In this episode of Bits + Bips, hosts Austin Campbell, Ram Ahluwalia, and Chris Perkins tackle a packed agenda: from the fairness of Binance's listing fees to the ways in which DeFi didn't perform well during the “Black Friday” crash, why Tempo's $500 million raise might have been a political ploy, and the growing war over stablecoin dominance. The trio debates whether Bitcoin is undervalued compared to gold, why Ethereum's 10-year track record gives it an edge, and whether today's Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs) are just froth, or the permanent backbone of institutional crypto. Plus: Austin makes a bold prediction about the stablecoin that will dominate by 2040.

In this week's episode the hosts delve into the ongoing U.S. government shutdown and its implications for the nonprofit sector. The shutdown, now extending over half a month, poses significant challenges for nonprofits that rely on government partnerships. With 750,000 federal workers furloughed, nonprofits face operational hurdles, particularly in grant management and accessing social services like SNAP benefits. The shutdown's ripple effects could increase demand for nonprofit services as more workers remain unpaid and public services remain halted. In brighter news, a consortium of ten major philanthropic foundations has announced a $500 million initiative, Humanity Forward, to explore AI's societal impacts. This collaborative effort includes the Doris Duke Foundation, Ford Foundation, and MacArthur Foundation, among others. The initiative aims to investigate AI's influence on democracy, economy, culture, and education, with funds being distributed as early as fall 2025. The episode highlights the importance of nonprofits actively engaging with AI to drive innovation rather than being passive participants. The hosts also introduce a fun, albeit tongue-in-cheek, mini-game created by Whole Whale. The game serves as a metaphor for the challenges nonprofits face in fundraising, emphasizing innovative content strategies to engage audiences beyond traditional written articles. This interactive approach underscores the potential for nonprofits to leverage AI and technology in new ways. For nonprofits navigating these uncertain times, the episode underscores the importance of strategic planning and adapting to technological advancements. The discussion encourages nonprofits to explore AI's potential and consider how these tools can enhance their mission-driven work.

Dean thought he'd have to bootstrap Axonius because no investor would fund a solution to a problem that had existed for 20 years. He was wrong—they've raised $500M. The breakthrough came when a Fortune 500 company was actively being hacked by Chinese state actors. Their first customer almost said no—they had 20 bugs during the POC. But Dean's team fixed each one within 48 hours while their competitors took quarters to respond. That speed changed everything. They went from zero to $100M ARR in under 5 years, created an entirely new category (cyber asset management), and achieved an NPS score in the 80s—unheard of in cybersecurity. His framework for the three types of enterprise journeys will change how you think about positioning.Why You Should Listen:Why responding to customer issues in hours changes everything.How to turn a "dormant pain everyone accepts" into a $500M+ company.Why speed beats everything.The 3 types of enterprise software journeys and which one VCs won't fund.Keywords:startup podcast, startup podcast for founders, Axonius, Dean Sysman, cybersecurity startup, enterprise sales, Unit 8200, cyber asset management, B2B SaaS, YC alumni00:00:00 Intro00:02:25 From Hacker to CyberSecurity00:14:46 The three types of enterprise software journeys00:18:41 Why time to value beats everything00:29:33 Thought they'd bootstrap but VCs validated the problem00:35:14 Failed POCs and landing first customer with 20 bugs00:40:10 Zero to $100M ARR in under 5 years00:45:24 When to know you have product-market fitSend me a message to let me know what you think!

Interview with Richard Osmond, CEO of Element 29 ResourcesOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/element-29-resources-tsxvecu-developing-the-next-major-copper-mine-in-peru-6293Recording date: 5th October 2025Element 29 Resources is advancing its Elida porphyry copper-molybdenum-silver project in Peru with about 14,000 meters of drilling completed and a maiden resource estimate published in 2022. The company aims to grow the initial 300 million tons resource to over 500 million tons through ongoing exploration. Recent magnetotelluric (MT) geophysical surveys have identified a hydrothermal alteration footprint exceeding six kilometers in strike length, which includes low resistivity anomalies at depth. These anomalies suggest the presence of a high-grade copper core that remains untested at around 1.5 kilometers below the surface.Element 29 has secured approximately $10 million in treasury, raised through $6.1 million in financing and $4 million from warrant exercises, to fund a 7,000-meter drill program. Drilling costs average $450-500 USD per meter. The project benefits from a five-year community access agreement and is expanding drill permits from 20 to 40 platforms ahead of Peru's 2026 election cycle. Peru's government has shown increased support for mining development after losing its position as the world's second-largest copper producer to the Democratic Republic of Congo.The Elida project displays favorable characteristics including a 4:1 strip ratio, an absence of a water table which reduces environmental liability, expectations of clean concentrate with no arsenic, and potential for transitioning from an open pit to underground mining. This transition could extend the mine life beyond the initial 15-year production timeline at 100,000 tons per day. The geological setting is defined by multiple mineralization phases within a porphyry intrusive complex, with late-stage sulfidation overprints upgrading the system and increasing grades at depth.The company's CEO, Richard Osmond, emphasizes the rarity of such discoveries today and the project's potential as a tier-one asset. The strategy focuses on resource expansion through systematic drilling and geophysical targeting, supported by Peru's improving regulatory environment and strong investment protections. Element 29 is positioning itself to deliver a de-risked copper asset that could satisfy major mining companies' requirements for large-scale, economically viable resources in world-class jurisdictions.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/element-29-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Arthur Hayes & Tom Lee map the new crypto arms race—Hyperliquid vs Aster, Plasma's stablecoin rails, and ETH's DAT-fueled supercycle. Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. Live at Token2049 Singapore, we're joined by Arthur Hayes (Maelstrom) and Tom Lee (Bitmine) to map two battles shaping the next cycle: the Perp DEX war—Hyperliquid's moat vs. CZ-linked Aster, zero-fee experiments like Lighter, and whether ~$500M/year token unlocks can stay “bullish”—and the race to own stablecoin rails, from Tether-affiliated Plasma's zero-fee USDT chain to distribution plays like Tempo and Codex. We dig into DATs, mNAV compression, and Tom's “ETH supercycle,” plus prediction markets (Polymarket vs. Kalshi) crossing into the mainstream and a surprise Zcash revival. If crypto's future is being decided in trading venues and in money itself, this is where the battle lines get drawn.  Show highlights

This Week: As the right wing war on higher education continues a climate of “fear and hopelessness” sets in among the ranks of college faculty across the former confederate states in particular. One in four scholars in the south report applying to a job in another state, primarily states in the north and west where the restrictions on research, attacks on academic freedom, and repression of marginalized groups is at least not being exacerbated at the state level.  Also, we do a round up of fascist shenanigans, including two good stories for a change. A federal judge orders the reinstatement of $500M in research funding to UCLA, noting the Trump administration's actions are likely “arbitrary and capricious.” New laws in CA require federal immigration officials to have a judicial warrant or court order to enter schools and hospitals, and have made it illegal for law enforcement to wear masks. Lastly, Trump cuts $24M in funding to NYC, Chicago, and Fairfax Co schools as punishment for policies that allow students to use bathrooms that align with their gender identity, further weaponizing Title IX and the civil rights infrastructure of the USDOE.  Manuel and Jeff discuss!MAXIMUM WOKENESS ALERT -- get your All of the Above swag, including your own “Teach the Truth” shirt!

NBC pushes a fake report that ICE agents detained a 5 year old girl with autism to get her illegal alien father to surrender from his home, not only purposefully distorting the story but NOT reporting the father has a history of domestic abuse and strangulation. STRANGULATION? Tom Homan says lawsuits are coming against those who have slandered him. The media attacks President Trump's Tylenol and autism link but forget their own reporting dating back nearly 10 years. Schumer may hold the government hostage is he doesn't get free healthcare for illegals and $500M for NPR.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang descended on the United Kingdom this week, armed with a pledge to invest $2.6 billion to supercharge the country's AI startup ecosystem. Wayve, the U.K.-based self-driving tech startup, could be one of those to receive funds from Nvidia's AI investment commitment. Also, U.K.-based fintech Tide has entered the unicorn club with a fresh funding of $120 million led by TPG, as the startup now serves over 1.6 million micro and small enterprises globally — with more than half of them based in India, the company's largest and fastest-growing market. The new round — a mix of primary and secondary investment, though the startup declined to confirm the exact split — values the eight-year-old startup at $1.5 billion.

LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ In this episode of Dropping Bombs, I sit down with legacy-level developer Karl Gorman, a former corporate finance exec who walked away from a 7-figure salary to tackle America's housing crisis head-on—and make bank while doing it. From turning vacant city lots into modular homes in 90 days to getting mayors to hand over land for FREE, Karl's cracked the code on affordable housing at scale—dropping $500M in construction across Cleveland, Detroit, and Sacramento, all while giving working-class families the shot at homeownership with $0 down and 12% equity built-in. Karl breaks down how he's shrinking the wealth gap—like Trump's mastery of accelerated depreciation to stack billions while everyday folks get locked out—why he tells hedge funds to kick rocks, and how he's paying investors double-digit returns with no risk of lawsuits, fires, or foreclosures—because he structured the entire fund so they only collect the cash, not the chaos. Plus: why realtors stay broke, how he's cloning himself to build in every city, and why corporate America should be worried—because this isn't just business, it's a movement. Think you know real estate? Karl's blueprint rewrites the rules.

We take a high-level look at where the next major opportunities in crypto may emerge, connecting developments in $NAT with broader market narratives. We begin with a deep dive into $NAT's latest progress and why its evolving role as a Bitcoin-native secondary subsidy could address long-term network sustainability—placing it in the same early-stage category as other innovations once dismissed before gaining mainstream adoption. We then shift to the surging ZORA ecosystem, now nearing a $500M market cap, and examine its structural parallels to earlier BASE projects like Virtuals. This leads us to $DOCKER—a $3M market cap asset designed to capture ecosystem upside through buyback-driven flywheels—mirroring the path that propelled $VADER to $100M+. By unpacking the economic models, token mechanics, and adoption curves at play, we highlight why these assets may offer asymmetric potential in the current market. Whether your interest lies in Bitcoin's evolving economic design or identifying high-conviction bets before they go mainstream, this discussion distills the signals from the noise to give you a clear strategic edge. Topics: First up, look at where the next major opportunities in crypto may emerge, connecting developments in $NAT with broader market narratives.
