This week we talk about kidnappings, ransoms, and bitcoin.We also discuss crypto wealth, robberies, and memecoins.Recommended Book: The Status Game by Will StorrTranscriptIn 2008, a white paper published by someone writing under the pen name Satoshi Nakamoto proposed a method for making a decentralized asset class called a cryptocurrency that led to the creation of bitcoin, which was implemented and began trading in 2009.While there were other variations on this theme, and attempts to create something like a cryptocurrency previously, bitcoin is generally considered to be the first modern incarnation of this asset class, and its approach—using a peer-to-peer network to keep track of who owns what tokens on a publicly distributed ledger called a blockchain—led to the development of many copycats, and many next-generation cryptoassets based on similar principles, or principles that have been iterated in all sorts of directions, based on the preferences and beliefs of those assets' founders.In its early days, bitcoin didn't make much of a splash and was considered to be kind of an anomaly, mostly interesting to a very small number of people who speculated about alternative currencies and how they might be developed and implemented in the real world, but as of mid-May 2025, the global market cap for all cryptocurrencies is $3.39 trillion, bitcoin accounting for more than $2 trillion of that total.That said, there are tens of thousands of cryptocurrencies available, these days, though the majority of them have been formally discontinued or simply allowed to go fallow, becoming functionally inactive.That's partly the consequence of a surge in interest during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the price of bitcoin popping from just over $5,000 at the start of the pandemic to around $68,000 in late-2021.Bitcoin and most of the other crypto-assets that sprung up during that tumultuous period then collapsed when the US Federal Reserve hiked interest rates, intending to temper inflation, which had the knock-on effect of reining in risky bets on things like seed-level startups and alternative assets classes, like crypto—bitcoin dropped to less than $17,000 in 2023, partly as a result of that move—but as inflation levels cooled and investors started to look for assets that might pay out big time again, there was another wave of crypto-asset launches, especially of the ‘meme coin' variety, which basically means a crypto token that's launched either as a joke, or to try to make some money off something that's trending—the most famous meme coin is probably Dogecoin, which was originally released in 2013 as a joke, but then boomed in popularity and price during the pandemic.Through it all, and well before most people knew what bitcoin or cryptocurrencies were, Coinbase has served as a central pillar of the crypto-asset ecosystem.The company was founded in 2012 by a former Airbnb engineer as a crypto exchange: a place where you can swap crypto assets for other crypto assets, but importantly, where you can also sell those assets for real world money, or buy them for real world money.And that's what I want to talk about today, and more specifically a recent hack of Coinbase, and the potential implications of that hack.—In mid-May of 2025, Coinbase reported, in a legally required Securities and Exchange Commission filing, that their company was hacked, and that the hack may end up costing Coinbase between $180 and $400 million, all told.According to that filing, Coinbase received an email from the hacker on May 11, saying that they'd obtained a bunch of information about Coinbase customers and their accounts, alongside other Coinbase documentation related to their account management systems and customer service practices. The hacker demanded $20 million from the company, which the company refused to pay.Coinbase officials have been keen to note that passwords and private keys were not compromised in the hack, so the hackers couldn't just log into someone's account and empty their crypto wallets or the real-deal money they might be keeping there, but they did access names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses, alongside the last four digits of some users' social security numbers, their government ID images, like drivers licenses and passports, and their account balances.All of which isn't as bad as passwords and private keys being stolen, but it's not good, either. The hackers, or people working with them, have reportedly been launching phishing attacks against some of the higher net-worth individuals whose information was stolen, those attacks—which usually involve tricking victims into divulging other information, like passwords—made a million times easier because the folks doing the attacks had that stolen information.What's more, and this isn't necessarily obvious from reading the pieces published about this hack, but it's important context surrounding all of this, people who have a lot of money in crypto-assets are increasingly likely to be targeted for other sorts of crimes, compared to people with a lot of wealth in conventional assets, like money, homes, and stocks.Case in point, in early May of this year, a trio of Florida teens kidnapped a man at gunpoint in Las Vegas, drove him to a remote desert area about an hour away, and then stole about $4 million in crypto and other digital assets, like NFTs.They apparently waited for him at his apartment complex and when he pulled up, they threatened him, and said they had his dad, and would kill him if he didn't get in their car, and then they got his account passwords and other information from him, once he was away from any possible help.In Canada, back in early November of 2024, the CEO of a crypto company based in Toronto was kidnapped during rushhour, forced into the kidnappers' vehicle and forced to pay a million dollars in ransom before he was released.According to a security firm that specializes in protecting wealthy people with crypto-assets, that CEO's kidnapping was the 171st instance of criminals using physical violence, including kidnapping, but also other types of robbery, to steal crypto assets; they also said there tend to be more such cases when the price of these assets is high.Well, the price of a bitcoin is high right now, more than $103,000 per coin, as of the day I'm recording this, and France and other Western European nations are seeing a spate of kidnappings of high net-worth crypto-holders, some of which have resulted in mutilation, as was the case with a 60-year-old man who was kidnapped in broad daylight, at 10:30am in Paris—four men in ski-masks pushed him into the back of a delivery van, and his kidnappers demanded his crypto-millionaire son pay a ransom; they cut off the older man's finger during the ordeal.The kidnappers demanded something like 5-7 million euros, which wasn't paid, and they were eventually captured by police. But law enforcement is seeing a lot of this sort of thing all over the world right now, people who made fortunes in crypto being kidnapped, and in some cases their friends and family, or partners, also being kidnapped, or kidnapped instead. Whatever the specifics, the person with the crypto-wealth is then hit up for a ransom.Often, the people being targeted are known to be wealthy because their wealth, their gains in this particular asset market, is publicized.The big concern amongst many people in the crypto-world right now, then, is that although the Coinbase hack didn't result in lost passwords or keys, the information that was stolen, including the balance of users' accounts, could make these users targets, giving anyone with access to this stolen data a list of people they might steal from, and information about where to find them, how to contact them, and how much they can probably hit them up for.On top of that, they can see who has had large balances in the past, how much cash they sold their holdings for, and who maybe previously had large holdings on Coinbase, but then transferred those assets to a private wallet—so even if they don't have large Coinbase balances, they possibly have large balances hidden on a harddrive somewhere.Crypto wealth is generally considered to be easier to steal, and to get away with said theft, because of its very nature; it's largely disconnected from traditional banking systems and many traditional banking regulations, and it's often simpler to launder crypto assets than real money, converting bitcoin into stable coins into other coins before then converting those assets into real money, for instance.So while Coinbase seems to be doing what they can to make their users whole, including paying back users whose information was lost in the breach, that information then used to phish them, successfully—so if you were conned out of money because the hackers got this information and then tricked you—Coinbase will pay you back what you lost.But it's not really possible to undo other, non-immediate damage, like the new level of threat some of these hacking victims maybe face, as the global economy gets weird, job security is iffy for many people in many industries, at best, and there's this list of people who seem to have plenty of money, that money held in more-stealable-than-usual assets, alongside what amounts to a map to where they can be found, and all sorts of information that paints an incomplete, but potentially leveragable, portrait of their lives.Show Noteshttps://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/0001679788/000167978825000094/coin-20250514.htmhttps://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/15/coinbase-says-hackers-bribed-staff-to-steal-customer-data-and-are-demanding-20-million-ransom.htmlhttps://techcrunch.com/2025/05/15/coinbase-says-customers-personal-information-stolen-in-data-breach/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/magazine/crybercrime-crypto-minecraft.html?unlocked_article_code=1.Hk8.UV7K.VEEqHFsUu24g&smid=url-sharehttps://www.yahoo.com/news/florida-teens-kidnap-las-vegas-200918594.htmlhttps://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/kidnapping-toronto-businessman-cryptocurrency-1.7376679https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/04/french-police-investigate-spate-of-cryptocurrency-millionaire-kidnappingshttps://www.advisor.ca/investments/market-insights/the-reasons-behind-bitcoins-surge/https://www.statista.com/statistics/863917/number-crypto-coins-tokens/https://www.forbes.com/digital-assets/crypto-prices/?sh=c86585d24785https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coinbasehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptocurrencyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoinhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0378437122005696https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meme_coin This is a public episode.

SummaryIn this episode of the ATX DAO Podcast, we sit down with founding member Clifton and DAO and community members, Vardo and Scott for a wide-ranging roundtable on crypto, macroeconomics, and the evolution of ATX DAO. Clifton shares his journey from building EdTech startups to working at Bridgewater and launching a market-neutral hedge fund—before diving deep into crypto and helping start ATX DAO. The group discusses what it takes to bootstrap a community from scratch, why Austin continues to attract Web3 builders, and how life, family, and finance all collide in the world of crypto.We also unpack major economic and policy trends: U.S. tariff strategies, the dollar's outlook, and what “reciprocal tariffs” really mean. Clifton offers sharp insights on why DeFi infrastructure still outperforms TradFi in key areas—despite regulatory headwinds—and how institutional players are approaching crypto adoption behind the scenes. Whether you're DAO-curious or deep into the macro weeds, this episode offers an unfiltered look at the people and policies shaping crypto's next chapter.Chapters00:00 Current Developments and Future Goals of ATX DAO06:21 Market Dynamics and Economic Discussions11:55 Political Insights and Economic Policies17:40 Future of Dogecoin and Scalability Discussions29:46 Exploring Dogecoin's Potential in DeFi and Gaming32:51 The Future of Gaming on Dogecoin34:33 Preparing for the Avalanche Summit37:56 Launching a Friends and Family Fund39:20 Market Sentiment and Crypto Strategies42:22 The Impact of Regulation on Crypto48:11 Use Cases for Permissioned Roll-Ups50:50 The Future of Tokenization and Asset Management55:17 The Shift in Government Stance on Crypto57:36 The Future of Crypto Mining in the U.S.01:01:47 Quantum Resistance and Bitcoin's FutureConnect with us on X (Twitter):Ash:  ⁠@ashinthewild⁠Clifton: @cliftonkLuke: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@Luke152⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Scott: @1ScottAugustineVardo: @varderes_cryptoCheck out our friends at 512 Tequila:Website:  ⁠https://www.tequila512.comSocials: X (Twitter) | Instagram | TikTok | FacebookTo learn more about ATX DAO:Check out the ⁠ATX DAO ⁠websiteFollow ⁠@ATXDAO⁠ on X (Twitter)Subscribe to our newsletterConnect with us on ⁠LinkedIn⁠Join the community in the ⁠ATX DAO Discord⁠Support the Podcast:If you enjoyed this episode, please leave us a review and share it with your network.Subscribe for more insights, interviews, and deep dives into the world of Web3.

Crypto News: Coinbase just became the first and only crypto company to join the S&P 500. YC Mayor Eric Adams says his goal is to make "New York City the crypto capital of the globe." SEC crypto roundtable tokenization today.Show Sponsor -

This explosive segment dives into predictions of Dogecoin becoming the biggest theft in history, uncovers massive federal credit card fraud, and reveals a declassified Biden-era plan to surveil and silence conservatives, gun owners, and religious Americans for noncriminal behavior. With billions saved from fraud and terrifying government overreach exposed, this is a must-hear breakdown of economic corruption and creeping authoritarianism.

Memecoins zijn een fenomeen binnen de cryptowereld dat zowel fascinatie als afkeer oproept. In deze aflevering van de Cryptocast duiken we diep in de wereld van deze bijzondere digitale munten. Gast Ries Schoot Uiterkamp, Quantitative Portfolio Manager bij Amdax, deelt zijn expertise over dit onderwerp, samen met co-host Bert Slagter van kennisplatform Bitcoin Alpha. Dogecoin was de eerste memecoin, ontstaan in december 2013. Wat begon als een grap, groeide in januari 2021 explosief van $0.008 naar een hoogtepunt van $0.74 in mei van dat jaar. Deze extreme stijging opende de deur voor talloze navolgers. Een belangrijke rol in de populariteit van DOGE werd gespeeld door Tesla-CEO Elon Musk, wiens tweets vaak direct invloed hadden op de koers. De wereld van memecoins is een stuk anders dan die van Bitcoin. Waar Bitcoin bekend staat om zijn decentrale karakter en gedegen verdeling, hebben memecoins vaak een meer gecentraliseerde structuur. Dit roept vragen op over de waarde en het bestaansrecht van deze munten. Critici zien ze als nutteloos, terwijl voorstanders wijzen op de gemeenschapsvorming rondom deze projecten. Murad Mahmudov bracht tijdens zijn spraakmakende presentatie op Token2049 in Singapore een alternatieve visie. Hij betoogt dat memecoins inspelen op fundamentele maatschappelijke behoeften, zoals het verlangen naar zingeving, gemeenschapsgevoel en het doorbreken van socio-economische normen. Volgens hem bieden memecoins plezier, identiteit en een gevoel van collectieve verhaalvorming. Hij gaat zelfs zo ver om te stellen dat altcoins eigenlijk "memecoins with extra steps" zijn, omdat de technologie en software achter altcoins weinig tot geen succesverhalen kent. Recente toevoegingen aan het memecoin-universum zoals $Trump, $Melania en $HAWK laten zien dat de creatie van nieuwe tokens niet afneemt. De korte levensduur van veel van deze munten (HAWK is bijvoorbeeld praktisch naar nul gegaan) toont echter de volatiliteit en risico's van deze markt. Voor beleggers die toch een gokje willen wagen, is het belangrijk om te letten op de verdeling van tokens en de betrouwbaarheid van whitepapers – hoewel zelfs dat geen garanties biedt. Een cruciale vraag die wordt gesteld: vervuilen memecoins het narratief van Bitcoin? En gaan we naar een toekomst met een dominante positie voor Bitcoin, of krijgen memecoins een blijvende belangrijke rol? De antwoorden op deze vragen zullen de komende jaren duidelijk worden, terwijl de cryptowereld zich verder ontwikkelt en volwassen wordt.

In this insightful clip, Rashad Bilal, Troy Millings, and Ian Dunlap break down Tesla's recent, shocking earnings report—a staggering 71% drop in net income for Q1 2025. Despite falling vehicle deliveries, dipping automotive revenue, and mounting struggles in China, the U.S., and Europe, Tesla's stock price went up. How does that make sense?The hosts dig deep into the surprising market reaction, discussing the key reason for the stock surge: Elon Musk's claim that he'll be stepping back from his distractions (like Dogecoin and Starlink) and refocusing on Tesla. But is that enough to restore investor faith? The trio questions whether Musk's “I'll do better” pledge can truly turn things around—especially when Tesla's facing tough competition, technical stagnation, and missed milestones with vehicles like the Model Y and Cybertruck.Tune in for a candid conversation about CEO privilege, market psychology, and the future of Tesla as both a car company and a tech company. Is Tesla about to regain its edge, or are we witnessing the beginning of the end of its dominance? Drop your thoughts in the comments—do you think Tesla's bounce-back is sustainable, or is this just a temporary show of confidence in Elon? *Hashtags:* #Tesla #ElonMusk #Stocks #Investing #Earnings #EV #TeslaStock #RashadBilal #TroyMillings #IanDunlap #Finance #MarketAnalysis #TechNewsOur Sponsors:* Check out NerdWallet: https://www.nerdwallet.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/marketmondays/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

SummaryIn this laid-back roundtable episode, we crack open a few beers with ATX DAO members Walshy, Bob, Ash, and Luke to talk about what it's really like to build in Web3—without the chain tribalism. From Avalanche to Dogecoin to Quai to Polygon, the conversation dives into the messy, creative, and often hilarious reality of being a multichain builder. Whether it's launching a privacy-focused autograph app, navigating app store politics, or figuring out how to explain blockchain to artists, the crew shares what they've learned the hard way—and what still keeps them excited about crypto.Along the way, we cover how ATX DAO has become a soft landing pad for new arrivals in Austin, what it means to create in an open, collaborative community, and why being chain-agnostic is more than just a technical choice—it's a mindset. This one's for anyone who's ever shipped weird code, joined a DAO for the vibes, or just wanted to talk real about the state of Web3.Chapters00:00 Guest Introductions02:56 Personal Journeys into Blockchain and Crypto06:19 The Role of Community in Crypto09:09 Challenges and Opportunities for Artists in Crypto12:23 Teaching Artists about NFTs in the Artists Residency15:16 Navigating the NFT Landscape18:05 The Importance of Reputation in the Music Industry20:58 The Future of Music NFTs23:00 Kevin Kelley 1000 True Fans24:12 Privacy and Blockchain Technology41:03 The Future of NFTs and Gaming43:50 Personal Journeys into Crypto48:50 Building in the Crypto Space56:20 Navigating UX Challenges in Web301:03:11 The Role of Stablecoins and Institutional Adoption01:12:26 Innovations in Stablecoin Alternatives01:18:29 Community and Collaboration in CryptoConnect with the team:Ash: X - ⁠@ashinthewild⁠ | DoggyFi - https://doggyfi.xyz/Bob: X - @bobwith2bees | Graflr - https://www.graflr.comChristopher: X - @ChristopherNFGG | Quai Network - https://qu.aiLuke: X - ****⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@Luke152⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | Avalanche Team1 - @AvaxTeam1To learn more about ATX DAO:Check out the ⁠ATX DAO ⁠websiteFollow ⁠@ATXDAO⁠ on X (Twitter)Subscribe to our newsletterConnect with us on ⁠LinkedIn⁠Join the community in the ⁠ATX DAO DiscordSupport the Podcast:If you enjoyed this episode, please leave us a review and share it with your network.Subscribe for more insights, interviews, and deep dives into the world of Web 3.

De cryptomarkt kende deze week een opvallende opleving. De koers van Bitcoin steeg naar 94.200 dollar, zo’n veertien procent hoger dan een week eerder. Het blijft lastig te verklaren waar die stijging precies vandaan komt, maar het lijkt erop dat beleggers opnieuw het vertrouwen vinden in Bitcoin als digitaal goud. Tegelijkertijd doen ook andere risicovolle beleggingen het goed. Tweede Paasdag viel extra op: terwijl de Amerikaanse aandelenmarkten onder druk stonden, maakte Bitcoin juist een sprong van vier procent. Ook altcoins lieten zich van hun beste kant zien, met Solana en Dogecoin als belangrijkste uitschieters, wat duidt op een flinke toename van de risicobereidheid onder beleggers. De Trump Coin trok deze week ook veel aandacht. De prijs van de token steeg woensdag met bijna zeventig procent, nadat bekend werd dat de 220 grootste bezitters van de munt zijn uitgenodigd voor een diner met voormalig president Trump. Dit slimme marketingoffensief viel samen met de uitgifte van driehonderd miljoen dollar aan nieuwe munten op 18 april. De familie Trump en het team achter de token kunnen door deze strategie op termijn miljarden dollars incasseren, zij het geleidelijk. Inmiddels schommelt de prijs van de Trump Coin rond de twaalf dollar, fors lager dan het hoogtepunt van 73 dollar in januari. De markt kijkt uit naar de beelden van het exclusieve diner in Washington, waar cryptomiljonairs samenkomen met de voormalige president. Opvallend nieuws kwam er ook van vier grote financiële partijen: Tether, Softbank, Bitfinex en Cantor Fitzgerald werken samen aan een investeringsvehikel voor Bitcoin met een waarde van drie miljard dollar. Het nieuwe bedrijf, dat de naam 21 Capital moet krijgen, wordt naar verwachting beursgenoteerd en vormt daarmee een serieuze concurrent voor Microstrategy, het bedrijf van Michael Saylor. Microstrategy staat bekend om zijn strategie om via leningen en aandelenuitgiftes zoveel mogelijk bitcoin op de balans te zetten, met inmiddels meer dan vijftig miljard dollar aan bitcoin in bezit. Of 21 Capital dezelfde koers gaat varen, valt nog te bezien, maar Cantor Fitzgerald is van plan om via de markt 550 miljoen dollar op te halen voor bitcoin-aankopen, terwijl Tether, Softbank en Bitfinex gezamenlijk bijna drie miljard dollar investeren. De betrokkenheid van de zoon van minister van Economische Zaken Howard Lutnick bij Cantor Fitzgerald roept vragen op over de gunstige omstandigheden waaronder het bedrijf opereert. In het verlengde daarvan is de benoeming van Paul Atkins als nieuwe voorzitter van de Amerikaanse beurswaakhond SEC van groot belang. Zijn installatie markeert een breuk met het beleid van voorganger Gary Gensler, die bekendstond als streng voor de cryptosector. Atkins, door voormalig president Trump voorgedragen, benadrukte bij zijn aantreden het belang van duidelijke regelgeving voor de cryptowereld. In de aanloop naar zijn benoeming trok de SEC al diverse rechtszaken tegen cryptobedrijven in. Verwacht wordt dat het klimaat voor grote cryptobedrijven in de Verenigde Staten onder Atkins verder zal verbeteren. Deze week in de CryptocastEen gesprek met Dennis Post, belasting- en blockchainexpert bij EY. We hebben het over een nieuwe Europese richtlijn, DAC8. Die verplicht crypto-dienstverleners om gegevens over al jouw transacties te delen met de belastingdienst. Het doel is dan: belastingontduiking aanpakken, maar de echte boeven vang je er niet mee en de vraag is ook wat de belastingdienst moet met die miljoenen transacties, die dan over de schutting gekieperd worden. Co-host is Mauro Halve. Met Daniël Mol bespreken we elke week de stand van de cryptomarkt.

In contrast with yesterday's guest, the Paris based Financial Times writer Simon Kuper, the newspaper's London based columnist Jemima Kelly hasn't quite given up on the United States of America. Trump, she suggests, might be the end of the line for the MAGA movement. Indeed, like another recent guest on the show, former Wired editor Peter Leyden, Kelly suggests that the Republicans might be flirting with the destruction of their brand for the next political generation. Unlike Leyden, however, Kelly isn't particularly bullish on the future of the Democratic Party, arguing that there is a desperate need for a formal national opposition to Trump's MAGA Republicanism. And in contrast with Leyden, Kelly doesn't see much of an opposition - moral or otherwise - from seemingly spineless tech billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg or Marc Andreessen. 5 Key Takeaways* Kelly is most concerned about Trump's "utter disregard for the legal system and the kind of lawlessness" that characterizes his second administration.* She believes Democrats lack cohesive opposition structure, noting America could benefit from a shadow cabinet system like the UK's to provide clear alternative voices.* Kelly predicts "MAGA is going to finish with Trump" as there's no viable successor who can match his charisma and stage presence.* She criticizes tech leaders like Mark Zuckerberg for capitulating to Trump, questioning how they justify abandoning values for business interests.* Kelly argues that maintaining moral principles is crucial for Democrats, as sinking to Trump's level only erodes institutional trust, which has already been significantly damaged. Full Transcript Andrew Keen: Hello, everybody. It is Wednesday, April the 23rd, 2025. Headlines today remain dominated by Donald Trump. Every story above the fold, at least above the digital fold in the Financial Times, seems to be about him. Yesterday, we talked to FT columnist Simon Cooper, a Dutchman living in Paris, who had an interesting piece earlier this week suggesting Americans should move to Europe, indicating the American dream was over. Cooper seemed to relish this news. Today, we're talking to another FT columnist, Jemima Kelly. She's based in northeast London, in Hackney, and she's talking to us today from the FT offices in the heart of London City. Jemima, what's your take on Simon's column this week? Is it indeed time for most Americans to move to Europe?Jemima Kelly: I thought it was a very interesting column. I'm particularly interested in this idea that you discussed on your show about the brain drain that has been going in the direction of America and that might start to come back in the other direction, which I hadn't really properly considered before in those terms. But I must say that I'm not really a fan of encouraging people to all be digital nomads. He's actually followed it up with a piece today about how to be a digital nomad in Paris. I'm not really a fan of that kind of lifestyle because I think that it means people aren't particularly invested in their local communities, and I think it makes a bit of a crappy neighborhood if everyone is just working their own jobs. The dream of earning a US salary while working remotely living in Europe—I'm just like, please don't do that because then we're just importing inequality.Andrew Keen: Although to be fair, was Simon actually saying that?Jemima Kelly: I think he did say that the ultimate life, the ultimate arbitrage was doing that. And it's true, it is the ultimate arbitrage. It's just not one that I would particularly want people to pursue. It's like the Airbnb culture—it's destroyed a lot of cities and priced out local people, meaning certain cities you visit have no locals, just tourists, which is quite crap as a tourist.Andrew Keen: I guess the other critique of Simon's piece, which is an extension of yours, is for Americans who don't like Trump—and there are many, including myself—it's not time to move to Europe. It's not time to retreat. It is time to stay and fight and try to change America. So there's no reason why you have to shift. Jemima, you're a columnist at what you call on your X account "Friends of the Deep State" (FT). I'm using you as the voice of the European deep state. What's the take from London on Trump on April 23, 2025? It's so hard to make any sense of it. In a meta sense, in a structural sense, what's your take on what's happening?Jemima Kelly: I'm going to answer that in three parts. First, the "Friends of the Deep State" is obviously a reference to Liz Truss, who referred to the FT as the deep state.Andrew Keen: I want to come on to Truss later, another rather clownish character, your version of Donald Trump.Jemima Kelly: Yes, Britain's proudest export. Second, I would probably not want to speak for Europe or Britain. Maybe I can start by saying what I think the mood is.Andrew Keen: You live in Hackney in northeast London, so maybe you can speak on behalf of Hackney. What's the take on Trump from Hackney?Jemima Kelly: Just utter dismay. And I mean, I would say that's probably the mood I'm getting, even from people who thought there was too much hyperbole used about Trump in the run-up to his election. I didn't think comparisons to Hitler were particularly helpful.Andrew Keen: You're not alone. We've had that conversation many times on the show. I strongly agree with you.Jemima Kelly: So while there were people who were very hysterical about the idea of a Trump 2.0 being worse than the first time, I think so far, it does seem kind of worse, doesn't it?Andrew Keen: I'm asking you.Jemima Kelly: I would say there is a sense that things are quite scary at the moment. I think what I personally find most worrying, and that many balanced people are talking about, is the utter disregard for the courts and the rule of law. I was amazed looking at Truth Social earlier. I saw a post from Trump about an alleged MS-13 gang member.Andrew Keen: The Venezuelan who was illegally extradited or seized and taken to El Salvador.Jemima Kelly: I think this guy is actually Salvadoran. Trump has posted a picture of an alleged knuckle tattoo with four symbols which some people have extrapolated to mean MS-13. It's very obviously just computer-generated text superimposed on the image. Trump has posted it and appears to believe this is actually tattooed onto the man's knuckles, using that as justification. I think the utter disregard for the legal system and the lawlessness of Trump 2.0 is for me the most disturbing aspect because where does that end? It's just utter chaos.I might write this week about how Trump sees the world as just deal-making and transactions. The ends will always justify the means. He's openly saying he's going to keep pushing as hard as he can to get what he wants. But his followers, who are constantly rushing to justify everything he does, including his vice president, are glorifying the means themselves, which Trump himself doesn't even really believe in. People are willing to take what he says at face value and make it happen, like Vance going to Greenland on this supposed visit.Andrew Keen: You said in an excellent column earlier this month that Vance has "the zeal of the convert" and that's the problem.Jemima Kelly: Yes, because he once called Trump "America's Hitler."Andrew Keen: And he didn't mean it in a complimentary way.Jemima Kelly: I don't think he did.Andrew Keen: So, Jemima, stand back a little. Simon noted that he'd always believed in America growing up. A lot of his friends went to America. You're a slightly younger generation from Simon. When you graduated from university, did a lot of your friends go to America? Did you ever think maybe you should go to America as a singer or a journalist?Jemima Kelly: Did any of my friends? It's quite difficult as a British person going to America. Quite a few of my friends have ended up there, particularly in LA for some reason. I almost moved to New York with my previous employer, Reuters, and have considered it, but wanted to stay in London. I love America; it's a completely amazing and fascinating place. But it does feel like people I speak to at the moment are feeling concerned. Someone in New Orleans told me that when conservative columnists in the New York Times are writing that it's time for some kind of uprising...Andrew Keen: That was David Brooks. And Simon wrote about a friend of his in Georgia who said he couldn't even go out because he was scared to bump into Trump people.Jemima Kelly: I saw that. That's not how I personally believe that divisions should be handled. The idea that you shouldn't go out because you might bump into some Trump fans—I don't know about that.Andrew Keen: I couldn't agree more. Your last column, in the spirit of Easter, was titled "It's the hope that saves you." It was a broader column, not just about America. But do you still have a vestige, a glimmer of hope in America? Have you given up?Jemima Kelly: Oh, God, yes, I still have hope. I am an optimist. But I also believe that being optimistic and hopeful, which as I explain in the column are slightly different things, gives you a higher chance of things going well. If you don't resort to cynicism and nihilism, which I don't think is particularly helpful.Another column I would like to write in the coming weeks is that I am becoming convinced that MAGA is going to finish with Trump. There is no MAGA after Trump. One thing that convinced me of this was listening to the "Triggered" podcast with Donald Trump Jr. I tried to listen to a range of podcasts, some more painful than others, and I listened to a full episode the other day and couldn't believe the level of imbecility.Andrew Keen: Well, we know what you mean anyway, even if that isn't the word.Jemima Kelly: And he's the best friend of the vice president, who's supposedly this genius.Andrew Keen: I'm sure in a year or two JD will have moved on to other "best friends."Jemima Kelly: Maybe, but I think they've been friends for a while. The thing with Trump is that he masks so much with his charisma and stage presence and what he calls "flexibility," not U-turning. And his people skills. Then you get the distilled version of him without all of that, and it's just so painfully bad and unpersuasive. There's no successor. Vance is the only one who the bookies currently have as the favorite, but that's because there's no leader on the other side; we don't know who the Democratic leader is.Andrew Keen: Peter Leyden, who was on the show a few days ago, the former editor-in-chief of Wired, believes that Trump is essentially destroying the Republican brand for a generation. It does provide an opportunity for the Democrats in the long term, although the Democrats probably have many problems of their own. Do you agree that ultimately the Republican brand has been decimated and is headed for 20 or 30 years of political isolation?Jemima Kelly: I think what they have going for them is that MAGA has its own name—there was always the MAGA part of the Republican Party and then the "other part" and the RINOs. Now they have somewhat merged, but I imagine that will start to separate if the Trump project keeps doing as badly as it seems to be. But it doesn't feel like there's any separation now between Trump and the institutions that are supposedly independent, with the Fed being an exception despite his saying he'd terminate Powell and then claiming the press made a big deal of it. It does feel like it will be difficult for Republicans to extricate themselves from Trump. There isn't anyone standing up and being vocally anti-Trump on that side at the moment.Andrew Keen: You noted that your satirical X profile "Friends of the Deep State" was borrowed from Liz Truss, who made a fool of herself and now is in political exile. Can we learn anything from the Truss fiasco? It seems to me as if Trump a couple of weeks ago on the bond front was, so to speak, "Trussed"—the market spoke and he had to retreat. Can we learn anything from recent British political or economic history to make sense of what's happening in the US, particularly in terms of Truss, who was humiliated by the markets?Jemima Kelly: Trump has the advantage of shamelessness, doesn't he?Andrew Keen: So you're saying that Liz Truss is not shameless?Jemima Kelly: That's a very good point. You could see the embarrassment on her face. Maybe that is just my projection of how I would feel.Andrew Keen: For people just listening, it's a picture of Liz Truss in New York with a MAGA hat on looking like a complete idiot.Jemima Kelly: Just before the inauguration saying, "It can't come soon enough."Andrew Keen: And she says "the West needs it," whatever that means.Jemima Kelly: She's constantly "saving the West." She was at a Bitcoin conference last weekend giving a speech on saving the West. It's really exciting that we have such capable hands to save the West.Andrew Keen: Especially at the Bitcoin conference.Jemima Kelly: Exactly. They're the real people to do it. What can we learn from Truss? What we can learn, and this takes us into the Democrats, is that a few people have floated the idea that America should have some form of shadow cabinet. One of the reasons that Truss lasted for only 42 days—less than the lettuce—was that we have such a vocal opposition in this country. It's very clear who the spokesperson is from the opposing party. So when a journalist is writing a story about Truss's mini budget, right away, you've got the shadow chancellor to tell you why it's a terrible idea. In America, it's not so clear, and I think that's a disadvantage.Andrew Keen: You wrote an excellent column in the last month on why America needs a "serious opposition."Jemima Kelly: It really opened my eyes, this idea of the shadow cabinet. Obviously, the government has a different structure in the US, and it's not a monarchy, etc. But the idea of some form—even if just in name only—if the Democrats were able to put forward a representative for each of the major government departments, it would help. It made me think that American media often sees itself as "the resistance"—the media is the resistance. I feel like our job is to report the news. Too often it feels like the media was trying to stop Trump from getting reelected or trying to hide that Biden was too old for another four years. The media is far too often doing the work that an opposition should be doing.It dawned on me that this is partly because of the lack of structure that we have with the constant back and forth. As a journalist, rather than having to explain why the Liz Truss mini-budget was bad, you've got someone on the other side to tell you. The Democrats are in disarray. Usually, there's nothing like a common enemy to unite you, and Trump should be that. Amid the tariffs, the trade war, the deportation of immigrants, threats to deport others to horrific Salvadoran prisons—if there were a time to be united, it would be now. This is peak Trump fear, and yet the Democrats have record low approval ratings among their supporters. A Gallup poll showed Republican approval of their congressmen is at 76 percent while Democrats are at 39 percent among Democrats. There is a real void of cohesive or coherent opposition.Andrew Keen: You've been quite critical of the Democrats. Back in July, you talked about the "Biden debacle" and the absurdity of a man clearly out of his depth. But you've also written more recently about Democrats not abandoning their morals. When historians look back, how much of a debacle was the Biden regime? Will it be seen as the trigger that enabled Trump 2.0, or would these things be seen separately?Jemima Kelly: I don't think it was Biden's administration; I think it was the cover-up of his physical decline.Andrew Keen: I wasn't surprised by that debate he had with Trump. He clearly was way beyond his shelf life. It was self-evident if you watched interviews with him.Jemima Kelly: It was already evident. I got into trouble for talking about this before the 2020 election because he had gotten the name of an interviewer wrong, and fact-checking organizations rushed in to say he hadn't. They were lying on his behalf, which shocked me.Andrew Keen: Does that make Trump's point on Truth Social that the media is really the Democratic party, or the two are inseparable?Jemima Kelly: It's funny because every time I've written about this, I've gotten pushback. I was the first "ritual sacrifice" on BlueSky a few months ago because I dared to say it was an echo chamber. Apparently, I implied that I wanted more Nazis on BlueSky, which is obviously sarcasm. One thing I find interesting—if you type "New York Times" into BlueSky, you'll get people complaining about how pro-Trump they are or how they're "both-sides-ists." If you type "New York Times" into X, you'll get people complaining about how anti-Trump they are and how it's just an extension of the Democratic Party.I think there's something like 3-4% of American journalists who vote Republican, so clearly, the media does lean left or Democrat. Trump is now letting really marginal right-wing news outlets into his briefings, which in some ways I don't think is all bad. I think it would be good to have a more balanced media.Andrew Keen: You wrote a good piece in December, "Democrats must not abandon their morals," which I guess goes without saying. There are still morals in the Republican party. Well, certainly ex-Republicans like David Brooks and Peter Wehner seem to be the most convincingly moral Americans. But that's another issue. What advice would you give the Democrats? On one hand, you've got a civil war within the party between its left—Bernie Sanders and AOC—versus centrists. They agree on almost nothing apart from being in the same big tent party. What advice would you give Democrats?Jemima Kelly: I don't feel in a position to give advice.Andrew Keen: What would you like to see then?Jemima Kelly: Just to be clear about the "Democrats shouldn't abandon their morals" column, that was written after Biden pardoned his son Hunter, which I found uncool. I hate that. I was arguing that if you're going to talk about how immoral the Trump project is and how full of lies it is—and it is all those things—then you have to show that you're better. I felt that was a failure during the first Trump term.I think outlets like the New York Times are doing better this time around. But there was an op-ed written after the first Trump victory about how objectivity needed to be abandoned, like there was a new game to play. I think that's really short-termist and will set a terrible precedent. Trump has come in again on the back of a massive loss of trust in institutions, which was already happening but was made worse by COVID—all the debates about origins, vaccines, etc. That chipped away at trust in science, government, and institutions in general.I write a lot about virtue and honor. I just wrote about hope. I don't think we think about values enough. Only the right in America seems to talk about religion. I'm not even a Christian myself—I was raised Catholic but don't consider myself that anymore—but I feel that values and morality aren't spoken about enough. The Democrats need to take the high ground. They were pulling up placards saying "Lie" at Trump's address to Congress, wearing colors to represent protest. AOC was doing videos saying "choose your fighter," trying to appeal to young people. It was all so cringe and inauthentic. When Trump is being seen as authentic, and Bernie Sanders, who does come across as authentic, there's such a vacuum of authenticity.Andrew Keen: You noted that one of the reasons why Trump is so successful is his eccentricity. That's one of his attractive qualities. A couple of quick questions before we go. You're at the FT, so you're supposed to understand the global economy. Back in September, you talked about America's crypto election. I have a nagging suspicion that crypto might be one of the things that ultimately blows up Trump. There is a lot of fraud within the administration on crypto, with some people making vast fortunes. Trump or his administration is in bed with the Bitcoin bros. What do you make of this association? Because Trump historically has always been ambivalent about crypto. Is this a sideshow or could it become the main show?Jemima Kelly: I don't think it could become the main show just because crypto is still not systemically important enough. If we compare it to the trade war, it pales in comparison in terms of numbers. The IMF downgrading forecasts by one percentage point for the US—that is far more likely to bring down Trump economically.Andrew Keen: Could we be seeing a restructuring of the global financial economy where crypto becomes an alternative to the Fed, given Trump's hostility towards the Fed?Jemima Kelly: God, no, not in my opinion. My ultimate point with crypto—and by the way, people who believe in Bitcoin (and I use the word "believe" deliberately because I do regard it as a belief system) think that Bitcoin is different from other crypto because it's the first one and will only have 21 million coins ever minted. But these are just strings of digits. Then someone comes along and says, "oh no, Bitcoin and Ethereum," and someone else adds Dogecoin as well.These aren't companies like the S&P 500 where there's a finite list. Each of these coins does absolutely nothing, and there's no limit to the number that can exist. I could speak about crypto for hours, but I always come back to the fact that there is no scarcity. Bitcoiners hate when I say this because they claim Bitcoin is different. There is no limit to the number of cryptocurrencies that can exist. If you look at CoinMarketCap.com, they used to count how many cryptocurrencies there were, but I think it got embarrassing because the counter disappeared. There are tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands at this point. How can there be value when there's no scarcity?Andrew Keen: I hope you're right on that front. Finally, you've been very critical of Silicon Valley and big tech. You wrote a piece recently on Mark Zuckerberg caving into Trump. Zuckerberg caved in, Bezos appears to have with the Washington Post, some law firms have, some haven't. Do you think this will come back to haunt opportunists like Zuckerberg? Is it in the interest, not just moral but economic, of American business leaders, university leaders, and heads of law firms to stand up to all this nonsense?Jemima Kelly: I think so, yes. We have so glorified wealth that people only seem to think value exists in financial terms. If I were Mark Zuckerberg, I would care about what people thought of me, but that's even superficial. I would care about being able to sleep well at night. I don't know how these people justify it.I heard a Mark Andreessen podcast a few months ago where he said, "The one thing people don't understand about billionaires is they don't care about money. They just want people to like them." I thought that was really interesting, but it doesn't seem to match their actions.Andrew Keen: Well, we probably should end. I'm not sure if you've written any columns on Musk, but he seems to represent all of this. He's clearly distancing himself from Trump, just as Trump is distancing himself from Musk. Are we beginning to see the end of this love affair between the Musks and the Andreessens with Trump?Jemima Kelly: It's interesting because Musk was supposedly the savior of electric cars, but the current-day Musk would be so skeptical of electric cars. It's weird that he was that guy and now has to keep being that guy to a certain extent because it's his brand. I think he's been radicalized by people not liking him, and he's being pushed further into this corner because he wants to feel part of a tribe. Now he feels like he fits in at Mar-a-Lago and hangs out with Trump.Do I think that's the end of their relationship? It's hard to know. I wouldn't be surprised if they did fall out quite soon. But they're both very strange people, aren't they?Andrew Keen: To put it mildly. You've got a big picture of the two of them in a Tesla on the cover of the Financial Times. I think they're both secretly fans of Millwall Football Club with their famous song "Nobody Loves Us, We Don't Care."Jemima Kelly: What?Andrew Keen: I'm joking, but maybe the same is true of Donald Trump and certainly Elon Musk.Jemima Kelly: They care so much. That's what's funny. Trump cares more than anyone about people loving him. I think that's what drives him. He really wants to be seen as a good president, which comforts me when things are going badly because I think he wants people to love him. He really wants the Nobel Peace Prize, which is hilarious, but he does want that.Andrew Keen: Well, one thing we've resolved today is that Donald Trump is not a fan of Millwall Football Club. He wants everybody to love him. He does care if they don't. Jemima, I know you don't really care because you're someone who will always say what you think. We'll have to get you back on the show for The View from London. Not an eccentric view, but an irreverent view. Thank you so much, Jemima Kelly, columnist of the FT. We will have you back on the show. Keep well.Jemima Kelly: Thank you, you too. This is a public episode.

In this thinkfuture episode, host Chris dives into a lively chat with Carter, co-founder of Spree, a platform making it easier to spend crypto in everyday life. Carter shares his journey from physics PhD to crypto enthusiast, sparked by Dogecoin, and his passion for decentralized finance. They break down the similarities between crypto and fiat—both digital, both built on belief—and debate Bitcoin's role as a store of value or spending tool. Carter explains Spree's mission to bridge crypto to real-world purchases, like booking travel or shopping, beyond just trading. Looking ahead, they predict stablecoins will dominate as a smarter financial system, possibly tackling issues like US debt or replacing savings accounts. Carter's skeptical about central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), betting on private-sector innovation instead, and dreams of a “Bitcoin supercycle” fueled by stablecoin growth. He wraps up with a shoutout to connect via Twitter (@Crazink) or Spree's site for anyone into decentralized commerce.---Connect with Carter:   / carterrazink  Spree Finance: https://www.spree.financebrought to you by polyscopemedia: https://polyscopemedia.com

I am Right episode 2 The Doge and other issuesIn a more recent development, the U.S. government announced the formation of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in January 2025. This initiative, led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, aims to streamline government operations and reduce wasteful spending. The department's acronym, DOGE, is a playful nod to the Doge meme and Dogecoin cryptocurrency. The Doge meme has left a lasting impact on internet culture, evolving from a simple image macro to influencing cryptocurrency and even inspiring governmental initiatives. #doge #dogememe #dogememes #cheems #cheemsmeme #dankmemes #memes #meme #memesdaily #funnydoge dogememe #memesdaily #dogecoin #bitcoin #cryptocurrency #cryptom #ethereum #btc #binance #blockchain #litecoin #investing #TrumpPlease follow us on Youtube,Facebook,Instagram,Twitter,Patreon and at www.gettinglumpedup.comhttps://linktr.ee/RobRossiGet your T-shirt at https://www.prowrestlingtees.com/gettinglumpedupAnd https://www.bonfire.com/store/getting-lumped-up/Subscribe to the channel and hit the like button This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rob-rossi/support https://www.patreon.com/Gettinglumpedup

What do Moo Deng the pygmy hippo, social media sensation Hawk Tuah, and the President of the United States all have in common? They've all inspired highly valuable, highly volatile memecoins. The humble memecoin began as a sort of satirical send up of speculation in the crypto world. But it was a joke that soon became very real. In the decade since the launch of Dogecoin in 2013, a series of cultural shifts and technological leaps enabled an explosion in the number of new memecoins. And this memecoin explosion has not only minted millionaires but also led to hordes of unlucky investors and untold scams. On today's show, what's in a memecoin? How they went from a one-off joke to a speculative frenzy worth tens of billions of dollars? And who are the winners and losers in this brazen new market? wow such tease many listensFind more Planet Money: Facebook / Instagram / TikTok / Our weekly Newsletter.Listen free at these links: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, the NPR app or anywhere you get podcasts.Help support Planet Money and hear our bonus episodes by subscribing to Planet Money+ in Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org/planetmoney.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Have you ever gone on the internet and stumbled onto this combo of words, or perhaps non-words?: “Dogecoin.” “Shiba Inu.” “Hawkcoin.” “Bored Ape NFT.” If that sounded like gibberish, don't worry—we'll explain. And also, time to start learning, because these terms come out of a new financial ecosystem—the world of crypto, a market that started 15 years ago and is now worth about $3.3 trillion. This new world has caught the attention of none other than President Donald Trump. Since coming to office, Trump has appointed a crypto czar and floated the idea of a national crypto stockpile. And shortly Trump took office, he launched his own meme coin—as did Melania. Trump's coin has reportedly generated $100 million in trading fees so far. And to top it all off, Trump is taking calls from the biggest names in the business. One of whom is our guest today—Brian Armstrong. Brian is a 42-year-old San Jose native who changed the nature of commerce not only in America but all over the world. He co-founded a cryptocurrency platform called Coinbase in 2012. Now, it's the largest crypto exchange in the US. To some, he's doing something as revolutionary as building rocket ships to Mars. To others, he's growing an industry riddled with scammers, grifters, and criminals. Armstrong says those stories are the sideshow and that Bitcoin—or perhaps another cryptocurrency—will prove itself to be as essential as the dollar. Today on Honestly, Bari asks Brian why he thinks crypto is the way of the future, how he navigates eager regulators, why he's been so politically active, how MAGA's "America First" ethos gets along with the borderless, decentralized crypto zeitgeist, and if crypto is really as dangerous as some make it out to be. We also talk about the DOGE, his recent meeting with Trump, and how he once stuck his neck out against the far-left mob.
