Crypto and GlitterÂ
New ‘Sode: Good Evening from Wyoming. Land and of #Jesus of Horses and Bitcoin. In my Balmain riding boots, racist politics, and family values- nanny included, I feel right at home in my #PhilippeStarck designed Cabin. I come thrice a year anyway to Senator Lummis' home armed with #PerrierJouet and impeccably rolled joints to talk cattle and stack statsAlas, I am on a horrific crypto bachelorette trip for a 'friend's' 3rd marriage. This group of Bera TradFi Baddies also includes the Princess of Wales, who just turned #10, she's forgoing the Bikini wax and the How- to -Inside Trade on- the -Ranch lecture by Ken Lay. My friend is marrying the CEO of #Ethena, the only one who has made any real money in this spiderweb3 since Hayden Adams. Fear not, we are invalidating her prenup by tokenizing it on #Hyperliquid. Princess' security wore a DOLCE&GABBANA Bored Ape T-shirt and sold at the bottom. He has a soothing voice and read Friedrich Hayek's Road to Serfdom to me at the foot of my bed before I fell asleep without any sexual tension. I have no idea what Ethena does; my quant says that its a synthetic dollar built on ETH which provides a crypto-native solution for money. Mon Dieu! If this is how she is funding her custom made Valentino gown than wrap that synthetic chemical algorithm acid all over my face. As for the ETH, I thought everyone dumped it for Gold and or for a timeshare in Guantanamo Bay.I digress, my guest today is Kelley Weaver; the White Olivia Pope of Crypto PR. We met at a sober* Law of Attraction -Manifestation -Visualization-Meditation Retreat for beautiful women who like Manolo's and good looking men when Bitcoin was 100 dollars. I dismissed it and instead bought a f*ck ton of #OXGI, but Biotech stocks are always a manipulated bust worse than memes. Lesson learned. Manifest. Bitcoin. Support the show
New Sode; .Ok so picture this; I am at a sleepover. Cucumbers on eyes. Politically incorrect Avocado mask to the face. Reading the Bitcoin whitepaper alongside the female clown that I invited to Suite at the 4 Seasons from stepchild's birthday party. We smoked a bedazzled joint and stacked Sats. It was To the backdrop of Chopin in E minor. It's a good day to be alive when you're buying Bitcoins smoking with a clown who also voted Trump. We then ordered room service and danced to Taylor Swift Speak Now. And though it is a different album, it should be noted that We are never ever ever ever ever buying NFTsIn the morning I went to the Salon downstairs to contemplate my vapid existence and a pedicure. . I chose the toe polish color I trampled my husband with my Maserati Sha 256. A silvery fiat color. So I can give my lover, my driver, an elegant footjob under the table at Raos. Suddenly I felt better or maybe it was the quaalude. In 90s chanel,in a quaalude haze in the massage chair turned on high and and sats settled into wallet, I turned to the clown and asked if she would accept Bitcoin as payment. Cash only she said; Dont' you want money that cant be tampered with thats portable and fungible and liquid gold? No said the Clown. Give me the Cash. Alas, if clowns and pot dealers are no longer taking BTC what's a wannabe cracked out social climbing alcoholic manic bipolar shoplifting porn/birkin addicted gal to do? Sigh, I took out a crumpled hundred that I had taped with blue glitter and paid. I trudged to the Lexus and met step daughter at music class. Insert the tambourine. Insert Raffi. If the clown cannot understand the future of Ai infused quantum sound money then who's the clown now?I digress. My guest today is Russian Ukrainian Californian Jewish Royalty Tatiana Koffman author of the book the Myth of Money. I didnt read it; but I bought it for the aesthetic. Tatiana has an envious career histoire and currently is a partner at MoonWalker Capital. She is Bitcoin only and everything else is complete Poubelle, that's french for garbage. I thought Moonwalker meant she jad walked on the moon and had alien diet secrets;No. But. She is relatable due to her witnessing of the collapse of the Soviet Union, her friendship with Richard Branson and her time spent with Billionaire crypto bros in Dubai. I just knew we would be dear friends. Tatiana and I met on a chair lift in Gstaad and we orange pilled each other and the rest is histoire. "Had I read Tatiana's book , I would imagine it is one of resilience, strength, and hope."But luckily I know she's a great story teller and you will too. In fact her story is filled with just enough glitz- glamour- spirituality- fraud- crypto celebrity and quantitative easy easing that would make any kind yet vapid party girl almost pick up a book. I am indeed her new stalker. XOXO GlitterLedger. Support the show
New Sode; DAS is (not so) GOOD. I am involved' with a new CEO of an AI x Crypto project that is a copy French pasta of Fetch AI that accomplishes nothing dragged me from Gstaad to the filth of New York City Midtown for Digital Asset Summit but he promised me a J12 and PaxG if I was good. Obviously I was not. My Proof of Work is that I did not do any. Alas, I felt like John Mayer wandering through the halls of the Javits Center, wanting to scream at the top of my lungs, there is just no such thing. Is there no more deeply offensive question than “What are you excited about in crypto right now?” Such a statement to me indicates you cannot differentiate wine varietals, do not have a subscription to Barrons and your porn collection is not international. In veritas- I'm excited about its impending doom to smithereens with a side order of Depinned Tokenized Real world perps all over my body on a new L2 rolled up on SUI on an AI bot money laundered on a hooker in Miami at the Penthouse in the Faena. Alas, the plethora of stupidity within the web3 ecosystem continues to amaze and inspire me to pivot to something real and pure, like Tether.But I digress. My guest today is the striking barbie doll former Duchess of the Surf Lodge turned career crypto Degen Ms Jessica Rossman. Do not be fooled by her French manicure and blonde tresses; her pipeline is longer than your term sheet as well as your you know what. I have been a fan of Jessica since the Bush administration, and how could you not, what with her Jewish persuasion, pithy vocabulary, her ana Kate Moss high cheekbones, Bera Baddy accessories and her ability to have every low tier L2 founder salivating at her feet for a .. job at any waking side event- is where her magic only beginsHer illustrious career began where every good story should, working for Diet Queen Tanya Zuckerbrot Dietician to the star as her diamond right hand where Louboutins and size 0 was the office aesthetic, much like Binance.. As a wannabe elitist rich skinny bitch like yours truly, I followed Jessica's every move and every bite in an attempt to have the lifestyle that I deserved . Until of course, she was horrifically wrongly accused of being an ADHD pill frontrunner of Ms. Zuckerbrots entire operation by the Diet world's SBF equivalent named Emily Gellis in a Federal Lawsuit in a pathetic attempt to take Queen Zuckerbrot down. Luckily, like SBF, Emily did not succeed and Jessica escaped unscathed reputation intact and found salvation in being a hot Degen girl in crypto alongside the wisdom to know that the truth, like code, and like Trust Fund always prevail. Jessica now serves as the Business Development Lead at Kadena, a Proof of Work Token that horizontally scales. Jessica is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to conference survival tips, Degen trading, Panel outfits, telegram organization, not letting Federal lawsuits get you down, and most importantly that routine is the death of any existence. Most importantly, Jessica stands by that it is harder to get off the waitlist for a Birkin than to understand building on Kadena.
New Sode': Bonsoir from me and my AI Agent in my suite in Gstaad. My agent serves a dual position. 1 securing me as an Extra on this season's white Lotus as the kind hooker and 2 meme coin trades on my behalf so that I have extra spending money to fix stepson's embarrassing backhand. A true crypto use case.As I sip my Cote Du Rhone, listening to Tosca kill herself while watching my ETH stagnate, I am hesitant to call Vitalik and ask him to kindly make ETH seem a little more gangster, like a character that should appear on #The Wire, but then I thought against it, as his mother and I are still in a fight but I am much younger. I reflect the fact that conference season is upon us. I have many grievances with Ethereum Foundation Denver and thus I will not be attending and instead will be getting high on Liquid Staking Derivatives in a melange of the ever expanding Solana ecosystem in the confines of my own imagination. My grievances with the EF U are too long that my quill pen will run out before I can front run my trades and My Bulimic MEV bot will no longer be rendered silent. Ipso facto let's start with Denver for the time being; My grievances include but are not limited toNo get lip injectionsNo Museums that carry any Impressionists/Surrealists art its policy that I cannot bring my Bedazzled Ak47 into any Panel for my own safety. I digress;My guest today is Hadley Stern a prominent Figure, formerly of the morally corrupt Traditional Finance ecosystem who marinated himself into Marinade. What is Marinade? Well, it's a marketplace much like a Bazaar in Turkey where you can get oodles and boodles of yield on your Solana safely and sexily. We have a very serious discussion that is actually interesting because Hadley has been in the space long enough to know how to explain cryptomatic themes without driving his audience to drink cyanide out of boredom or confusion. I have been a long time stalker of Hadley's ever since he graced the podcast of #OntheBrink when I stumbled upon this podcast thinking I was going to listen to an episode about how to grapple with mental health due to my unresolved feelings of my ex-husband when in fact he explained how Staking indeed enhances security and injects a new economic layer into the crypto ecosystem. This ep resolved my feelings towards my ex. Hadley is an expert leader of teams and also skilled in how to handle the relentless crypto-paparazzi.As such he provided me with some much needed media training before my stint as a guest on the Real Housewives of North Korea. He has become more than a colleague but not in a Bizarre we need to call HR way, like in normal circumstances concerning me and HR, but in a way that he is my friend and my marinated Solana guru. He is also hella Fun and it is a crying shame that yet another crypto bro remains off the market. #Marinade #Glitter Ledger.
Good evening I am back and Oh how I have missed..... most of you. I am pleased to announce that I have officially joined a new crypto company as a paid non paid intern.. I accidentally landed some new employment that I found on Discord when I thought I was logging into my very expensive porn account. Alas. It is a privilege to be thrust into an industry responsible for banking the unbanked and unnecessary.To be clear, it is not that I need a job, it was just that I need funding outside of my dwindling Trustfund to support my chronic Degenerate memecoin and Christian Louboutin addiction side ordered with usual sessions with Psychic Derek on Rodeo Drive, who btw says Ethereum is a boomer chain.I digress. Lets start from the beginning. I realized I needed employment for money that I did not want to ask my husband for.I realize crypto fixes this. Yet I had no legitimate interests other than Rich people and scams. I am indeed creepto native. I've made out with Do Kwon at the Four Seasons Lobby Permissionless 2017, and I can deposit $1000 dollars of my husband's money into my Kraken account to buy Pax Gold hashtag Tokenize Atangonize. I digress.My guest today is Sir Joseph Cox, who's cobalt blue collar background and lack of cartilage in his nose goes well with his startlingly romantic understanding of literature and Patricidicial Operas. He is our White Knight Sam Bankman Fried meets the rough and tough Mark Wahlberg Wrestler of our crypto generation who can reference opera, Volatility, and can beatup a thug on the subway in the same breadth. C'est sexy. C'est scary. With his keen mathematical mind and rampantly stringent approach to risk, Joseph and his team at Valmar do a lot of things at Valmar to manage crypto funds that I do not understand. They do not use Discord. Joseph and I met on the jury of the Karen Read trials in January of 2022 late night at the Ritz hotel in Boston, over dirty martinis pouring over the witness' neighbors text messages while talking opera and Solana, utterly convinced of her guilt and her innocence and her guilt and then back again, much like how the jurors of OJ Simpson must have felt. Joe despite his cobalt blue collar background, has built himself up to the creme da la creme of the glitterati of crypto hedge fund knowledge and success and it was a pleasure for him to grace Headquarters. I look forward to returning to Jury. See you at the St. Regis. #GlitterLedger
New ‘Sode. Alas, as I sit polishing my ninja green Birkin bag buckle, alone after being dumped by a ParaFI partner, I ponder what went wrong in 2024 in Glitter and Crypto. There was the horrifying misunderstanding at Neiman Marcus ETH Denver that resulted in my shoplifting misdemeanor, the disappointing lack of staking in the ETH ETF that left most of my circle lightly slitting their wrists to the soundtrack of Usher Let it Burn, NFTs left completely out of the ERA's tour, Caroline Ellison's refusal to wear anything cute at her trial, . I am high on AI generated meth with excitement for the 2025 Chinese New Year of the Snake, which can only bring good fortune. I have so many hopes and dreams for 2025 that I hope my AI avatar bot can pin to my vision board in time for the year new me new meme coin. I digress. My guest is the fabulous Susan Oh. AI Afficiando who was recently beat up in a hotel room by her co-founder (and is OK) and was able to stop at Glitter Ledger Headquarters on her way to press charges before heading back to Bali. Susan has the IQ of Marilyn Monroe. Her story upbringing is fascinating. She and her family fled South Korea's military dictatorship and then left Iran before the Ayatollah took over; and she family assumed refugee status for 8= months in the UK, before they were sponsored in Canada, where she grew up. She then became a teenage chain smoking punk rocker out at gay discos. Susan then had a career in journalism, media, AI and crypto all mixed together in a big clay pot thrown into a Kiln of glitter and madness before developing her baby Muckr AI, a company that uses AI to flag disinformation. Unfortunately, the funding has had some interesting bumps. Listen on. Happy New Year. #GlitterLedger.
Whist I was manically refreshing my Crypto Fidelity page while smoking a joint praying for better spreads and a painless brazilian wax, it occurred to me that this new cycle will hit different. Alas I wager we will see less of the pitiful tech bros peddling nonsensical seasons of DeFi summers and meaningless phrases like interoperable metaverse masking their low confidence in newfound stoicism and Marcus Aurelius Bullshit- but of what is to come remains remarkably unknown. Deep in the confines of my own imagination, I still wonder, is it cool to Love Trump if my Bitcoin earnings finance my donation to a do nothing liberal organization. Alas, with prices higher than losers at Burning man I still remain on my somewhat asbergers yet violent quest armed with my baccarat bedazzled magnifying glass to discover if people are actually using this shit. I see everyone with a networth that can finance a qui qong instructor and a ski chalet in Verbier purchase crypto at Fidelity. Why? Because ultimately, my banker is my best friend. Show me a rich person lending on Aave save for Stani and I will show you an Alvin Ailey Dancer who voted for Trump. Ce n'est pas possible. I digress; My guest is the ever so fabulous hot crypto power mom fellow podcast host Fund Partner Keli Callaghan. I met Keli deep in the trenches of Covid in a Cafeteria somewhere in Gstaad. She educated me on the deep misrepresentations of both masks and Algorand, wildly misunderstood concepts that played a crucial role in the health of our society and their impacts will be studied for years to come. Despite her no longer being at Algorand, Keli drove its marketcap to astronomical proportions resulting in Keli's undeniable fame. She has over 20K X followers leading her to require a security team at Glitter Ledger Headquarters.Keli currently serves as the Partner and Chic Growth Officer of Arrington Capital alongside Michael Arrington. She is so much more than your typical soulless one dimensional crypto VC with no meaningful thoughts or insights. Keli has a long history of marketing and storytelling for brands in the traditional world of actually working. She also studies how to manipulate people and how to find psychopaths amongst us in a course that one must be specially recommended for. Her insights on leadership, luck, and career development are insightful without being trite or pathetic. She is smart, hilarious and could have hosted this show herself.
New ‘Sode. Alas, I will now be recording at the #WhiteHouse either from Tiffany Trump's closet or under Monica Lewinsky's workstation desk depending on what is avail.Ipso-facto the election results of crowning First Lady #Melania Knauss, present a manic bi-polar conundrum for a bulimic alcoholic social climbing woman of the world in crypto contemplating a pivot to AI and treason also looking for a board position at la Musay D'orsay. How do I feel about the results of the election? Depends on who is asking dahling. To one group of my nearest pals of the Hollywood pseudo European Chateau Marmont Liberal Media Elite, I am dripping with a duhty combination of foam and blood. Its a horror show. That man is a fascist orange menace with a penchant for racism, misogyny, lies, and represents devastation. Yet; to my pollypocket polymarket web3 crypto memecoin #Enron boomer options traders with a penchant for hookers and charity, who are building a better internet, I am smiling like a normal person and shouting Donald Trump, I love you and your whole family Maga-GodBless-Solana-And-Mexican-Walls-All-oVer-My-Hot-Pilates-Body-Ciprianni-BiscottiRegardless.I am proud to be a Nomadic American with loyalties to Oil/ Tether producing nations. The country divided like SUI and Aptos? Look on the bright side, who cares. As aside from immigration and #Botox , the only things I truly care about are good looking friends of whom I can borrow money. As such, I have borrowed an obscene amount of money from my guest Nathan Bekerman. He has starting resemblance to #AtticusFinch if the Counselor had been Latin Miami Royalty, Nate and I met many years ago at a crypto #FTX car conference in the slums of Mexico where I was desperate for a car wash and some #prenuptial advice. Nathan was able to provide both due to his stints at J.P. Morgan and at his previous company Wash My Whip. We became fast friends when I realized he was #bilingual and well educated. He has eliminated the lack of sex appeal in crypto key management security as the newest Head of Product at Station70, a security company spearheaded by the now defunct and shamed #BlockFi. Ipso facto it is clear from this interview that he is a master #Aristotliean thinker of our time as we deep dive through the social hierarchies of conferences where he poses profound questions such as “Is anyone in crypto a colleague or is everyone a friend?”Nate and I also clarify how when my 89 year old husband tragically dies in a tragic freak jet ski accident how I will be able to uncover the mass amount of memecoins of cmrockets and peanuts that he has left in his wake. Station70's new toolings are the delightful side order to one's will. Alas, it is clear that beyond Station70s boringly stringent key management interface- that Nate goes into, its second to die policies of what's to come will allow all second wives sleep soundly a true use-case for crypto. #GlitterLedger
New Sode: Alas, Continuing on that conference junkie circuit in search of the divine combination of Nirvana and web3; I find myself chainsmoking at a side event amongst two poorly dressed founders looking for the exit to my black car. Upon a maniacal asbergery exit resulting in a skinned bloody knee and a spilled watered down Vodka soda and a Limoncello flavored roofie, I manically texted my accountant to purchase a gas memecoin in the hope that I can 100x and purchase a custom Valentino for the Paris Crillon Deb Ball. Ipso facto, in between lip injections and bulimia I am building a new L1 designed by the anti semitic ghost of Galliano that does not solve the trilemma dilemma Coachella Nutella but instead allows you to talk about crypto without ever mentioning crypto. Its investors includes a few poorly funded terrorist organizations and Planned ParentHood. If you're keen for the handwritten deck, you can send me a Direct Message on my Palm PilotI digress.It is rare I allow a woman to grace Glitter Ledger Headquarters unless they have Mob ties or can get me a table at Rao's. I also like to be the prettiest and am hoping I'll get laid after recording. Alas, I made the startling exception with the former Duchess of WeWork turned blockchain Recipe aficionado Lisa Grimm. You see Lisa and I recorded over the summer, but the episode was blatantly offensive replete with startling accusations of some of blockchain's elite that I purposely burned the episode to a foaming ash under the Dolomites for it never to be discovered. After convincing Lisa to record with me and multiple assurances that this episode would not be lost, she agreed to shill her newest company Roux. Roux is a website to share recipes using the blockchain which is too bad because I know nothing about the kitchen or the computer.Lisa Grimm has the most fascinating career history what with serving as the hottest host at the crème da la crème restaurants from the coasts of New York City to Burkina Faso before infiltrating the world of tech and blockchain delirium notwithstanding a short stint at WeWork, or as I like to call it, NoYouWork, She is now the founder of Roux, a place where you can collect recipes, fork them, share them, change them, stack them, whack them, and collide the world of foodie influencers where they belong. There is also a cocktail recipe format where I am hoping you can fork the Ritz' French 75 into a poison on Solana. A fascinating conversation for someone who can barely make toast without calling the fireman.
Josh Lim: Founder of Arbelos MarketsIts officially Cnt Autumn -Sober October -lets go long everything- and cover my calls and puts on the margin in chocolate laxatives dipped in sticky ejaculation from the Sheik who likes Bitcoin. Baby I am back. Not from Token2049 Mars 2112, just from my Opium Buzz of procrastination and expensive porn. Since I have come down, I realize I might not be as rich and thin as the first wave of Solana Ho's but fear not, I have a plan. How? With the new wave of AI pump and dump penny stocks and the impending launch of DeSci-ientology; mixed with a Tasteful Only Fans account where I am fullyish clothed in Groupon Chanel and shill De-Pin tokens whilst simultaneously allowing you to suck my toes. Alas, it is possible that by COIN's next earnings call I could indeed have scammed by way to the top and finance my way to St Tropez on my own accord and alimony. And so, I stand in a seething quiet desperation of becoming amongst the upper echelon of the web3 ladies society. I must social climb my way to digital wealth. As such I was able to secure a seat at a horrific Vegan Crypto Dinner posing as a Caitlin Long after hacking into Luma. I quickly gathered what is happening in crypto, shockingly absolutely nothing, with remarkable dissatisfaction. Perhaps what is most depressing about my week is that I can no longer host a P Diddy White Party. I did stop by Rikers and realized over tea with no Splenda despite my incessant strongly worded letters, that both Diddy and SBF share the same thesis that ETH is undervalued, and that Justin Timberlake left N SYNC an album too late. From Rikers to Glitter Ledger Headquarters. I was deeply humbled to have my First Real Trader Guest Josh Lim- looking fresh and Asian in Polo Ralph Lauren 2002 Wimbledon collection moisturized and ready to teach me how to short the VIX with fervor. We first met in 2009 at Token North Korea whilst clearing out the skincare markets fighting for the last Avacado Mask, a new line by Kim Jung Un and Cardano. Josh Lim is SBF's way of giving back; because without SBF's megalomaniac crimes of astronomical proportions, Josh may still very well be plugging away at Genesis making exotic equity trades with half the X followers. Josh is what every parent ,Asian or not; hopes their child will become. He is a Digital Asset Celebrity; and instead of fading into oblivion, he used SBF's and Terra Luna's humiliation to create Arbelos Markets; a prop trading firm replete with a transparent little engine that could. I think I can trust crypto again. I interviewed Josh with the intention of learning how to turn my dwindling trustfund into a Hedging Machine of automatic trades but instead found a new best friend. He is not your typical Harvard Goldman Sachs Galaxy Genesis Entrepreneur Pseudo Articulate Intellectual type of Bro lacking depth and feelings; he is actually charismatic, funny and cool as hell. He has such acute insight into understanding the crypto market trading world that it made me believe for only a second that this entire thing is not bullshit even if I keep losing money. Josh you're a legend.
New SODE: Is there another quiet wealthy lux term for Brat Summer? One that describes trading Memecoins at Teterboroon route to Venice Biennielle. Brat Summer sounds like a neglected cabbage patch doll and a phrase uttered by the gals who work in digital fashion. Alas, tiz my *29th Cruel Summer knee and Balanciagia by Rihanna balls deep in another May December Romance with yet another Low Tier VC Partner on the cusp of pivoting to AI or Suicide. I pondered whether to keep this deeply boring love affair going till Christmas so I don't have to show up to Mara Largo alone but if I have to look at one more liquid Bitcoin L2 pitch deck that is not fully endorsed by Sequoia and Kate Middleton I am calling the Police while playing the Police. You see, its not that we have nothing to talk about, its just that he is double* my age with no legitimate means to speak of not withstanding his early position in WifHat and Stablecoins pegged to the Russian Ruble mixed in with Nutella and soviet caviar. His questionable pedigree is also evident in the way he orders wine (Riesling, Shudder) , his numerous DWIs in a duhty part of the Hamptons, and his poorly argued thesis replete with zero SAT words that Bitcoin Maxis are bad for the ‘space'.I am vomiting my already vomited Lunch. Alas, Like all flawless human beings,I recognize that true summer love is not without critical sacrifice; so what he is an old man trading memecoins in the kitchen who brings his own sheets to the 4 seasons because he doesn't like their aesthetic, He also bought me an NFT that got me a Board Seat at Musee Dorsay. Brat Summer Adieu CuntAutumn is on the Cusp. Ipso Facto, I must introduce my darling guest Anthony of the Great Desantis State of Florida. A younger man, more keenly aware of the newer memecoin markets and has double the time to compound his interests in his Roth IRA. We met during a heated Argument at a downtown Gallery in New York City outside whilst chainsmoking. I was on route to bid for a painting by one of my dearest preschool mates Banksy, when Anthony outbid me with the intention of setting the painting on fire. After a heated exchange of, I grew to realize the purity of Anthony's intentions of lighting this painting on Fire; to become famous and launch a token, my two criterion for being in my inner circle. Anthony went off to start a new token Xion like the Warrior princess with a real use case beyond money laundering, as if I asked for anotherone. He assured me that his fanbase would take a bullet in the elbow for anyone to speak ill of Xion or of Anthony himself. He and I recorded this episode on the brink of the collapse of his relationship and we dissected said collapse at length, which I believe was routed in a deep seated obsession with me. And Lucky for Anthony, my May December Romance maybe coming to an end now that I have my Board Seat and he's well connected in the Digital Art wold due to his pyromaniac proclivities. I'm bullish on Xion because we didn't talk about it, and I have no idea what it is does but I love the community and what a strong team.
New Sode. Good Evening my fellow Monad Mermaids Bera Baddies Solana Sirens and desperate losers. Bitcoin is up, its MAGA Country I'm waxed Everywhere and Alexis Bellino is back on RealHousewives. Exhale. Alas, as I vlog from Club 55 in St Tropez contemplating my vapid alcoholic yet philanthropic existence, I find myself blessed with the presence of the Urbit Guys. Urbit- a cult like organization formed for the purpose of creating a new internet everyone asked for and no one needs. After all, the internet is solely for Instagram likes and emails to my attorney/therapist. btw Fuck your hourly Bill unless you accept Injective. In my quest to find moronic things to do with my alimony besides short dydx perps and surf the net a porter sale; I stumbled upon Urbit during an advert whilst watching extremely expensive porn. My criteria for becoming financially and emotionally involved in a project or person is that I do not understand it at all, that it is extremely broken unavailable, solves no problems and has terrible reviews. Urbit. A personal computer built from scratch you say, this sounds like a scheme the liberal media elite could use to front run their own agenda and further corrupt our crippled youth. What I have seen from my own digital world is that it is comprised of moronic plebians so the need to create my own remains lost, but I'm intrigued. I have had the pleasure of running into an Urbit guy or two throughout my impossibly interesting lifetime on the crypto junkie conference circuit; each one has a rather dramatic story to tell ranging from nearly plunging to his death with the late John John and CBK before narrowly escaping the plane to another claiming he used to get handjobs from Casey Anthony. Lucy, I am home. Ipso facto, my two guests are the devastatingly powerful Gary Liberman and his model associate programmer Will Hanlen. I met them in El Salvador during a yearly pilgrimage to pay homage to Bitcoin's first legal country and to get an enema. It occurred to me I was ready to join a new cult with beautiful men that has something to with Ethereum and Astrology where I would not have to do work. Will was a previous model in Asia and is now engaged in a torrid tinder love triangle with my cousin so he is basically family as soon as I review the financial prenup terms on Urbit. His contributions to Urbit are so profound I don't even know them but they result in his living in Missouri; indicating his rocketship success of a modeling career turned Urbit coder. And Gary. Gary is the polarizing man of our time who's sheer brilliance is recognized by the type of truck driver who reads Finnegan's Wake on a smoke break and the Connecticut Mom on Valium who counts down the hours to Whispering Angel Hour and gets off to Ulta beaty sales. Gary has the unique ability to be so offensive at a dinner party he can cause more than two people abruptly get up and complain to HR immediately, yet simultaneously cause the dinner party guests on his right to wonder why he has not assumed higher office. It was a pleasure to talk about Urbit. I still have no idea what it is. I am all in.
Hello from ETH CC my Limited Partner and BCC my dad; I am doing something grand for my life and for this cycle.I am flailing from the depths of the critical reality that I have lost hope on everything except resurrecting Terra Luna. Looking at my surroundings and my contemporaries what with their homoerotic panels and pitches that lack theatrical passion, I am deeply embarrassed to be in this industry; After all I went to Choate and Westley before getting kicked out of both due to my light kleptomania and treason, but beside the point, I am simply too #wellBredwellRead to discuss the Merits of security that no one asked for. The only oracle I need is the one from me and Madonna's psychic. I snuck through customs because I don't do those kind of lines and am currently on the lam, podcast recording from a Side Event that I snuck into under my Alias Eva Braun. Drenched in sweat and my 1990 Versace jumpsuit and glued to my palm pilot, I pondered whether when I am caught by the Brusselian Authority that my quest to discover whether Symbiotic or Eigenlayer will bring me more points will impress them enough to excuse my breakage of a multi milly international humanitarian laws. This podcast is short, quick, and has terrible audio due to my clandestine operation and recorded in a stairwell. Ipso Facto, I have nothing to report except that for all intents and purposes I do not know what intents are. I do know that I want AI to do absolutely everything for me including play with my stepchildren and take care of my husband; thus with my my dwindling trust fund and alimony respectively I am willing to pawn my dead mother's ring on an AI rollup that vacuums my plane and teaches my child the questionable tradeoffs of being a good person. I digress, My guest is Hester Pierce, a darling woman whom I met at Janet Sartin facialist during the Nancy Regan Red Dress era and have stayed in each other's circles. During the Frank Dodd After Party at Tenjune, we smoked la meme Menthol cig marveling at her accomplishment and our shared qualities. We both have porcelain fair skin and a penchant for amethysts. We talk about her elegant disputes with Gary Gansler despite both of them being thin and rich as well as her overall career history. She knows a lot about securities law and I try to evade them. I comment on the charitable acts of kindness that Hester goes out of her way to stomach meeting with the Degen Plebians of the ecosystem unlike myself, and am intrigued by her alleged bullish sentiment. Alas this podcast was awkward because I was so nervous to be amongst greatness. Its lonely at the top, and even lonelier climbing up. Nevertheless, it was a pleasure talking with the ultimate crypto Hot Mom. #GlitterLedger
New 'Sode and GMBonsoir from Paris; I am currently hosting my own ETHCC Paris at Hotel Crillon where the rooms are € 3000 a night, a fitting location for democratizing and decentralizing finance; replete with a guest list derived of the Who's Who in L2s. Notably, my stepdaughter's application to the Crillon Deb Ball and for an Ethereum Foundation Investor Relations position say the same thing.Alas, as I wandered around the Versailles Castle Eigenlayer Side Event Rehypthiquay Egalitay, Securitay; I was struck with wondrous strokes of critical observance and gasped at the brilliance of my own deeply self-involved analysis that benefits no one but my schizophrenic other fourths. First the plethora of options when looking for a man in Decentralized Finance No Trust Fund 5'5, Dead and Glazed over and Averted Eyes is thrilling; I pondered in my moleskin journal and Montblanc Quill Pen whether any of these seekers in solving for use cases and solutions to various trilemmas can name one song from La Traviata and buy me a J12. Second, it is apparent that the late Sofia Coppola's Dauphine of France, what with her penchant for gambling, narcissism, Lama's and coquettish alliance with the Ministry of Finance would have thrived during the ICO boom and could have undoubtedly salvaged her reputation and her debt-ridden government with a token launch and a DAO.Third; I have no doubt that the impending Restaking Wars between Eigenlayer and Symbiotic will be equally as bloody as the French Revolution and will fundamentally alter the course of Securitay as know it. I digress. Still in Frahnce, I reconnected with a childhood lover, David Phelps at Glitter Ledger Headquarters Crillon Room 11B equipped with a bedazzled guillotine and an inside trader DeFi Lama portal in French Rust that allows me to algorithmically alter the TVL of LSTs based on scales of my depression and sex drive. Fear not, as my French is nowhere near as good as my Arabic or nonfat Java.David is the Founder of Jokerrace and a critically acclaimed financial poetic philosopher, a mélange between John Paul Sartre and the Celestia felon. David and I have had many run-ins over our vapidly profound existences. For example, during my Ayatollah Internship in Toulouse, I purchased pot and corn for a superior from David's colleagues whilst he was working on a nearby farm contemplating a PHD or continuing his agronomist aspirations.David and I engaged in a pithy affair and both returned to the US. He launched a rocketship Tutoring Company before discovering crypto by way of OGs, though tinder and a socialite hard pressed for junk and a hobby. His 10xed portfolio led him to the gnomic conclusion that he was nothing short of a Financial Rumi. We parted ways as he became consumed with his status and held 1760 era Saloon's at a Chic bistro across from Zucotti Park to preach about how OMG Cash is the key to financial freedom.Like many, he lost a multi-Milly during this craze, but like few, he retreated to his original philosophic gifts of writing and cinema, abandoned farming, and created Jokerace. Jokerace is an acclaimed crypto platform where users can vote on polls like was 9/11 an inside Job or How long before an Eva Braun meme coin? or Who Killed Jon Benet Ramsey or Was the Terra DePeg amusing, all On-Chain. How to get On-Chain, I do not know. But his platform his garnered the attention of world leaders (in crypto) and Tik Tok influencers to the point where Jokerace could very well replace American Democracy as we know it. #GlitterLedger
GM BM GMONAD, my fellow conference junkies, Smoked up Bears, and cracked out Devs alike. I must zk rollup my sleeve in ai intents sprinkled and jizz in pig latin and Rust to provide my plagiarized notable takeaways of the most recent Non Traditional Finance conference. In my quest to invest, I am on the conference circuit wandering around Hacker Houses in my beat up Loubs looking for alpha surrounded by Beta and BlackRock. Hacker Houses are what I imagine foreign students experience when they matriculate Fraternity houses and don't speak the language nor have the opportunity to get laid. These centralized conferences are so rampant they ultimately result in a vicious merry go round of malaise and nonsensical happy heures where the liquor is warm and so little is accomplished it may as well be NATO. Ipso facto, my conference look is too much filler replete with a wardrobe tags left on unreturnable that subtly hints that I pay 63k for my step kids pre-school, Vote Republican, have a fake charity in Burkino Faso to fund my mood stabilizers and Teterboro summer flights, and would perhaps most meaningfully, simultaneously engage in late night witty Liquid Restaking Banter in the Bathroom Stall at Provacateur with you. The aftermath of US Crypto Conferences frequently results in relishing in the alpha one gleaned whilst getting finger banged in the Four Seasons Sauna by a Notable L1 founder to the soundtrack of Usher. U remind me. Alas, no such occurrence this year indicating that this Solana Ho may have been replaced. I digress. I nearly fainted when thee. Danield Held the Glitterati Hotti of the OG Bitcoin Scene agreed to riff with me at Glitter Ledger Burning Man Headquarters. Dan without question has been the smartest guy in the room since he first burst on the scene as a recognized voice of Bitcoin truth securing him an invite to both the Coin and Met Gala. He currently serves as the author of The Held Report and is GP of Asymmetric a Bitcoin DeFi Fund. Swoon and Shudder on repeat and inscribe me your autograph on a Runesy-like Ordinal. Dan and I met many years ago during Middle School when we singlehandedly helped The University of Texas repatriate its gold from the Federal Reserve because they don't trust the Fed with their gold, their physical goldWe reconnected years later in a Satoshi chatroom when I was looking for a unique Vyvanse Ozempic strain, a noteworthy use case. Dan despite his astronomical success, has maintained his values of libertariansm and free market and I maintained mine of stay close to those who will undoubtedly be rich. He is essentially the crème de la crème Oldest and Cutest Brother of Bitcoin, a cereal cryptopreneur with les deux exits and followed on Twitter by my second cousin by marriage Paris Hilton. Dan answers my hard hitting journalistic questions regarding t why the incessant ethos of Keynesian economics remains despicable as well as a Whitney Houston step by step brick by brick block by block diabolical roadmap on as how to successfully become a respected influencer. The answer revolves around doing work thus leaving me to to remain in my abusive marriage and hope my shorted perps on Boden work out to live the lifestyle I am accustomed. Dan and I ponder my medically peer journaled approved thesis that due to the ETFs passing the proliferation of hot girls in the industry is no longer a sign of the top as well as his high powered Kareer at Kraken. The endless knowledge, history, reports and conviction Dan has to crypto fully thrusts me into becoming a Held Report skimmer. I hope you enjoy the show.
New Sode of #GlitterLedger. Alas, I put a majority of my trust fund into Eclipse, the scientific phenomenon not the L2, and a minority in GME so suffice it to say; its been an a week of deep introspection. Writ large. On the topic of disgraced Eclipses, Licensed Detective Glitter, C'est moi, was appointed to the dramatic Me Deux Harvey Weinstein on chain case by vote EIP-69. The only conclusion I can surmise is that L2s on the Solana Virtual Bedazzled Machine have not prevented harassment; resulting in my passionate bullish sentiment. Ipso facto, I called Sue Wagner and asked her to purchase some more Eclipses, and she reminded me to stop mixing my medications and that I still owe her $1000 and my bad kid for my Kentucky Derby losses. Merde. She'll have to wait, as I am Louboutin ankle deep in due diligence given my detective status in a cutting edge protocol. I orchestrated the investors in such a manner that Jump and Sequoia are co- leading both thinking they are the lead. The techstack is a Jesus Christ stroke of genius you see, a blockchain that already accomplishes what Avalanche does, both the token and the mountain, and tokenizes tasteful X - rated films using zk fruit rollupsSaid founder is a 23-year-old Stanford PhD dropout known for a physical fight with a tenured Professor over a heated debate surrounding an allegedly falsified email exchange between Elizabeth Warren Elizabeth Holmes and Queen Elizabeth. #DarkAcademia is where the crème de la crème of crypto emerges. I digress. My guest. Wendy Diamond. Entrepreneur. Author. Homeless Animal Saver. Founder. Crypto investor. Friends with Michael Saylor and the President of Mexico. W and I met at the Upper East Side's Italian Consulate raising money for Teen Mums with poorly decorated homes, a noteworthy and underfunded cause. Wendy is the founder of Wedo a globally internationally reckoned with organization that empowers women from all walks of life to stay the heck away from poverty buy BTC, not dr*gs. We immediately bonded over our love for empowering women from Gstaad to @Monaco to Moscow, the brilliance of a two state solution, and an undying obsession with Coinfund. I knew Wendy was a glittering soul when I met her armed with her dog and infectious energy. She had daring ability to fight off a 5 year stalker while promoting homeless animal rights on the 2day Show. Like most eccentric, smokeshows deeply committed to ending sex slavery, she found Bitcoin. We discussed our thoughts on Merkle Trees and Hash Power and how taxes are ruining NYC. Bitcoin will save us from the bottom of Botswana to the 9th floor at Bloomingdale's 40 Karats. Wendy is a force, with the energy of a preschooler and will stop at nothing to educate, empower, and support, elevate and celebrate women. Wendy also has endless documented dating advice. She was truly a Rolls-Royce Royce L1 Raw Bitcoin Caviar kind of pod guest who gave me a run for my dwindling money with her humor. #GlitterLedger
New Sode of Glitter Ledger : Flooding of Crypto Arabian NightsGreetings from the Bul Jah Rab in Dubai where I'm bunking with Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud's wife; I've known her for years but I forget her name but we used do to off of the Gamma Gamma Gamma house at Ole Miss. I am in hiding from the Crypto Bros of Token2112 who want to stare at their phones, talk about nothing, and get a niche erotic experience from the Compliance Girls at TD Bank. As an 18th Generation Jewish Girl, I have always trusted Saudi Royalty. Alas, When I heard my dear friend Sheik's wife, whose name I can't recall, was on a Crypto Panel on the Titled Wen will DofWifHat ETF be easily tradeable in Guantanamo Bay's Black Market Silky Road, I immediately fired up the jet in Coach straight to Dubai .Trudging through the floods of the UAE with my beat-up Rainbow Balmain Boots that I stole from a homeless man, I made it to a Glitter Ledger Safe house. Between Headwinds and Tailwinds and the Middle East, I am indeed most comfortable in torrential downpours, it's the best time for a Ponzi Scheme. Cue Arabian Nights Aladdin I digress. I made it to Glitter Ledger Safehouse Mumtaz Alhumdelay lah to greet my guest Master Daniel Masters Chairman of Coinshares, stepson of glamor model Deborah Moore and stepson to Bookmaker Gentleman Royalty “Butch” Victor Chandler respectively. That pedigree is something that NFT Solana Bera Hos like yours truly only dream about. Alas if I wasn't so loyal to his current ex-wife and so thirsty for sideways JP Morgan information. I would have gladly swooped in post settlement and become Mrs. Glitter Masters. Throughout this interview I neglected to ask Danny what Coinshares does. Daniel is OG status in the circles of Hal Finney and Gordon Gekko alike. We first met on a Cold Night in New York City at my Table at Raos knee Deep in the Obama era of terrorist fist pumps, alongside the Winklevoss twins; I could easily tell them apart due to my time I spent on the costume set of Full House differentiating between MaryKate and Ashley. I digress, Master Masters in chock full of exciting stories that took place at all junctures of his career from the height of the oil commodity trading days when “oil traders have the most freaking fun” likely due to the ability to chainsmoke at your desk and ignore NATO to getting a Bitcoin tattoo amongst other global high net worths. He's not your typical British elegance oil and finance bro with a semi-public divorce on a first name basis with Cypriot government; He's actually Kind; and somewhat of a Renaissance man as he is fluent in Romanian and can harmonize with me in a perfect B flat Taylor Swift Cruel Summer. Masters rose to the tippity top of the crypto Glitterati in a fashion reminiscent of the Spice Girls rise to fame; he serendipitously stumbled upon bitcoin after the oil commodities Superbowl and built Coinshares from the ground up to undoubtedly the most valuable companies in creepto. His conviction is that Bitcoin will be around in 10 years and the bank will not be makes me take pause; and consider reinvesting my oil back into BTC and ending my friendship with Jerome.
New Sode; Normally you would think NFTs are highly aligned with my values; art, fraud, scam, vapid, a sort of ponzi scheme for those without an MBA who majored in Visual Art and minored in Fascist Dance Theory. Alas, you'd be wrong, but only because they are so ugly and art auctions without paddles are without a semblance of adrenaline and theatrics. Pass. I've been saying since the Tony Blair Administration, that NFT NYC is the least relevant crypto society events, although not nearly as tragic as Tethered to Lake Cuomo. NFTs have always reeked of energy of those who missed the Solana boom and Uranium puts. I can just as easily screenshot a photo and post it on Instagram, hashtag Blockchain and NFT, print it out, Elmers glue some rainbow sprinkles, hang it next to my taxidermy and tell everyone it sold for 300k in a private sale in exchange for a gun and a few liquid AVAX gleaned from an underground subterfuge subnet. Normally, I would stay safely in the confines of my zero knowledge existence high on opiates and dydx perp trades, with a side order of shorting Hut8 with my housekeeper, but I made an exception. The Duchess Isabella Duke of the Upper East Side, a fellow OG glitterati Gossip Girl Pon de Replay with a hot bod and pseudo ivy league degree in Bitcoin Maximalism and Ordinals was in town. Her background is startling. She was the Head Communications of Ordinals turned Bitcoin Venture Capitalist of Art for Bitcoins. Ordinals. These are real NFT's, with serial numbers like prisoners ala Jean Valjean In Les Misérables #24601. In my quest to discover what the fuck this industry actually does, as decentralized finance sounds like Communism with an impending Soviet invasion, I remain deeply skeptical of any financial system that is not Ronald Reagan's trickle down voo doo economics.I trust Isabel. I have known her since we used to chainsmoke outside of the Met in Grade 8 instead of Shakespeare class because that is also how Gwyneth won the Oscar for Shakespeare in Love. All the world's a stage Satoshi. I have watched her career transform from Diet Coach to the Stars to her journey into Satoshi's inner circle and cultivating real NFTs on Bitcoin. I relate to a manic pendulum of a career, except that I do not have one, but relate. As the General Partner of Unchained Fund, Isabel replete with her Armani business suit, and notable accolades, assured me that Bitcoin not crypto and Bitcoin with serialized art is very different than what I have been privy to. You see, serialed art on the scarce hard money asset like gold and oil that will bank the unbanked in its rarest and purest form like the blood of Jesus Christ , where it all started, are actually really useful NFT's and they are harder and better. Like a poorly trained KGB agent on the brink of defectation, I grill Isabelle on the culture of Bitcoin Maximalism and ultimately try to understand how to make Maximalism chic. Ultimately, Bitcoin maximalists are gun loving, both meat and vegan eating philosophic cowboys with deeply passionate views on sovereignty and freedom. I asked Isabel if she thought Blockchains should talk to each other, like schizophrenics and like a true fellow brilliant sophisticated deeply thoughtful worldly woman, thought perhaps. A brilliant sophisticated deeply thoughtful worldly woman, thought perhaps. Maxi Culture is indeed chic with Isabel setting the tone.
New 'Sode of GlitterLedger with Steven Eisman Alexis: Is there anything that you find appealing?Steven: About crypto?Alexis: YeahSteven: Nothing Alexis ZeroSteven: ZeroAlexis: Even the art?Steven: Nothing :D Fresh off of Eth Aspy and still High off of the altitude, and my own grandiose delusions, I have time to reflect on the groundbreaking takeaways of said conference. I have none. Well except to sell my SOL gains for Loubs and mix Lithium and Glitter in a blender From Duane Reade. My conference was spent on a quest for the next billionaire knee deep in an algorithmic pegged to the yen Ponzi scheme based in a tax haven country with decent restaurants. I am the most shameless fame seeker of my generation and would eat glass for the chance be instagrammed with a Household name, whether you created Optimism or Waitressed on Vanderpump Rules, or shorted sub prime mortgages; As long as you can fund the lifestyle to which I am accustomed I will love you endlessly. Which brings me to my guest Steven Eisman, an unsung Hero of our time, best known for Steve Carell's portrayal of him in The Big Short. The creation of Bitcoin is owed to the genius of Steven Eisman. Had he not predicted the mortgage collapse spurring the Financial crisis, nothing would have incentivized Craig Wright to write a White paper. Steven and I first met on the set of the Big Short many years ago when I auditioned to play the role that ultimately went to Ryan Gosling. But I stayed on to help with Craft Services and organized the first cast after party at a college bar in New Orleans. Steven has had a fascinating existence and has had a tremendously successful career. His claim to fame beyond his full head of hair is for shorting collateralized debt obligations, and I'm working on a rap song to further educate. Cardi B you know where I'm at Steven drops some advice on my crypto burgeoning hedgefund called Veni Vidi Vici Off Chain and I'm raising at a 10 billion dollar valuation FDV TVL LTP Safe 1:1 with a soft soft bank commitment. It's a long, short very biased Staked Liquid ETH Strategy light on Stacks and Dogwif hats,) And then he provides great (not) financial career advice, behind the scenes E True Hollywood takes on the film, and industries outside of digital assets that one could pay attention to if one can drag oneself away from DeFi meme pools. Steven's pedigree is a Jewish Girl's Hinge dream what with his Harvard degree coupled with his employment as MD PM for Neuberger Berman's Private Asset Management Divisj. Beyond blockchain's goal of creating an underpinning of a new financial infrastructure, it is that girls in crypto end up a with a man like this. There is an ordinal written in the Genesis Block after the Brink of Collapse that spells this out. Steven's other wisdom besides “ Incentives trump ethics every time, ” is that he does not own any crypto but he has also been wrong. He has also been very right. #GlitterLedger
New Sode Of Glitter Ledger. After leaving the IVY Penn Blockchain's AA meeting in preparation for #ETHAspy, I was filled with mass dread. I'm in regular attendance of AA meetings not because I'm sober but because feel most at home listening to stories about rich people ruining their families. Speaking of DAO's, when token AA? At #EthAspy,I plan on meeting with low tier movers and shakers of slick projects yieldingmore yield and less masculinity. I will be posted at the St RegisPentHouse prepping for my Fireside chat RWAs and Issues on and cross my #VanCleefChains moderated by my dear friend Lizzie Theranos via zoom.I will also be rooming with Hester Prynnand Hester Pierce where we'll order Dom and charge it to the SEC and NathanielHawthorne. We may also:Take quaaludes, Do dramatic readings of the Bitcoin WhitePaper in a Putin accent Watch 80s clips of Margaret Thatcher onC-span. I digress, my guest today is none other than fellow internationally critically acclaimed comedian and Duchess of Privacy and Community at Aleo, @Viv Ford. Aleo has nothing to do with my secretary's font and everything to do with my privacy from the paparazzi, OFAC and Zero Knowledge, my specialties. Viv's back story, like Aleo, is rife withintrigue, secrecy, and (zk)Snark. Her story began where she bunked with abakers dozen of fellow crypto bros before the term was synonymous with moronsat the infamous Crypto Castle. This sounds like the type of elegant porn I mayhave worked on in the lighting department during my thespian days, but sheassures me I am mistaken. As, all of the original GoodFellas of Crypto Castle have left the ‘space', as the ecosystem transitioned from a subculture anarchist movement to a gloriously sensical Perp -trading -Dex Bridge- making -DePin -my -Rollup -Bridge to hell chaotic group of Sers who are in it for the Ferraris and the chance to get laid by NFT artisans; which is personally much more meaningful. Viv however, saw past both the niche subculture of anarchists and the Ferrari seekers and continued on her journey spreading the good word of decentralization across multiple countries with good wine. Upon this mission, she stumbled upon what really matters, keeping spending your money on Botox, bedazzled guns, and erectile dysfunction medication private. Aleo is essentially the CIA of crypto where you onlyhave to say just a little to prove who you are, or who you are not. Viv is responsible for the discord on discord by crowning people ambassadors of Grants on Aleo. I met her after attending her show #NewKidsontheBlockchainin Gstaad and its clear her improv craft is tailored to the elite and confused. The way she articulates her responsibilities at Aleo border on poetic and drops so many chilling one liners of realness and truth, it almost made me wonder if she did not actually work in crypto. Catch her show here:newkidsontheblockchain.io and listen to the episode where you get your pods. #GlitterLedger
New Sode of Glitter Ledger Season 3 Episode 4 with Kyle Downey. It's been a busy week with Airdrops of Jupiter in her hair not found at Fredrick Fekkai and other insufferable tragedies. I've been on the lam in between Gstaad and Sidi Bou Said with ample bosom time to short the Vix, chainsmoke and ponder matters that have been plaguing my icy yet asbergers soul-Is there Valium in the metaverse?-Should I do the Monologue from Fight Club when describing my investment thesis? -Would well-dressed commies have supported decentralization?-Do Merkle Trees grow in Palm Beach?-Can you rip cigs on a (poorly decorated) private plane?-Why aren't their more female led high thread count rug pulls?Then, I changed the sign above my stepdaughter's canopy bed from Live Laugh Love to Read Write Own painted by my dear friend Jeff Koons. I came to the painstaking realization that we are indeed in the Taylor Swift New Era of l'internet. Why? Because if le bebe can can become OnlyFans celebrity on Urbit, trade perps on Dexes, and achieve gains that ultimately finance a home in Mustique alongside Princess Marge, and Jae Kwon, then I must release my misconception that any smart contract needs to be reviewed by my Attorney. I digress, Back at Glitter Ledger Headquarters, reminiscing over a former lover who was the Head of Risk Management at Lehman brothers, I realize that if I want my stepdaughter to have a profitable Web3 Only Fans career, then I must become risk averse diverse head nurse.I thought of no guest more appropriate than a former high tiered Morgan Stanley Does Asia IT Quant, with a light stint on Silicon Alley, turned Risk Crypto Entrepreneur. Kyle Downey CEO of Cloudwall. He gives Daddy of DeFi energy with not quite silver hair that is palpable and respected. We met at the St Regis during an Aave Flashloans and Dog Lover meet up I posted on a dark web subeddit thread hosted by me and my nanny. Wearing beat up Louboutins I described my fervent anger there were no sophisticated digital asset risk management platforms for my Quasi Family Office in Guantanamo Bay. This dapper older man dressed in his own Crypto merch and rich person glasses recognized an incoming panic attack. Serenity, he explained is not only a mindset but a tool that can help you maintain the lifestyle to which you are accustomed. He went to explain that I could use a state-of-the-art software to efficiently manage intricate portfolios of my digital assets, alongside onlyfans on Urbit to predict where I could fail.. All I need is Serenity, indeed. Read Write Own. Thank you Kyle.
New Sode of Glitter Ledger Season 3 Episode 3 with yet another fabulous Celestial Eastern European hailing deep from the Cosmos of Serbia Jelena Djuric - Founder of #Noble. Noble is part of the chaotic organized cult of Cosmos, the Internet of Blockchains, maintaining disruptive sovereignty like Burning Man- Bad Kids. Cosmos is easy to get into like the Soho House in Gstaad. Noble is known for being the native asset issuance network for Circle's USDC stablecoin in the Cosmos ecosystem. Duh. Jelena is a unique founder in Cosmos in that she is beautiful has not been blacklisted by CNBC. We bonded over our shared love of classic baroque Monolithic Architecture of the Ritz in Tulum and the interoperability of rich people drumming. Forgive me for shattering the modular 4th wall for a nano, but my recent introductions to the podcasts have stirred deep reactions from all spectrums of asbergers; mostly from my family who have subtly suggested that I return to my suite at Belleview, if not for the wine list but also for a tune up. Whilst its crystal meth clear I have unrelenting obsession with legalizing euthanasia and figuring out where I should roll up my #zeroknowledge, like all great art I should disturb the uncomfortable. In a generation where attention spans last the length of a Presidential meme, it is deeply curious that people read more than the first sentence. Alas, I realize that LinkedIn is for showcasing meaningless accolades of Dartmouth Business degrees, $155k thousand-dollar job announcements with healthcare not covering fillers or astrology, and musings of your plagiarized thoughts on ETFs, I think that there should be room made for joys of light inside decentralized trading and jazz.I digress.- Jelena of Noble is the noblest of Cosmos Crypto -a Modern Day Barbara Howard I dream of Genie in a bottle Christina Aguilera #IBC #BFT #RWA Princess Bad Kid Hashtag Hashnote who presents her career trajectory with raw authenticity, spills heavy drama of her favorite Cosmos Japanese Omakase Whales and childhood stories of Vitalik. .#GlitterLedger #WomenOfCosmos #BeNoble
Fresh off the Bezos boat of Bitcoin #ETF's and who the fuck cares, I went to the Zoolander DAIE spa for a claw manicure to ward off my stalker. Much to my deep disturbance, Manicurist is leaving the manicure industry to focus solely on her career as a perp trading influencer on #dYdX v4. I asked her why I would ever engage in peer-to-peer trading when my peers are largely sophisticated pseudo ivy league educated jewel-smoking narcissistic alcoholic Adderall fueled contemporaries who would no sooner spill my darkest secrets in exchange for a spot at Horace Man for their offspring. Unclear.The notion on Notion that my (father's) hard earned cash is better managed by SushiSwap over the light sex trafficking accused meaninglessly regulated tradFi institution is beyond my realm of comprehension.Ipso facto, With #ZeroKnowledge Alcohol proof, I must continue on my God appointed quest to solve Jon Benet Ramsey's murder with my #baccarat magnifying glass as well examine peer to peer trading and kreepto derivs.Alas, I am pleased to have decorated crème de la creme Advanced Sales and Strategy expert Mr. Kyle Trimble Kyle is a web3 Don Draper. He has been divinely blessed by his ability to make every cold prospect his deepest most treasured friend and his best men will encompass the entire defunct Genesis trading desk. He is a Renaissance man, what with is his burgeoning underground DJ career and Degen Solana Shitcoin trading strategies reminiscent of RainMan. Every single respectable woman of crypto, of which there are 12, has a deep seated unhealthy sexual obsession with Kyle, and it is for good reason; Here's my backstory. I met Kyle in the late 90s in the height of high frequency commoditized Somalian children trading during the children's Men's Fashion Week in Milano. Neither of us were chosen in the final round to walk the runway, a freakish decision -what with Kyles impossibly high cheek bones and lithe European figure, and my sporadic bulimia and keen ability to speak inflected mob like 4th grade Italian re Donatella Margherita Missoni Pizza grazie mille. Even though our failed modeling careers were a personal affront, I went on to pursue an intellectual career in beverage commercial work. Kyle is nearly single handedly responsible for making The Tie a household name while still maintaining an impressive following in the house music underground club circuit of Medellin where he cannot get a Sangria without being accosted. His most recent prestigious day job includes trading derivatives of derivatives of kreepto at Kemet Trading. During this episode, Kyle corrects many of my fervent misunderstandings.Per example, #KeanuReeves is not associated with Matrixport, being cheap fast and easy only works on Solana and in Dubai, and Delta Hedging has nothing to do with sorority and fraternity pledging.
New Episode of Glitter Ledger; Season 3 Episode 1. Happy New Year or whatever- here's to restorative healing and excess cash with Andra Nicolau. Here's what I know. For Dry January I am off my self-prescribed mixture of Prozac and Viagra and am thus in rare form. During Christmas holiday in between #Eigenlayer and misery, I posted a thirsty photo of myself in a trophy wife one piece off the coast of Sidi Bou Said with my squad of Solana Berachain NFT semi college educated contemporaries changing the financial system and banking the unfortunate and ugly and or unbanked one Smoky Bear Bored Ape at a time. It's clear I struggle with my vapid journey of finding financial freedom outside my alimony. Alas, dare I ask.. are there really funds outside of my low tier JP Morgan Private Banker's advice and put options placed on Robinhood whilst high on meth(amphetamines)? Is it REALLY possible that alternative earnings exist within #DecentralizedFinance that will allow me to maintain the lifestyle to which I am accustomed? T-B-DAY. I digress; Andra and I met many years ago at a White House Gala during the brief but deeply influential; political stint of Lord Mooch when he served as Director of Communications. His departure was a critical error in American History's time that will be studied for years to come. While I would eat glass for any of the Trump family members, this was a grave mistake but I and God forgive.Enough about me. I immediately noticed Andra's incredibly crazy cool icy sexy Eastern European demeanor and could tell she was well bred due to her posture, handbag thread count, and her indifference amongst US A-List politicians. Andra and I are quite different though, she is a University of California, Berkeley math aficionado whereas I am trying to bedazzle the blockchain and solve the #PythagoreanTheorem Andra speaks a plethora of languages including solidity and throughout this conversation we covered her career colorful global career highlighting her stint at 1inch which is better than it sounds re performance, all the way to the tippity top of where she is now. Serving as the head of BD and Strategy at Origin ProtocolAt Origin, one can earn even more yield on top of one's yield #oETH. I probed her incessantly on how she deals with being incredibility hot in a male dominated field in sea of deranged tech bro wannabe Winklevoss Musks who cant find your you know what or give you a properraise. Ipso facto, this convo was a phenomenal way to start out the new year, even if I'm dry.. everywhere. Andra is not afraid of trusting smart contract security instead of or alongside your low tier JP Morgan Banker, the cutthroat competitive albeit entertaining cult of women in web3 and letting go of the wildly unnecessary self doubt and negative talk. I wish for you dear what Andra gave me; the fearlessness to be myself and speak my truth as phony and pretentious as I very well may be. #GlitterLedger #OriginProtocol #WomenInDeFi #WellReadWellBred
Rayhaneh Sharif-Askary is formerly an Ultra UBS tradFI hustler turned crypto boss At Grayscale Investments, with a penchant for collaborative regulation, investment products that access that digital economy, and mid to advanced level icy skiing. We met in the airport lounge en route to Burkina Faso when she kindly offered me a breath mint and glass cleaner for my J12, neither of which I have returned. We immediately shared a bond of traditional leveraged Financed Sales, getting lost in the Metaverse, Wagner Operas and subtly recognizing each other's pedigreed pseudo ivy league existences. We would be long time friends. Allegedly. I have a lot to learn from Ray, she is one of the few women leaders in crypto who strikes critical balance of a nurturing Managing Director with a side order of the perfect ingredients of fear and obsession without being disturbing. It's a common thread that everyone in the digital asset space holds a deeply unhealthy obsession with their CEO or counter dauphine. I could go on and on about premiums and discounts and the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust and the OJ lawsuit. But I take a pause to leverage my SOL and let Ray explain. In the meantime, I will focus on my strengths of asking rappers for financial advice and educating the masses thru humor and selective fact checking. In sum, Grayscale is THE crypto asset manager, they offer 18 products, notably GBTC, and sued the SEC when it rejected its transition into an ETF. According to Ray and court records that I didn't read, the negotiations are going tremendously as the application is currently being reviewed; WAGMI. Ray is enviously clear on her vision for Grayscale and her team both in and out of Grayscale Decentraland, which in Ray's world is designed with neo gothic / mid century furniture giving a Joan Didion meets Diana Vreeland aesthetic. Ray drops vital liquid gold bars of advice on how to be a powerful, elegant yet woman in the workplace, advice I wish I didn't need as I was not planning on working and living off of my dwindling Filecoin ICO, and alimony. Alas, if you picked up anything from this episode is that Grayscale Bitcoin Trust is one of the first securities solely and passively invested in Bitcoin (“BTC”) that enables investors to gain exposure to BTC in the form of a security while avoiding the challenges of buying, storing, and safekeeping BTC, directly and this episode and anything we say is not not not financial advice. #GlitterLedger #WomenInCrypto #GBTC #SeeYouSeason3 #SeeYouInCourt
Xavier will undoubtedly break the trend of gracing a Crypto Forbes Magazine cover without a proper visit to Frederick Fekkai. With his devastatingly charming accent and endless knowledge of every single protocol to have ever come into existence, it is clear why he has developed a cult like following of gen and degen crypto founders and VCs alike. Not only does he indulge my Real housewives of Crypto in Gstaad meets the Bell Curve wrapped in an unchained blended mix of call her daddy where's my bank line of questions, he educates me in the Je ne Sais Quoi of what staking actually is beyond cute rewards and network security. His explanation is high level enough that it would satisfy my psychiatrist' Bessel van der Kolking lack of understanding, yet low level enough that it is undoubtedly Vitalik Buterin approved Xavier hails from the great Continent of Adelaide Australia, and then was aristocratically classically educated in FinAnce in Milan post fascism. He then traveled the globe and found himself at an existential crisis: Shall I become a Wall Street wanker or dive deep head first into the throws of blockchain and decentralized finAncE et cetera ad nauseum. He found himself connecting with the mysterious and glamorous Felix Lutsch, the former Chief Commercial Officer of Chorus One, who has since left to pursue Low Fashion in High places and vice versa. Xavier stopped at nothing to join this unique, elegant, and what could only be described as a crypto native think thank that's operates validator node infrastructure and produces unstoppable MEV research for exchanges, custodians, wallets, foundations, VCs, Hedgefunds and UHNwI' alike. He joined as a Research Analyst before becoming Head of Research and then eventually crowned Chief Investment Officer where he is responsible for its multi milly dollar fund. Xavier and I have had a deeply complicated relationship. We first met for a candlelight dinner at the Core Club during a balmy night in DeFi Summer. It was here I laid my vapid attempt to convince him of my deep expertise in the Cosmos ecosystem, tokenized perpetual derivatives and of my elite DAO memberships of which I forged using my Nigerian Passport. Over a shared beef tartare, a 1984 bottle of Malbec and a side order of my mushed up Lexapro and vegemite, he appeared not the least bit convinced of my questionable skillset and resume covered in blood in sequins to illustrate a dark yet exciting work ethic. Nevertheless, Xavier, with his unpretentious intelligence comparable to a young John Stuart Mill and a keen eye to recognize obvious talent, was intrigued at what kind of dealflow I could bring him. I happened to not casually mention my wide circle of dear friends of Sultans and low tier Sequoia Analysts investing in web un deux et trois during all courses. Our (working) relationship has not been without the occasional screaming mascara tear streaked fight, replete with some blue in the face light foaming at the mouth. Yet we always come to an EIP resolution and he has tolerated my antics with the elegance of His Majesty. After all I do (mostly) deliver. Alas, I must zkrollup my sleeves ,save my histrionics for the stage and recognize the opportunity I have been hashtag blessed with. Xavier is a critical thinker, and a writer, of which well be seeing more of in the New Year. He is a sharp communicator, unique in the crypto space. His analyses of projects are not filled with nonsensical buzzwords and lack of substance, but instead with real examination from bottom of the blockchain. He is most bullish on Avalanche subnets, liquid staking, and Cosmos, and optimistically convinced he could shill the royal family on indulging some light Osmosis trading in between pheasant hunting. Xavier is the loveliest, the coolest, the smartest, and is going to set this next bull market ablaze. Enjoy the episode.
New episode. The Glitter Ledger. My guest today is Dean Skurka, CEO Of WonderFi. He is Under 40 replete with a Wall Street slick back American Psycho head of hair and a Canadian disposition, place of birth and residence. Before you get too jazzed, this episode was cut slightly short to my unpaid bills on my now free zoom account as I spent all my money on Diet Coke, Solana and an Ocelot this week. Luckily, we talk fast and the major points of general malaise mixed in with an impending bull market coupled with regulation and how to run a public company without going insane are all covered. On the topic of zoom, the company itself has an unusually strong financial footing. This unusually strong financial footing leads me to be bullish on the company reminiscent of the 2020 Gamestop era. I advise against my own financial advice considering that most of my retirement portfolio consists of a mélange of Lightcoin, Volkswagen, and Nigerian based ETFs. I digress, and enough about me. WonderFi provides investors diversified exposure across the global digital asset ecosystem most notably, through leading trading platforms (Bitbuy and Coinsquare), B2B Crypto Payments (SmartPay), and though a Canadian Qualified Custodian (Tetra Trust). Dean has solid tips for navigating relationships with regulators as well as how to get bps of customers. He is one of the few leaders with solid business acumen coupled with legitimate crypto knowledge. Even though he stood me up twice, so did my husband so third time is the charm in a podcast guest, in a marriage, and hopefully for Ark's filing for a Bitcoin ETF. And by the way Dean and I are really cool as he sent me and a handwritten cursive note both on telegram and snail expressing his deepest regrets. As such, as soon as I gain dual citizenship, and Glitter Ledger Headquarters opens its second location in #Montremblant consider my Eth custodied under the Wonderfi family. #TheGlitterLedger #WonderFi #BitBuy #FromSeaToSea
On this episode of #TheGlitterLedger I interview Parker Jay-Pachirat, of FinTech Collective and not co-founder but founding member of Boys Club. We immediately bonded over being brunette born and bred New Yorkers, with deep appreciation for our city's delicious salad of culture, religion, politics, food and subway observances . Her experience growing up in the Fin-aNce capital of the world involved less of wine tasting varietals at Nutcracker intermissions and swimming lessons in the shallow end of the Four season's pool - and more late night readings with her contemporaries about deep fakes and 3D printers and brain machine interfaces. Like true New Yorkers, we marveled in our starkly contrasting formative pre-teen years with respect and admiration. We discussed Parker's highly accomplished career at FinTech Collective, a global, early stage venture capital firm who's investments includes notable fun to say names like #GogoPool #Playgrounds, and #Rainbow, who actually have a TAM and PMF and DTF- alongside her eloquent musings on what it takes to be an insightful and successful VC. Note. It is beyond a magic 8 ball and an enviable roster of founders building cool things, though both help. We also delve into the Boys Club, not be confused with a group of Post Harvard MBA fraternity brothers who sit in the jacuzzi with cigars and discuss their genius puts on Luna circa 2022 and High Frequency Uranium Trades. Non. This Boys Club is the online social collective community that educates the masses about crypto in the form of unhinged memes, newsletters, discords and parties for the vapid intellectual crypto curious bi curious sober curious capitalist curious socially awkward folk of our time who are also attractive, well educated, well dressed and nowhere in between. The content informative an and hilariously entertaining. Parker does not subscribe to titles, but given the high standard she holds herself to coupled with her deeply successful initiatives, the club's respected media coverage, and waitlisted side events, she is likely the CCO, and the DAO architect. Parker and I then get extremely politically, religiously and romantically deep, most of which was removed from this episode on account of the fact that I did not speak enough. #IpsoFacto, the number of listeners decreases significantly should the episode be longer than 45 minutes thereby inhibiting my potential investors ( the entire C suite of #Enron guys) from sponsoring further should my listener count decrease. All the more reason to have this incredibly interesting, deeply bright and passionate woman on again to revisit topics above as well as the importance of diversifying information diets, dating out of your political persuasion, (shudder) and cultivating positive impacts on the world through on, off, under and next to the #blockchain. #TheGlitterLedger #womenincrypto #BoysClub FinTech Collective: https://fintech.io/DeFi Fund @ FinTech Collective: https://fintech.io/defiBoys Club - Website: boysclub.vip Boys Club - Twitter: twitter.com/BoysClubWorldGLIF is a protocol deploying tens of hundreds of separate staking pools to Filecoin, creating a simple and flexible way for storage providers on to utilize the network and borrow from multiple capital providers without fracturing liquidity.

On this episode of the Glitter Ledger, I sit down at Glitter Ledger Headquarters with the great Kelly Greer, Vice President of Institutional Trading at Galaxy Digital, who dabbles in Socrates and telepathy. Kelly gives me a light overview of OTC equity derivatives and her thoughts on a variety of topics from bringing real world assets on chain to the descrepancies between JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley. Her daily responsibilities of facilitating trading spot, derivatives and financing liquidity for hundreds of institutional clients and counterparties may lead one to believe that she has no time for other intellectual and creative pursuits, but this a drastic misunderstanding. She uses her spare time to telepathically communicate with her twin brother, a tradfi trader, and engage Chat GPT in deeply entrenched philosophical debates influenced most recently by Socrates and Fredrich Nietzche. She is most recently a founder of a venture capital pitch deck model dating app, which can be found at PITCHME (pitchmedemo.com). Take a look if you'd like a blockchain sophisticated dating app and take a listen if you'd like to get to know the coolest woman trending on chain.
