    Dragonfly raises a $650M Fund IV amid crypto's institutional vs retail sentiment gap, the industry exodus including Kyle Samani's departure from Multicoin, OpenClaw's OpenAI acquisition and crypto Twitter harassment, X402 payment standards for AI agents, Polymarket's controversial 5-minute Bitcoin betting markets, and the brewing federal vs state regulation battle over prediction markets. 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. This episode kicks off with major news: Dragonfly just closed their $650 million Fund IV, making them one of the largest crypto VCs not through growth, but because others have downsized. The timing feels surreal — they keep raising right when markets dump, creating the biggest gap between institutional optimism and retail sentiment Haseeb has ever seen. But money flowing in contrasts sharply with talent flowing out. Kyle Samani left Multicoin, Arianna Simpson departed A16z Crypto, and several other crypto veterans are moving on. The crew unpacks what this "great resignation" means for an industry that feels like it's shifted from pioneer phase to settler phase. Then they dive into the OpenClaw saga — the viral AI coding assistant that got acquired by OpenAI, but not before its creator almost deleted it due to harassment from crypto Twitter demanding he launch a token. This leads to a deep discussion on X402 payment standards and why AI agents might prefer crypto over credit cards. Finally, they debate Polymarket's controversial 5-minute Bitcoin betting markets and the brewing legal battle between federal and state regulation of prediction markets. Let's get into it.

    Bitcoin may be quietly changing hands and the trail appears to point toward a Hong Kong–based entity accumulating in size. In this video, we break down the unusual flow patterns, ETF activity, and derivatives signals suggesting that large-scale purchases are happening behind the scenes, away from typical retail venues. Why would a major buyer structure accumulation discreetly, and what does that imply about supply dynamics and the next phase of the market? If a significant offshore player is steadily absorbing Bitcoin, the impact on liquidity and price could be far bigger than most investors realize.

    Eric Larchevêque est un entrepreneur et cofondateur de Ledger. On se connait depuis longtemps avec Eric.Dans cet moment, nous parlons d'un moment de bascule dans la vie d'un entrepreneur : celui qui suit la réussite. J'ai questionné Eric sur ce vide existentiel qui suit la vente d'une entreprise, sur l'identité qui vacille quand on n'est plus “le CEO”, sur le rapport à l'ego, la lumière, la création de contenu, la scène. Il évoque la dépression, le Covid, le besoin de ralentir, puis la nécessité de se reconnecter à quelque chose de plus profond : aider les autres. Un témoignage rare, à la fois lucide, vulnérable et inspirant.3. Citations marquantes« Il n'y a rien de pire que d'atteindre son rêve. »« Une idée n'a aucune valeur. Ce qui compte, c'est l'exécution. »« En 24h, je suis passé de “jamais je lâcherai” à “je pars”. »« Je pense que j'étais en burnout, sans le nommer. »« C'est en aidant les autres qu'on se reconstruit. »4.

    In this Crypto Town Hall episode, hosts and guests analyze Bitcoin's tight $66K–$68K consolidation, debating bear flags vs. potential breakouts amid institutional rotation from OG whales to ETFs/governments/funds. They discuss February 5th volatility possibly driven by TradFi hedging blow-ups, ETF open interest limits, structured products growth, and symmetrical volatility in crypto. Sentiment highlights extreme fear, long-term holder strain, whale flows, global uncertainty peaks, AI competing for capital, and industry maturation pains—including scams, politicization, and narrative-follows-price dynamics—while maintaining cautious long-term optimism.

    Bitcoin may be entering a quiet but critical phase: a massive entity appears to be steadily accumulating behind the scenes. In this video, we break down the on-chain signals, exchange flows, and ownership shifts suggesting that supply is moving into stronger hands — even as sentiment remains weak and headlines stay bearish. Is this smart money positioning ahead of the next major move, or just normal market rotation? We'll analyze the data, the market structure, and what this kind of silent accumulation has historically meant for Bitcoin's next phase.

She sits down with two of the top critical thinkers in the world of finance: Tom Lee, Co-founder and Head of Research at Fundstrat, and Michael Lewis, the New York Times bestselling author of Moneyball, The Big Short, The Blind Side, and Going Infinite. Together, they work through the most pressing questions facing investors in 2026. Discover why retail investors are outperforming hedge funds, whether gold has peaked, and if Bitcoin's 40% dip signals a crypto winter. Lee explains why the recent AI-driven software tumble could actually reflect corporate productivity gains, while Lewis shares his contrarian gold bet and why he's “long fear.” They tackle the independence of the Federal Reserve under nominee Kevin Warsh, the risks of AI job displacement, and whether the federal government could nationalize failing AI companies.

    The Simple Framework That Built Seven Figures And What Scaled It Further Most people believe building wealth requires complex strategies, insider knowledge, or perfect timing. The truth is the foundation is simple. In this episode, I break down the exact system that took our family from zero to seven figures in under eight years. We walk through the three account framework, consistent automation, high income skill development, and intentional frugality. Then we go deeper into what scaled us beyond seven figures. Real estate syndications. Advanced tax planning. Bitcoin as a strategic asymmetric bet. Private equity and business ownership. If you are early in your journey, this gives you the map. If you are already building, this shows you the next phase.

    William Layden is Co-founder and CEO at Rune, a company building modular, behind-the-meter micro data centers that plug directly into solar and wind plants. These units operate on a fully electric, DC-to-DC architecture—bypassing the traditional grid and unlocking new economics for compute at renewable energy sites.In this episode of Inevitable, Layden explains how solar clipping and curtailment leave vast amounts of clean power stranded—and how Rune's “RELIC” units turn that waste into usable compute. The conversation dives into DC architecture, Bitcoin as a beachhead market, and why traditional data centers are ill-suited to an era of distributed energy. Layden also unpacks why modular infrastructure may be the fastest path to deploying AI-scale compute at the edge of the energy transition.Episode recorded on Jan 27, 2026 (Published on Feb 17, 2026)In this episode we cover: (0:00) Intro(3:19) An overview of Rune(7:15) How energy flows and gets los in today's power stack(10:50) Clipping: the hidden inefficiency in solar(14:17) Curtailment: why the grid rejects clean energy(20:47) Starting with Bitcoin before scaling to AI workloads(25:50) Which compute loads can run interruptibly(27:26) Rune's business model and value to power producers(33:16) Where Rune operates and who's backing it(36:10) Why modular, DC-native design matters for scaleLinks:William Layden on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/william-laydenRune: https://www.rune.energy/ Enjoyed this episode?
