| William Quigley on Crypto Cults, the Virtue of Big Ideas, How Banks Will (or Won’t) Use Blockchain & A Whale of a Hypothetical | Ep 386 | 09 oct. 2025 | 01:35:00 | |
Goodnow revolutionaries– Evan and Alex open with their outlook for SOL and ETH in the week ahead, then welcome back our favorite returning guest—William Quigley. We get his take on the current state of the markets, stablecoins, and the hype surrounding XRP (and why crypto cults just aren’t worth it). William shares insights into how banks and institutions might adopt—or bypass—decentralized blockchains, and we explore the different paths businesses might take toward real-world adoption. Then, we throw him a hypothetical: what would he do if he were our friend the White Whale, ready to make a splash in investing? William gives sage advice before he & Alex trade scuba diving stories, literally, "from the depths." Finally, we close with everyone’s Bitcoin price predictions through year’s end and a discussion about why conversations like this—between people with curiosity, conviction, and ideas about the future—are what keep us excited.

| Bullying in Crypto + How to Create NFTs in 2025, & If Satoshi’s Wallet Moved, What Would Happen to Bitcoin? | Ep 385 | 09 oct. 2025 | 01:33:06 | |
Goodnow revolutionaries– Web3101 Wednesday opens with a conversation about culture—tackling the bullying problem on social media, how creators and companies can tell a better story, and what communities (like PizzaDAO) get right about collaboration and generosity. We answer your crypto questions about how to vet tokens and the skills you need to safely buy obscure tokens from decentralized exchanges (plus a few cautionary tales from our own early DeFi adventures). We also cover how to participate in decentralized finance to earn yields that outperform traditional banks, discuss Coinbase One’s updated USDC yield policy (and how we almost—but not quite—got the details right--link below has the details), and explore how NFTs work—from creation to use cases that go far beyond digital art. Finally, we ask the big questions: what would happen if Satoshi Nakamoto’s wallet suddenly came online? And which cryptocurrencies do we actually believe in for the long term—and why?

Goodnow revolutionaries– Even when there’s no Will, there’s still a way. Evan and Alex take your crypto questions for a ride on a night of deep altcoin exploration—covering audience picks Polyswarm, TAO, XCL, Tezos, and more--showing you what's behind the boom on Binance (BNB, Aster, Cake, and memecoins galore) and the shortage of tokens on exchanges right now. A listener question about Zcash sparks a discussion on privacy coins—why they’re more important than ever in the digital age—and the looming November 22 ISO20022 deadline invites a question to separate reality from hype. We also unpack the top driver of token price, the risks of presales (and why we never buy them), and use our favorite tools along the way—like Debridge, Coinglass, Messari, Coingecko, Tokenomist, and more you can use in your crypto research. Plus, Alex pitches a brilliant idea for (trust us)... a $0.17 POAP Join our free community for after-shows, Q&A, and live crypto talk at community.rumshq.com ⸻ 🔗 LINKS

Goodnow revolutionaries— Today we host our friend Jon Libby (0xJibby) from Gauntlet for a masterclass in DeFi curation.

Along the way, he shares his own journey in crypto (including early yield farming experiments with PoolTogether) and explains how leveraged looping works, how smart contracts handle defaults, and how curators like Gauntlet make it easier for people like us to participate in DeFi at scale. Then, things take a turn for the ridiculous as Will and Evan review submissions for the community’s "Silly TA Contest"—entries ranged from a BIO Gator, “Fartman,” and “Kaspa Gene Simmons" (aka KISSPA).

We talk through the sin of “borrowing conviction” (and other Apex Predator strategies observed by our friend the White Whale), fielded audience questions about handling gains and losses at tax time, and took another look at Alex’s vibe-coded Blockchain Basecamp app with its built-in tax calculator. And Will? He dropped a silly TA challenge you can jump in on right now—with $100 up for grabs. 👉 Join the Rise Up community to keep the conversation going, learn with us, and win alongside friends: https://community.rumshq.com LINKS:
