giving their final thoughts about what lies ahead for the crypto market.
