Jesse Pollak owns the Base App's social miss, unpacks Robinhood Chain's rise, and explains Brian Armstrong's memecoin moment. ======================================================== Thank you to our sponsor!

Get 33% off your first six months at cape.co/unchained (use code: UNCHAINED). ======================================================== Jesse Pollak spent the week owning a very public miss. In a lengthy post, the Base creator admitted the Base App's social bet had not worked, leaving Base behind in perps, prediction markets and tokenization, and handed the app's reins to Jordan Fish, better known as Cobie. Pollak joins Laura Shin to unpack why the pivot happened now, what he makes of Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong's memecoin controversy over a token called $BRIAN, and how Base plans to compete as Robinhood Chain outpaces it on daily active users, according to Artemis data. They cover Base's move off Optimism's stack onto its own Azul, Beryl and Cobalt upgrades, a roadmap toward 20,000 transactions per second under the new B20 stablecoin standard, and the x402 agentic payments protocol already handling roughly 90% of Base's transaction volume. Pollak argues less than 1% of the world uses crypto, and that Base's bet is on whoever builds the trusted rails first.

An OpenAI model hacked Hugging Face to cheat its own test.

Kain Warwick and Taylor Monahan trace why Base swung so hard at social instead of perps and prediction markets, and argue Coinbase's bottomless-money culture, the same one that let Google build Android on a whim, makes it nearly impossible for founders to know when a bet has genuinely failed. They also unpack Brian Armstrong's memecoin profile-picture flap, arguing the outrage is almost entirely manufactured by traders chasing volatility, the North Korean IT workers still quietly inside much of the crypto industry, and the strangest story of the week: an unreleased OpenAI model that chained two zero-day exploits to escape its test sandbox and hack Hugging Face's benchmarking servers for the answers. The episode closes on an uncomfortable question: if a model will cheat on a security test just to avoid not knowing its score, what else will it break to get there?

Welcome back to Crypto Curious. Joining us in the studio this week is a very special guest, James Coombes, Chief Commercial Officer at Block Earner. James has helped lead one of Australia's biggest crypto success stories, with Block Earner launching Bitcoin-backed home loans, securing its Australian Credit Licence and taking home the 2026 Finnies Award for Excellence in Consumer Lending.
Jesse Pollak, de man achter Base, noemt zijn eigen socialestrategie een mislukking. De Base App had moeten uitgroeien tot een allesomvattende cryptoapp, een gedecentraliseerd sociaal netwerk waarin gebruikers zelf eigenaar zijn van hun profiel en connecties in plaats van een centrale partij als Facebook of X. In een lang bericht op X schreef Pollak vorige week dat hij het definitief mis had. Waar ontwikkelaars met producten als stablecoins en voorspellingsmarkten wel groei realiseerden, kwamen de sociale toepassingen niet van de grond. Pollak geeft de leiding over de app terug aan moederbedrijf Coinbase, waar Jordan Fish, in cryptokringen bekend als Cobie, het overneemt. Zelf richt hij zich voortaan volledig op Base, het tweedelaagsnetwerk op ethereum dat transacties sneller en goedkoper wil afwikkelen. Blijft de vraag of dit soort socialecryptoprojecten ooit een kans van slagen hadden. Van een mislukking naar een primeur. Vermogensbeheerder T. Rowe Price, met 1,9 biljoen dollar onder beheer, bracht deze week het eerste actief beheerde multitoken cryptofonds op de Amerikaanse beurs. Zo'n exchange traded fund, kortweg etf, is een beursgenoteerd mandje beleggingen dat je in een keer koopt. Waar de bestaande bitcoin en ethereum etf's een vaste index volgen, mogen de beheerders van dit fonds de samenstelling zelf aanpassen aan de markt. In het mandje zitten onder meer bitcoin, ethereum, BNB, solana, XRP en Hyperliquid. Je betaalt er voorlopig 0,75 procent beheervergoeding voor, een tarief dat vanaf mei 2027 oploopt naar 0,9 procent. De vraag is voor wie zo'n actief beheerd fonds geschikt is, en of die afdracht opweegt tegen een goedkopere indexvariant. Tot slot een waarschuwing uit Frankfurt. De Europese Centrale Bank vreest dat de opkomst van stablecoins, cryptomunten die een op een gekoppeld zijn aan een gewone munt als de dollar, spaargeld kan wegtrekken bij traditionele banken. Bestuurslid Piero Cipollone van de ECB hield Europese banken voor dat ze met mobiele betaalapps al kosten en klantdata verliezen, en dat daar met stablecoins ook nog eens hun deposito's bij kunnen komen. Voor banken is dat geen boekhoudkundig detail, want juist met die deposito's verstrekken ze leningen. Cipollone noemt de digitale euro de enige structurele oplossing, al levert die geen rente op je spaargeld op. Dat een bestuurder van de ECB waarschuwt voor stablecoins en tegelijk het eigen alternatief aanprijst, roept de vraag op hoe zwaar die waarschuwing weegt. In de Verenigde Staten moet de GENIUS Act, precies een jaar geleden ondertekend, een vergelijkbaar risico juist indammen. Co-host is Jacob Boersma. Over de podcast Cryptocurrency are here to stay.

Cap's founders on shrinking their Stabledrop from $11M to $4M — plus a $23M hack traced toward North Korea, a BarnBridge governance exploit, and Kain's case to force weak L2s to become their own L1s. ======================================================== Thank you to our sponsors! Cape: Your biggest crypto vulnerability isn't your wallet, it's your phone number. Cape is America's privacy-first mobile carrier that rotates your SIM identity daily and blocks SIM swaps before they happen. Get 33% off your first six months at https://cape.co/unchained (use code: UNCHAINED). ======================================================== Cap committed to a roughly 11 million dollar Stabledrop in February, promising early users stablecoins instead of tokens. A delayed token sale raised less than hoped, and the reward shrank to about 4 million, forcing a fast rewrite of who got paid. Benjamin Sarquis Peillard, Founder and CEO of Cap, and Weso of Cap join Kain Warwick and Taylor Monahan to walk through a restructuring that made yield-token holders whole, left farmers without a windfall, and argue points programs are an uncapped marketing expense many projects cannot afford. The conversation widens into EthSystems, a new Ethereum Foundation spinout backed by Joe Lubin, SharpLink and BitMine, Jesse Pollak handing Base product leadership to Cobie, Robinhood Chain's Morpho integration, and whether Ethereum mainnet undercharges L2s. They revisit BarnBridge's SEC-era DAO structure, a dormant governance exploit, a MetaMask and Revoke.cash delegation tool, and a 23 million dollar Ostium hack Taylor traced toward North Korea. Kain closes with a Three Mile Island analogy: complex systems fail not from one mistake, but from small shortcuts compounding at once.

Returning to sport after an ACL injury is often framed around a single construct: fear of reinjury. But what if fear doesn't tell the whole story?In today's episode, Chelsea and Marquis speak with Cobie Starcevich about her team's qualitative evidence synthesis exploring how athletes experience and interpret reinjury concerns after ACL injury.The team's findings suggest that what clinicians commonly label as "fear of reinjury" is actually a much broader, nuanced experience encompassing altered beliefs, assessments of threat, behavioral and cognitive coping strategies, physiological sensations, and concerns about the future.Cobie explains what the findings mean for clinicians, and how clinicians can move beyond fear and into exploring the multidimensional experiences of injury with patients.------------------------------RESOURCESQualitative evidence synthesis of athletes' experience and interpretation of reinjury concerns after ACL injury: https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jospt.2026.13852

This week, I talk with Cobie LaJeanne about her pitch-black thriller Blood in the Cradle. We dive into her inspiration for the story, how the book developed over time, and what it was like creating a detective with synesthesia!Blood in the Cradle SynopsisWhen decorated detective Chloe Van Belle receives a call about a severed limb in a fountain, she dreads returning to Encounters, a renowned angel-worshipping church tied to her dark childhood wounds. She's further shocked to learn six-year-old Lillian vanished [from the congregation] without being reported.Chloe's half-sister Rosie, a devout believer engaged to the reverend's son, remains unwavering that everything unfolds according to divine will, refusing to see the evil in front of her.An eerie search leads to Lillian's body tucked in a cradle with a vintage watch, linking the crime to a similar murder twenty years ago. The gruesome scene triggers Chloe's morbid fascination with death, making her visual-gustatory synesthesia, which gives murder a literal sweet taste, harder to hide. With Chloe's nightmares and half-memories resurfacing, she engages in a macabre game of cat and mouse with the killer.As casualties grow and evidence points to the highest levels of the church leadership, Chloe must protect Rosie and her team—but is it from a monster or herself?

Welcome back to the podcast! I'm so excited to share my conversation with Kathrin Smirke. Kathrin is a designer, a photographer, and she lives on the beautiful Mendocino Coast of Northern California with her husband Brian, their rescued Great Pyrenees, Daisy, and their two adopted kitties, Cobie and Bruno. In this conversation, we dive into the art of slowing down, of listening to the whispers of intuition, and of building a life that nourishes the soul. Kathrin shares how her journey led her away from the fast-paced world of entertainment into the rhythm of nature—living amongst the redwoods, tending to her animals, and immersing herself in creative practices.We explore the balance between the masculine and feminine energies in our lives, the power of trusting our instincts, and the deep ancestral wisdom found in simple, meditative acts like baking, canning, and tea rituals. This episode is an invitation to reflect on what it truly means to cultivate a life of beauty, meaning, and presence. Enjoy! Xo, BrookeWork with me: brookembaldwin.com

Crypto networks are meant to be decentralized, community owned systems. But they're turned out to be dominated by whales and to have more mercenaries who are just interested in getting free tokens to dump them, rather than having long-term believers who want to build the ecosystem. How can tokens be launched in a way that gets token holders aligned with long-term success? Today's guests, Mike Dudas, founding partner of 6th Man Ventures, and Matt O'Connor, co-founder of Legion, believe there's room for improvement. In this episode, they share how Legion aims to reshape the process, focusing on fair distribution, incentivizing organic user growth, and building loyal communities. They explore Legion's approach to token sales, its compatibility with regulatory frameworks, and why it might be the key to bringing new people into crypto. Show highlights: How Legion was born and what its main goal is The problems with how token launches currently work Why projects don't want to return to the ICO model Whether the criteria to earn a better reputation on Legion is gameable How Legion actually works and what the role of KYC is What type of regulatory framework Legion is leveraging How MiCA's rules for token offerings allowed for this type of project to emerge Whether the U.S. should follow Europe in establishing a crypto framework like MiCA What the business model of Legion is What the difference is between Legion and other similar platforms such as Cobie's Echo Whether token sales is a better distribution mechanism than airdrops Visit our website for breaking news, analysis, op-eds, articles to learn about crypto, and much more: unchainedcrypto.com Thank you to our sponsors!

Erik Voorhees' latest venture, Venice, is a private, uncensorable, open-source AI agent run on decentralized computation. Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pods, Fountain, Overcast, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Amazon Music, or on your favorite podcast platform.Erik Voorhees, a crypto OG, has launched Venice, a private, uncensorable, open-source competitor to OpenAI's ChatGPT or Anthropic's Claude, powered by a decentralized crypto network. In the episode, Erik and Venice's COO Teana Baker-Taylor delve into the problems with censorship and data in current AI agents, including how they create honeypots of information about users' search history for hackers, or that they can be absurdly politically correct, such as refusing to create images of Caucasian people. As they point out, there's also the risk that the companies managing them could be censoring the models to please the Chinese government, in order to access the market in that country. They talk about their plan for Venice to gain market share, considering that DuckDuckGo, a privacy-preserving competitor to Google, has a much smaller market share. And they explain why they intend for Venice to eventually use the compute of Morpheus, or other decentralized crypto-powered compute networks. They also critique the SEC's current regulatory approach to crypto, calling it “a joke.” Additionally, they explore the concept of AI agents using cryptocurrencies as their primary currency.Show highlights:Why Erik decided to move into artificial intelligence and merge it with cryptoWhat problems decentralized AI would solve and why it's hard to solve sexist and racist views in LLMsThe differences between ChatGPT, and other similar products, and Venice AIWhy privacy is so important for users, according to Erik, and how Venice doesn't store the users' informationHow central governments could manipulate information to their own benefit and how to avoid itWhether people will shift from using search engines to LLMsWhat Morpheus is and its goal to provide decentralized computation for AIHow Erik and Teana believe crypto and AI will continue to work together Erik's and Teana's thoughts on some of the recent government actions against founders of crypto privacy services such as Samourai Wallet and Tornado CashWhy Erik believes that the SEC has become a jokeVisit Unchained's website for breaking news, analysis, op-eds, articles to learn about crypto, and much more: unchainedcrypto.comFirst Bits + Bips episode: Bits + Bips: Does Macroeconomics Point to a Potential Crypto Supercycle?Thank you to our sponsors!

Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pods, Fountain, Overcast, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Castbox, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or on your favorite podcast platform. Thomas Braziel, managing partner at 117 Partners, dives into the draft FTX bankruptcy plan, which was praised for paying out at more than 100% in dollar terms, but has a number of intricacies that are drawing criticisms from creditors—including a group that is urging creditors to vote not.

Lawyer Brian Klein joins the show to explain why Sam Bankman-Fried being locked up makes it “much tougher” for his legal team. This week, the judge presiding over the case said SBF went too far in attempting to intimidate key witnesses – chief among them former Alameda Research co-CEO (and ex-flame) Caroline Ellison. Will a jail cell change SBF's defiant tune ahead of a hotly anticipated October trial date? Klein weighs in. Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Stitcher, Castbox, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or on your favorite podcast platform. Show highlights: why the detention of SBF changes the dynamics of the trial preparation why Brian believes that the appeal to the detention won't prevail whether these new conditions will lead to a request for a delay of the trial whether the fact that SBF is now in jail will make him more interested in a plea deal why both the prosecution and the defense have filed motions to limit allowable evidence and what that means for the trial what the short-term future of the trial looks like how long a trial like this would take to play out Thank you to our sponsors!

Lucas Nuzzi, head of R&D at CoinMetrics, and Larry Cermak, VP of research at The Block, discuss the current state of the crypto market, including the potential for contagion effects and the challenges faced by VC companies. They also delve into the mining industry and the issues surrounding MEV and Ethereum. The conversation also touches on stablecoins, DeFi activity and NFT trading, and the potential dangers of Binance's dominance in the industry. Show highlights: how the collapse in 2022 of FTX and other behemoths will affect the industry in 2023 why there's been a lot of forced selling in the markets recently why the industry could still be headed to more contagion effects the characteristics of the current bear market, how it differs from previous ones, and the role of the macroeconomic environment why it's very hard to predict how prices will behave in 2023 why VC firms will have to focus on long-term projects rather than speculation what's going to happen in the Bitcoin mining industry in 2023 considering the current tough situation why Lucas thinks that Bitcoin "drastically overpays for security" why MEV is a concerning issue and how it represents a single point of failure for Ethereum how the narrative of alternative layer 1s has changed and why the focus will shift to layer 2s whether there is a need to develop better blockchain monitoring tools why stablecoin issuers have a very good business model given the interest rate environment what are the problems of stablecoins and how they will be regulated why DeFi activity and NFT trading were down so heavily in 2022 and whether the downtrend will change how Binance's dominance is "terrifying" and whether it could hurt the industry Lucas' concerns about the lack of transparency around Binance's BNB token Thank you to our sponsors!

Martin Shkreli, entrepreneur, investor and convicted white-collar criminal, talks about the new judge assigned to the case against Sam Bankman-Fried, whether Sam's going to plead guilty or not, and the potential involvement of his family in the lawsuit. Show highlights: whether Sam Bankman-Fried truly did not have money to post bail why the government did not restrict Sam's usage of the internet and social media why Martin thinks the new judge assigned to the case, Judge Lewis Kaplan, is good for SBF how many years Judge Kaplan could sentence SBF to, given his unusual work experience whether there's still a chance that Sam could paint this case as a business failure how defense attorneys will likely try to exploit the romantic relationship between Ellison and SBF in their favor why it is unlikely that SBF will plead guilty on the January 3rd arraignment date what a telemarketing fraudster case has to do with FTX how the prosecutors could indict SBF's family if he doesn't plead guilty how a jury would be selected whether Sam has enough funds to pay for a decent lawyer and how that's going to affect the case how Martin learned about crypto while he was in prison how prisoners engage with crypto while incarcerated whether Sam could run a business from prison Thank you to our sponsors!

This episode of Unchained looks back on a tumultuous year for the cryptocurrency industry in 2022. Significant events such as the bankruptcies of FTX, Three Arrows Capital, Celsius, Voyager, BlockFi, and the collapse of Terra/LUNA, led to billions being lost due to market plunges and also due to numerous hacks. This year also brought the Ethereum Merge, one of the most awaited events in crypto's short history. Amidst the turmoil, true believers like Chris Burniske saw a silver lining, while the crypto community watched for the further fallout of this year's crypto contagion to play out.

Martin Shkreli, entrepreneur and investor, talks about what Sam Bankman-Fried's potential life in prison could look like. As a former white-collar criminal, Martin had a lot to say about prison culture, how judge selection affects sentencing, and more. Show highlights: why Martin says that the prosecution part of the case is the most difficult to endure why he thought Sam had "no chance at bail" (although shortly after we recorded, news broke that Sam had been released on what is believed to be the largest bail bond ever – $250 million) whether SBF should plead guilty and hope to be favored by his cooperation what jails in New York are like and how the other inmates might treat SBF whether SBF will be in danger if he goes to prison and Martin's suggestions for him if he wants to survive why the FTX's case is so unprecedented, especially considering the current sentencing guidelines Martin's take on Ronnie Abrams, the judge in charge of the case, and why her selection will be good for SBF whether Caroline Ellison made a mistake by pleading guilty to so many counts why Gary Wang would likely face a tough time in prison for ratting out SBF Thank you to our sponsors!

What a year. Cobie, crypto investor and host of UpOnly, and Chris Burniske, partner at Placeholder Ventures, sift through 2022's rubble for clues as to what lies ahead in 2023. The two bright lights of Crypto Twitter weigh in on SBF's fraud, how to succeed through the bear market, and what remains promising despite the gloom and doom. Show highlights: why 2022 is “the hangover of 2021” why this year's big meltdowns were different and dispiriting why it was actually a year to remind us of why we're all here how the underlying protocols didn't skip a beat how to survive the bear market what Chris feels guilty about in the wake of Alameda's collapse why Cobie hopes SBF spends life in jail whether people will actually use decentralized alternatives – or if banking-like relationships will prevail what Chris sees as the 2023 version of proof-of-stake in 2017 why Cobie thinks bitcoin is an area of opportunity over the next few years whether the multichain thesis (“Solunavax”) will ever rise again whether the contagion is over if disgraced figureheads deserve a second chance a lightning round lookback on 2022 Thank you to our sponsors!

Show topics: the details of the SEC and CFTC complaints how crypto traders have always speculated about Alameda's preferential treatment whether many people knew about the mismanagement of funds and alleged fraud why Haseeb thinks SBF was a "f*cking psycho" how helpful Tarun believes a testimony from Sam Trabucco, former co-CEO of Alameda, would be why Alameda and FTX lost billions of dollars, and the poor diligence of SBF's venture investments Sam's "ineffective altruism" why a bull market wouldn't have solved the insolvency problems of FTX whether SBF will fight extradition and how long it would take how Sam's consistent use of Facebook and his anti-Maker stand shows he was not a crypto-native why Laura thinks that The Block CEO's undisclosed loans represent a "total betrayal" Robert's take on the ineffectiveness of the government's control of information why Binance is under scrutiny and whether it's the "next FTX" Hosts Haseeb Qureshi, managing partner at Dragonfly Capital Tarun Chitra, managing partner at Robot Ventures Robert Leshner, founder of Compound Guest: Laura Shin, author, host of Unchained Episode Links FTX: Unchained:CFTC and SEC File Damning Complaints Against Sam Bankman-Fried and FTX SBF Denied Bail in The Bahamas, Will Remain in Fox Hill Prison Former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried Arrested Amid US Indictment Bahamas Asked SBF to Mint Hundreds of Millions of Dollars' Worth of New Tokens After Collapse, Say FTX Liquidators SBF Directed $8B Alameda Liabilities to an FTX Account He Called ‘Weird Korean,' Says CFTC Forbes: Despite Boasting Of Big Profits, FTX And Alameda Lost $3.7 Billion Before 2022 Bloomberg: FTX Bankruptcy Standoff Heats Up as Bahamas Challenges US Case Sam Bankman-Fried's Harsh Bahamas Jail Could Shift His Stance on Extradition Fortune: Sam Bankman-Fried indicted on multiple conspiracy and fraud charges by U.S. officials Previous coverage of Unchained on Sam Bankman-Fried and FTX:How Much Prison Time Is FTX's Sam Bankman-Fried Facing?

Ari Redbord, head of legal and government affairs at TRM Labs, discusses all the charges that Sam Bankman-Fried is facing and their potential outcomes. Show highlights: the charges against SBF and why the criminal indictment is the most important whether SBF testifying in Congress would have complicated the DOJ's criminal case against him why it is complicated to state how much prison time Sam is facing the ways in which Bankman-Fried can reduce his sentence by cooperating with authorities why it's so unprecedented that the indictment came only one month after the collapse of FTX whether other senior FTX executives are providing prosecutors with information to reduce their charges the reasons why SBF is being held in The Bahamas and the likelihood of him being extradited how much the case will be delayed if SBF's lawyers fight the extradition Ari's thoughts on whether this case will go to trial Take Unchained's 2022 survey!
