In this episode, I'm joined by Oto Gomes, crypto investor, mentor, and founder of the Crypto Freedom Academy, for a conversation that goes far beyond charts, markets, and digital assets. Oto brings over a decade of crypto experience and another decade as an accountant, but what truly sets him apart is his heart-centered approach to wealth, sovereignty, and freedom.Together, we unpack why so many people feel disempowered around money, how our beliefs shape our financial reality, and why the future of prosperity depends less on chasing quick wins and more on understanding who we are at our core. Oto shares practical and grounded wisdom on navigating crypto safely, building true abundance, and creating a resilient inner foundation that can weather both bull and bear markets—externally and internally.We also explore the deeper emotional and spiritual layers of money. Oto breaks down how self-worth ties directly into financial behavior, why sovereignty is a non-negotiable in the new paradigm, and how interdependent communities can help us rewrite our relationship with wealth. His mission is clear: to empower people to reclaim their agency, operate from integrity, and create a prosperous life rooted in accountability and connection.If you're curious about crypto, seeking a more holistic approach to money, or wanting to align your financial path with personal freedom and purpose, this conversation offers grounded insights and expansive perspective.

They dive into the roles of Monero and Zcash, noting Zcash's recent price jump and how it has reignited tribal debates. Joel argues that Zcash is now a stronger hedge for Monero than Bitcoin, given their differing approaches to privacy and governance. The conversation also touches on how holding multiple crypto assets shapes market psychology, contrasts Monero's strict "private by default" model with Zcash's more exchange-friendly design, and explores the shifting exchange landscape with platforms relisting privacy coins. They discuss upcoming technical upgrades, including Zcash's Tachyon and Monero's FCMP++, and highlight how Litecoin leads non-Bitcoin payment volume while Monero dominates privacy-by-default transactions. The episode wraps up with price predictions for Monero and Zcash, along with a focus on the importance of real-world adoption, such as using Monero for everyday purchases.

In this episode, Lex speaks Friederike Ernst, co-founder of Gnosis. Together, they explore the evolution of Gnosis from an Ethereum-based prediction market project into a major infrastructure provider powering over $100 billion in DAO treasuries and $10–15 billion in monthly DEX trading via CowSwap. Tracing the company's journey from a 2017 ICO raising $12.5 million in ETH (now worth ~$450 million) to spinning out critical tools like Safe, CowSwap, and Zodiac, all originally built for internal use.Despite their success, Gnosis recognizes that the crypto-native user base is limited and has now pivoted to building user-centric, mainstream products like the upcoming Gnosis App targeting Gen Z with real-world financial utility. The company emphasizes its founding mission of democratizing financial ownership and warns against complacency as incumbents like Stripe and Robinhood enter the space. Lastly, Gnosis sees a near-term opportunity in AI-agent driven commerce, especially through reverse advertising models that could unlock trillion-dollar markets.NOTABLE DISCUSSION POINTS:The $12.5M ICO That Became a $450M Treasury: Gnosis raised $12.5 million in ETH during their 2017 ICO when ETH was trading at $40. Through conservative treasury management and holding their ETH position, that initial raise has sustained the company for nearly a decade and grown to approximately $450 million today. Friederike attributes this to “conservative treasury management and sheer luck” — a remarkable case study in long-term crypto treasury stewardship.Polymarket Runs on Gnosis Infrastructure: Despite Polymarket's $10B+ valuation and mainstream recognition, it still uses Gnosis's conditional token framework that was written years ago. Friederike acknowledges being “a little salty” that infrastructure they built powers such a significant share of the on-chain prediction market economy without Gnosis directly benefiting financially. It's a stark illustration of the “first up the mountain” dynamic where pioneers clear the path but don't always capture the value.The 19th Century German Banking Parallel: Friederike draws a compelling historical analogy: impoverished German farmers in the 1800s faced predatory moneylenders charging 25-40% interest. They responded by forming collective community banks, lending to each other at 4-6%. Within decades, tens of thousands existed, and one-third of Germans remain members today. She positions crypto's ownership model as the modern equivalent — a cooperative financial revolution for a generation economically disenfranchised by incumbent systems.TOPICSGnosis, Gnosis Safe, CowSwap, Zodiac, CPK, Polymarket, Kalshi, ConsenSys, Ethereum, ETH, AI, AI Agents, ICO, Onchain, Governance, Crypto Treasury, Web3, Blockchain, Finance, Banking, Payments, Custody, WalletsABOUT THE FINTECH BLUEPRINT

American Resources Corp CEO Mark Jensen joined Steve Darling to announce that the company's subsidiary, ReElement Technologies, has entered into a Tokenization Services Agreement with SAGINT Inc., a provider of digital asset infrastructure focused on supply chain traceability and market price transparency. As part of the strategic partnership, American Resources will also take an equity position in SAGINT to support the company's continued expansion and technology development. Jensen explained that the agreement will enable the deployment of blockchain-based tokenization technology to create verifiable digital warehouse receipts and fully traceable digital assets for refined critical and rare earth minerals produced by ReElement. This digital framework is designed to establish end-to-end provenance, tracking materials from their mine origin through refining and final delivery to customers. By embedding traceability directly into the value chain, the system aims to increase transparency, trust, and efficiency across domestic and international markets. Under the partnership, the tokenized assets will also enable secure, borderless financing options, providing greater flexibility for commercial transactions and inventory-backed funding. In addition, the platform is expected to ensure full compliance with evolving U.S. regulatory requirements related to critical mineral sourcing, national security, and supply chain transparency. The solution will offer complete visibility for both commercial and defense customers, helping verify the origin, ownership, and movement of strategic raw materials. American Resources has made an equity commitment to SAGINT as part of the collaboration, reflecting its confidence in the company's technology and long-term growth prospects. Jensen noted that the investment aligns with American Resources' broader strategy to integrate advanced digital tools into its operations while strengthening the resilience and credibility of domestic supply chains. The initiative directly supports American Resources' mission to build and expand environmentally responsible, socially accountable, and fully traceable domestic supply chains for high-purity raw materials. These materials are critical to electrification, defense manufacturing, and next-generation infrastructure development. By combining ReElement's refining capabilities with SAGINT's digital infrastructure, the company aims to set a new standard for transparency, compliance, and efficiency in the critical minerals sector. #proactiveinvestors #americanresourcescorporation #nasdaq #arec #SustainableMining, #MineralRefining, #RecyclingInnovation, #CriticalMinerals, #RareEarthRecycling, #EVRecycling, #BatteryRecycling, #princialminerals #adamjohnson #RareEarths #EWasteRecycling #ReElement #CriticalMinerals #SustainableTech #MagnetRecycling #TechInnovation #GreenSupplyChain #ElectrifiedMaterials

Portfolio Manager at Animoca Brands and former Chief Investment Officer at Node Capital, Shan Han joins Jeremy Au to trace his path from Hong Kong trading to fintech and Web3, discuss how early crypto grew from ideology, and explain why tokenizing assets like student loans can unlock education across Southeast Asia. They explore how customer urgency validates real problems, how global liquidity reshapes emerging markets, and how regulation and permissioned systems will define the future of crypto. Shan also reflects on leaving hedge funds to build companies that solve urgent needs. 06:00 First startup taught real founder lessons: Shan overbuilt the product and underinvested in speaking to customers, which he now sees as his biggest early mistake. 09:00 ICO wave created opportunity and chaos: Node Capital traded markets and backed early tokens as crypto cycles repeated with massive upside and sharp crashes. 10:00 SME lending proved a painkiller need: Borrowers called him for loans before a product even existed, showing that real demand always leads. 14:00 Tokenized student loans expand access: Global liquidity meets local underwriting so students in the Philippines and Indonesia receive financing they previously could not access. 14:55 Benefits emerge for investors, lenders, and borrowers: On-chain capital finds high-quality yield, local lenders scale faster, and students get more affordable financing. 17:15 Blockchain reshapes student loan markets: Unified liquidity, alternative credit models, and on-chain verification make lending systems more efficient and more inclusive. 22:00 Every major asset will become tokenized: Stablecoins lead the way, followed by T Bills and real-world assets as liquidity and tradability improve. 29:00 Courage means leaving comfort for impact: Shan left a hedge fund he loved to build companies because solving real problems mattered more than staying safe.

New pod and a *NEW BOOK* out today!  Kevin sits down with Daniel Ospina and Daniel Stringer from RnDAO to introduce their new book:The Network Firm: How Capital Allocation Changes in the Age of Blockchain and AI. They explore how the traditional theory of the firm is being transformed by lower coordination costs, AI-driven cognition, and blockchain-powered trust enabling a new era of open, fluid, network-native organizations. Together they break down how legacy bureaucratic structures dissolve when work becomes legible, global, and composable and why the next century of coordination will be shaped by networks, not firms.

Send us a textWhat if most of the economy can be automated without anything we'd call real general intelligence? That provocative idea launches a candid tour with Ben Goertzel through the difference between LLM “breadth” and the kind of generalization that marks true AGI. We unpack why today's models are powerful yet limited, how they'll reshape work in the near term, and what ingredients are missing for systems that reason, invent, and move beyond the data that formed them.We dig into a practical path forward: blending deep neural networks with logic engines, evolutionary learning, and a massive knowledge graph so each part amplifies the others. Ben shares how the Hyperon framework and the ASI chain bring AI on-chain, not just coordinated by it. That means a new AGI language, MeTTa, serving as a smart contract language, enabling formal verification, rich composability, and an integrated reputation layer. Together, these tools aim to embed trust into the stack while opening the door to decentralized AI networks that resist capture by any single company or state.Culture, narrative, and emotion matter just as much as code. A robot-led band nearly got booed off stage until the performance was reframed as exploration, not replacement—proof that context shapes how people accept new tools. We follow that thread into creativity, where AI can mix stems, spark ideas, and widen access for musicians, even as some roles compress. The larger question becomes not whether AI can do the job, but what humans will choose to do for meaning, connection, and joy. Along the way, we weigh openness versus control through a proactionary lens and point you to resources to explore decentralized, trustworthy AI.If this conversation challenged your assumptions or sparked new ones, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review to help others find it. Your thoughts shape where we go next—what part of decentralized AGI are you most curious about?This episode was recorded at Web Summit in Lisbon on November 13, 2025.
