In deze aflevering van Nieuws van de Week bespreken Ad Verbrugge, Kees de Kort en Rogier van Bemmel toenemende druk op de vrijheid van meningsuiting, de veranderende rol van de media en de groeiende kloof tussen macht en publieke opinie. We staan stil bij Europese regelgeving en sancties, en wat die zeggen over de staat van de democratische rechtsorde.Daarnaast analyseren we de internationale context: de oorlog in Oekraïne, de positie van Europa en de verschuiving naar een multipolaire wereld. Tot slot reflecteren we op de bredere gevolgen van technologische en culturele veranderingen en de noodzaak van meer realisme in politiek en beleid.--------------------eindejaarsactie ---------------------Maak het geluid van de Nieuwe Wereld volgend jaar ook mogelijk.

Episode 218 finds me recording the podcast home alone the day after Christmas because Megs is stuck on Long Island thanks to an ice storm, which leaves me, my dog, four vodka shots, and a microphone to unpack everything wrong with adulthood, holidays, politics, the internet, and money. I talk about why I am officially done opening gifts forever, why grown adults do not need Funko Pops or graphic tees, and why the only acceptable Christmas loopholes involve cash or household gifts Megs opens for both of us. I explain how family gatherings improve dramatically when you time edibles correctly, how the stress drops, the noise fades, and life feels manageable again. From there I break down Nicki Minaj taking a massive paycheck to headline Turning Point USA, flipping on years of public positions, praising politicians her audience opposes, ignoring the fact she cannot vote, and why the entire event felt calculated, uncomfortable, and hollow. I react to Joe Budden's response, the internet fallout, and why this move damaged trust across culture and fandom. I then roast the AI Christmas photo trend, the sparkly romper epidemic, bad prompts, lazy re-renders, and why most people do not resemble their AI alter ego despite pretending otherwise. I shut down the viral environmental panic posts about AI destroying the planet, explain why the water usage claims are misleading, and point out industries quietly doing far more damage while everyone yells at computers. I close by breaking down Logan Paul's Liquid Marketplace mess, the fractional ownership of the PSA 10 Pikachu Illustrator card, how money flowed in, payouts never landed, accountability disappeared, and why this situation looks like CryptoZoo with better branding and the same outcome. This episode is a full post-Christmas spiral covering family, money, internet delusion, celebrity hypocrisy, and why none of this should surprise anyone anymore.**********Disclaimer: We at the What are We Doing podcast want to make it clear that the views and opinions expressed in this video belong solely to the speakers or authors and do not represent the views and opinions held by YouTube, its partners, or its owners.We must also emphasize that the information contained in this video has been produced with no warranty, expressed or implied, regarding the validity, accuracy, reliability, completeness, legality, or usefulness of what is said or expressed.

New infrastructure primitives are creating entirely new rails for building.In this episode of Big Ideas 2026, we explore three foundational shifts that unlock new markets and workflows, not through incremental upgrades, but through primitives that compound over time.First, programmable money evolves beyond stablecoins into on-chain credit origination and synthetic financial products, offering lower operational costs and greater composability than traditional finance. Second, autonomy begins entering scientific research through collaborative labs, where AI reasoning models work alongside automation and robotics, and interpretability becomes essential for progress. Third, distribution itself becomes a primitive, as AI-native startups win early by selling to other startups at formation, then scale alongside the next generation of companies.You will hear from Guy Willette on the next phase of on-chain finance, Oliver Shu on autonomous labs and AI-assisted discovery, and James da Costa on the greenfield go-to-market strategy.Together, these ideas define what new infrastructure primitives really mean: the rails that enable entirely new systems to emerge, compound, and scale.

An investigation by The Indian Express, in partnership with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), has revealed how cryptocurrency has increasingly become a channel for money laundering, creating a shadow economy that regulators around the world are struggling to keep up with.In this episode, we speak with The Indian Express's Ritu Sarin, Soumyarendra Barik, and Jay Mazoomdar, who led the India leg of Coin Laundry — a 10 month global investigation involving 113 reporters across 38 newsrooms, including The New York Times. They discuss how crypto exchanges have facilitated illicit transactions, the challenges this poses for law enforcement agencies, and why the Indian government has yet to pass legislation to regulate this industry.Hosted, written and produced by Shashank BhargavaEdited and mixed by Suresh Pawar

In this episode of the Crypto 101 Podcast, Bitwise Head of Research Ryan Rasmussen breaks down why crypto markets feel weak despite historic progress in regulation, ETFs, and institutional access. He highlights a major disconnect between price action and fundamentals, pointing to record ETF inflows—especially into Solana—as evidence of long-term conviction. Ryan makes a strong case for crypto indexing, arguing that broad exposure consistently outperforms asset picking for both advisors and retail investors. Looking ahead to 2026, he outlines a bullish outlook driven by regulatory clarity, tokenization, DeFi's resurgence, and growing adoption across both crypto assets and equities.Check out Gemini Exchange: https://gemini.comCheck out TruDiagnostic and use my code CRYPTO101 for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comCheck out Quince: https://quince.com/CRYPTO101Get immediate access to my entire crypto portfolio for just $1.00 today!

We explore why crypto options remain a niche, what is holding back retail adoption, and how regulation, education, and access will shape the next phase of crypto markets. - Why crypto options attract sophisticated traders, not mass retail - How regulation and licensing determine who can be marketed to and where - Why customer acquisition is far more expensive for derivatives platforms - The role of education in driving real adoption beyond hype - How institutional dominance and better infrastructure are reshaping crypto derivatives

Hola mi gente! Today we are going to read, translate and listen about the Christmas in some Latin American countries and we are going to listen some interesting facts and traditions. I will be reading in Spanish very slowly and you will try to understand word by word. You will be learning some interesting words and new vocabulary and also you will be improving your listening skills in Spanish. I will translate the song in English and then read in Spanish again in a normal speed but explaining some words at the same time..

Al ser un país con fuerte influencia europea, específicamente de Italia y España, los argentinos suelen reunirse en Noche Buena para disfrutar de un asado argentino como platillo principal, y para la sobremesa suelen comer panettone, un pan italiano de temporada. Finalmente, a la medianoche se congregan en la iglesia para la clásica "misa de gallo".BrasilEn Brasil, los brasileños también disfrutan del clima veraniego durante las festividades navideñas, por ello, sus tradiciones para la temporada también giran entorno a las actividades al aire libre y la convivencia familiar. En el centro de Laguna Rodrigo de Freitas de Río de Janeiro se levanta el impresionante "árvore de natal da lagoa", un árbol de Navidad de aproximadamente 85 metros de altura. ColombiaEn Colombia la Navidad comienza el 07 de diciembre con el "Día de las Velitas". Se trata de un festejo que se lleva a cabo en la víspera de la celebración de la Inmaculada Concepción, donde los creyentes salen a las calles con velas que llenan las puertas de los hogares para guiar el camino de la Virgen.PerúCada año en Cusco se organiza el mercado de Navidad también conocido como Santuranticuy o Venta de los Santos, donde comerciantes de todo Perú se reunén en la Plaza de Armas para vender sus productos religiosos, textiles navideños o comidas típicas.VenezuelaSe lleva a cabo una curiosa celebración llamada "las patinatas". En ella, avenidas enteras son cerradas para que niños y adultos puedan salir a patinar, ya sea en bicicleta, patines o patinetas. Mientras patinan, la gente disfruta de los villancicos que hacen que el ambiente se sienta súper festivo.ChileAl igual que en los otros festejos navideños latinos, en Chile también celebran esta fecha junto a seres queridos, pero algo especial que hacen los niños es abrir sus regalos justo a la media noche y salir a la calle a mostrarlos a sus amigos.EcuadorEn la capital de Ecuador se hacen las tradiciones esenciales, como las Novenas o la Misa de Noche Buena, así como la cena. Sin embargo, en las múltiples provincias del país las celebraciones son muy variadas. Por ejemplo, en Carchi adornan el árbol de Navidad natural más grande del país, y en Cañar organizan un desfile el 24 de diciembre al que algunos niños asisten vestidos de varios personajes bíblicos.PanamáDebido a que también en Panamá se celebra la Navidad bajo el sol de verano, la estética de la celebración es más bien de colores llamativos y flores tropicales. Por ello, días antes de las fechas importantes, los residentes acostumbran a pintar las fachadas de sus casas. Además, es una preparación especial para el Desfile de Navidad Anual My new Youtube channel: Spanish with Dennishttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQVuRUMQGwtzBIp1YAImQFQMy new Discord server and chat and you can already join and write to me there:https://discord.gg/HWGrnmTmyCMy new Telegram channel and you can already join and write to me or comment there:https://t.me/SpanishwithDennisJoin my Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/spanishwithdennisSupport me by joining my podcasts supporter club on Spreaker:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/slow-spanish-language--5613080/supportDonate with Boosty:https://boosty.to/spanishwithdennis/donateDonate with Donation Alerts:https://www.donationalerts.com/r/dennisespinosaDonate with Crypto currency:Bitcoin (BTC)1DioiGPAQ6yYbEgcxEFRxWm5hZJcfLG9V6USDT (ERC20)0xeb8f678c0b8d37b639579662bf653be762e60855USDT (TRC20)TXoQwsaiTGBpWVkyeigApLT8xC82rQwRCNEthereum (ETH)0xeb8f678c0b8d37b639579662bf653be762e60855If you have any other suggestions or recommendations on what other platform you can support me and my podcasts, please let me know.

In this episode of the Crypto 101 Podcast, CoinShares CEO Jean-Marie Mognetti joins Bryce to unpack how institutional adoption of crypto is unfolding in real time. He explains why Bitcoin ETFs, Ethereum exposure, and digital asset treasury companies are driving growth—but also creating short-term technical pressure through trade unwinds. Mognetti emphasizes that institutions are still in the earliest learning phase, while retail has led adoption, flipping the traditional investment pyramid. He closes by stressing long-term conviction, disciplined portfolio construction, and the importance of not confusing temporary market mechanics with Bitcoin's broader macro trajectory.Check out Gemini Exchange: https://gemini.comCheck out TruDiagnostic and use my code CRYPTO101 for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comCheck out Quince: https://quince.com/CRYPTO101Get immediate access to my entire crypto portfolio for just $1.00 today!

Visit our website for breaking news, analysis, op-eds, articles to learn about crypto, and much more: unchainedcrypto.com Security remains work in progress for crypto — and that may be putting it mildly. This year Bybit was hacked for $1.5 billion, the largest exploit ever, crypto or otherwise. In this Unchained episode, Security Alliance members explain how crypto exploits have evolved, why smart contracts are no longer the primary vulnerability and why a security plan alone may not be enough. They take us inside how North Koreans are getting jobs at crypto and tech companies and how they operate. Plus, best practices for individuals that intend to hold their assets for the long-term. Test transactions and 2FA based on authenticator apps may not be ideal. Thank you to our sponsors, Uniswap and Mantle!

Ryan and David skip a quiet holiday weekly rollup and instead break down the biggest 2026 crypto forecasts from Bitwise, Coinbase, Galaxy, Grayscale, CoinShares, Fidelity, a16z, and Pantera. They lay out the clearest consensus, stablecoins as real payment rails, tokenization scaling beyond pilots, and ETFs expanding institutional access, then hit the big debates around regulation, prediction markets, token value capture, and the growing quantum question for Bitcoin. ------

Omar explains his background in the StarkNet ecosystem, his alignment with Monero's privacy-first values, and a personal experience that led him to prioritize financial privacy. The discussion focuses on a new atomic swap design enabled by StarkNet's recent move to BLAKE2s hashing, allowing low-cost, peer-to-peer swaps where cryptographic guarantees ensure either both parties succeed or both fail. By leveraging audited, open-source code from the Monero community (notably Serai and Commit Network), the project allows Monero users to access broader liquidity and Ethereum DeFi without wrapped assets or trusted bridges. Omar outlines StarkNet's evolving privacy roadmap, and his intention to present the work at Monero Topia, as part of a broader resurgence in privacy-focused crypto infrastructure.

In the latest episode of Tin Foil Hat, Sam Tripoli welcomes Matt Ehret for a condensed but provocative discussion on America's hidden history and its alleged ties to the occult, including Benjamin Franklin's efforts to bring Canada into the early United States. The conversation explores a spider web of secret societies, the role of Freemasonry among the Founding Fathers, and how power networks are said to stretch across centuries. Ehret also draws bold connections between the Jack the Ripper mystery and what he calls the “Kevin Bacon” of conspiracies, linking it all to the greater Israel project.Please check out Matt Ehret's book: "Revenge Of The Mystery Cults"- https://bit.ly/4scPBlOPlease subscribe to the new Tin Foil Hat youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TinFoilHatYoutubeGrab your copy of the 2nd issue of the Chaos Twins now and join the Army Of Chaos:https://bit.ly/415fDfYCheck out Sam "DoomScrollin with Sam Tripoli and Midnight Mike" Every Tuesday At 4pm pst on Youtube, X Twitter, Rumble and Rokfin!Join the WolfPack at Wise Wolf Gold and Silver and start hedging your financial position by investing in precious metals now!

Thank you to our sponsor, Mantle. Sign up for their hackathon here!After a “weird” year in the markets, hosts Ram Ahluwalia and Christopher Perkins are joined by Ava Labs' President John Wu for a candid debate about where crypto really is in the cycle—and what needs to happen next. The panel wrestles with a question many investors are quietly asking: has the market washed out enough to set up the next move, or is something still missing? They explore why momentum has faded, what signs would suggest it's coming back, and why 2026 keeps coming up in long-term conversations—even as near-term enthusiasm remains divided. Plus, why TGEs are “dying” and, with the rise of super apps, does Coinbase has an edge on Web2 players like Robinhood?

Is the crypto cycle already over? Ben Cowen returns to break down what a post-euphoria cycle looks like, why Bitcoin may have already topped, and how 2026 could play out across crypto, stocks, and macro. We explore the case for a prolonged bear market, why a true alt season may not arrive, and the narrow scenarios where Ethereum could still make a fleeting run at new highs. From Fed policy and labor markets to AI stealing investor attention, this episode maps the competing paths ahead and what patient investors should be watching next. ------
What is the D.C.-crypto revolving door? Outgoing CFTC Acting Chair Caroline Pham is heading to MoonPay, marking the latest high-profile move from D.C. to the crypto sector.

Mike and I discuss why we're "nervous bulls" on markets—with the Fed cutting rates and Trump pumping money into the economy, valuations look attractive, but an exploding wealth inequality gap and growing political backlash could trigger a revolution that ends the bull market. We dive into housing affordability (half of America earns below what's needed to buy a home), tokenization's global impact, Abu Dhabi's rise as a financial hub, and what economic warning signs would make us turn bearish.

Joey Krug (Founders Fund partner, former Pantera co-CIO, and Augur co-founder) returns to unpack whether the “crypto-native era” is fading as institutions and mainstream apps adopt crypto rails without adopting crypto culture. We dig into prediction markets' breakout (and why Polymarket finally found product-market fit), the coming regulatory fights around market structure and “insider” edges, and what's next for founders building in a post-cypherpunk, distribution-first phase of crypto. ------

Welcome back to another hour of digital cynicism. We kick things off with a FOLLOW UP on Amazon's Fallout recaps, which were apparently so hallucination-heavy they made the actual wasteland look organized; naturally, they've been nuked along with the "Video Recaps" feature. In a massive dose of IN THE NEWS, Tesla is finally getting a legal side-eye in California for its deceptive "Autopilot" branding, while TikTok is performing a corporate shell game by selling a 45% stake to Oracle and friends to keep the feds happy. Reddit is fighting Australia's under-16 ban like it's a constitutional crisis, Louisiana's age-verification law just got benched by a judge, and Merriam-Webster officially crowned "slop" as the Word of the Year—which is fitting, given that OpenAI is selectively hiding chat logs from murder-suicides while their Chief Scientist warns that recursive AI self-improvement might end the human experiment by 2030. If the "intelligence explosion" doesn't get us, the CRASH Clock says we've got roughly 2.8 days before Elon's satellite swarm turns low-earth orbit into a permanent scrapyard.In our MEDIA CANDY segment, we mourn the transition year of Star Trek, which was mostly a series of unmitigated disasters and corporate retreats, though the Oscars moving to YouTube in 2029 means we can finally ignore them in 4K. Meta is testing a "pay-to-share-links" feature because they clearly haven't alienated creators enough, and a new study suggests Amazon's "dynamic pricing" is basically just a high-tech way to gouge public school districts for pencils. Moving to APPS & DOODADS, iOS 26.2 is here with a "Liquid Glass" slider—groundbreaking stuff, really—while Microsoft's Copilot+ push is effectively killing the laptop market by making 16GB of RAM a luxury item only a data center could love. Meanwhile, iRobot has officially sucked its last bit of dust into a Chapter 11 filing, proving that even a twenty-year head start can't save you from a 46 percent tariff and better Chinese competition.AT THE LIBRARY, we find out that librarians are ready to quit because people keep demanding books that only exist in a ChatGPT hallucination, proving once again that the "Information Age" was a lie. We descend into THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE with the tireless Dave Bittner to discuss why modern movies feel like plastic, the bizarre paradox of James Cameron's Avatar dominance, and a bittersweet farewell to Rob Reiner. We wrap it up with the return of The Muppets, a look at plug-in solar panels for the budget-conscious prepper, and the Sedaris siblings proving that even grief can be a podcast topic. It's all the tech "progress" you never asked for, delivered with the appropriate amount of Gen-X side-eye.Show notes at https://gog.show/727Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/hHnGD4lIFzASponsors:MasterClass - Get up to 50% off at MASTERCLASS.com/GRUMPYOLDGEEKSPrivate Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.
