Everyone in crypto has a horror story. In this episode, Joel and Travis turn the mic on themselves and the community for a raw, honest look at loss, regret, and the painful side of the crypto journey. Travis recounts how he lost 55 Bitcoin he mined back in 2010 after a hardware failure and no backup of his keys. Joel shares how he was seconds away from reading a 2FA code to a fake “Google security” caller that could have compromised everything tied to his account. Add in a 10 ETH honeypot scam, drained wallets, and NFT phishing, and you start to see a pattern: nobody is immune. Along the way, they read anonymous posts from the CoinFessions account on X – real stories of people who:– Turned life-changing gains into dust by trying to time “one more pump”– Lost six figures to scams and bad decisions– Sat through entire bull runs and never took profits– Finally got it right after years of pain and one big, smart exit This episode covers:– Why even experienced users still get wrecked– The psychology behind never taking profits on the way up– How grief, stress, and desperation make you vulnerable to scams– Why experiences and relationships matter more than your portfolio balance– A brief look ahead at what macro conditions and liquidity might mean for the next phase of the market If you have ever:– Round-tripped your portfolio– Lost coins to a scam, bad link, or bad judgment– Felt alone or ashamed about your mistakes …this is group therapy. You are not the only one. The Bad Crypto Podcast has been here since 2017, and the guys are still in the arena with you. Pull up a chair, listen in, and maybe walk away feeling a little less wrecked and a little more human.Support the show: https://badcryptopodcast.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this special double-feature episode of Bits + Bips, Unchained executive editor Steve Ehrlich brings listeners two of the clearest investor perspectives on where the crypto markets may be headed next. First, Owen Lau, Managing Director at Clear Street, breaks down why crypto equities remain so tightly correlated to Bitcoin—and what might finally cause that link to break. He unpacks the growing role of stablecoin revenue, Coinbase and Circle's evolving business models, and why a market structure bill in 2026 could reshape the sector. Then, in the second half, Bob Diamond and David Schamis of Hyperliquid Strategies explain why they believe Hyperliquid and its HYPE token represent one of the most compelling opportunities in digital assets. They walk through the rationale for their DAT, Hyperliquid's performance during extreme market volatility, and the broader ecosystem being built through HIP-3 and beyond.

Bitcoin hit a rare signal this week, dropping to its cheapest level relative to gold in nearly 15 years. Is that a buy signal or something deeper in the macro picture? Ryan and David break down what the BTC–gold anomaly really means, how liquidity, rates, and Trump's surprise Fed Chair pick factor in, and whether the market is entering a shallow cycle instead of a true winter. We also cover Ethereum's Fusaka upgrade, Vitalik's push to bring builders back to L1, Polymarket's mainstream breakout and CNN–Kalshi deal, and Aztec's 16K ETH privacy auction. Plus, the SEC's coming innovation exemption and the growing alliance between Larry Fink and Brian Armstrong. ------

Das exklusive Experiment von «Einstein» zeigt, was die Nutzung von Künstlicher Intelligenz wie ChatGPT mit dem Gehirn macht. Welchen Einfluss hat KI auf die Hormone und wie wollen Schulen, Lehrpersonen sowie Entwicklerinnen und Entwickler von KI unsere Denkfähigkeit bewahren? Das Experiment Verblöden wir, wenn wir täglich künstliche Intelligenz nutzen? Das exklusive Experiment von «Einstein» zeigt, was die Nutzung von KI wie ChatGPT mit unserem Gehirn macht, welchen Einfluss KI auf unsere Hormone hat und wie wir in Zukunft lernen müssen. Und: «Einstein» zeigt, wie Schulen, Lehrpersonen sowie Entwicklerinnen und Entwickler von künstlicher Intelligenz unsere Denkfähigkeit bewahren wollen. Die Entwicklerin Lisa Richenberger, 18, hat eine eigene künstliche Intelligenz, KI, entwickelt. Die KI kann ihr sagen, ob ihr Zimmer aufgeräumt ist oder eben nicht. Hinter der banalen Frage stehen etliche Entscheidungen und Daten. Sie ist Teil der AI Challenge der ETH Zürich, der Eidgenössischen Technischen Hochschule. Wichtig sei, dass die Jung-Forschenden ausprobieren und einen Prozess durchlaufen, sagt Fiona Könz, die die Challenge von der ETH begleitet. «Einstein» zeigt, ob Lisa die Challenge gewinnt oder nicht. Die Forscher Sind sprachbasierte KI-Modelle bereits so gut wie unser Gehirn? Gonçalo Guiomar forscht am AI Center der Eidgenössischen Technischen Hochschule ETH in Zürich. Seine Daten zeigen nun, dass KI beinahe so erfolgreich ist wie unser menschliches Gehirn, wenn es um das Erinnern und Lernen geht. Nutzen wir KI nicht als Werkzeug, sondern als Denkersatz, können wir vieles verlernen. Es brauche ein gutes Lern-Umfeld, sagt Gonçalo Guiomar, damit unsere Denkstrukturen nicht verkümmern. Die Praktikerin An der Pädagogischen Hochschule in Zürich PHZ ist KI ebenfalls ein zentrales Thema. Wie vermitteln wir KI? Welche KI dürfen Schülerinnen und Schüler nutzen? Ab welchem Alter ist es sinnvoll, KI in der Schule einzusetzen? Diese und mehr Fragen treiben Lehrerinnen und Lehrer um, wenn es um KI an Schulen geht. Studien der PH Zürich zeigen, dass vor allem Kompetenzen wie kritisches Denken und Kreativität im Zusammenhang mit KI neu gedacht werden müssen. Das Resultat Angelehnt an eine Studie des Massachusetts Institute of Technology MIT zeigt «Einstein» mit einem Schreib-Experiment, welchen Effekt KI auf unser Gehirn hat. Das Experiment zeigt: Je tiefer und vielfältiger unser Gehirn sich mit einem Thema auseinandersetzt, desto zufriedener sind wir mit unserer Leistung. Und: Nutzen wir KI, können Zitate aus einem geschriebenen Essay nicht reproduziert werden. Unsere Denkleistung wird circa 15-mal weniger aktiviert, wie wenn wir einen Aufsatz analog schreiben.

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

Welcome to The Chopping Block — where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This episode is a special one: Haseeb reads his new essay, In Defense of Exponentials, a manifesto pushing back against the rising financial cynicism dominating CT. He breaks down why new chains launch into unprecedented hate, why revenue-based valuation models misunderstand the nature of exponential technologies, and why believing in ETH, SOL, and open financial systems still makes sense. It's a zoom-out moment for the space — a reminder that crypto's exponential arc is far from over. Show highlights

Texas buys $5M worth of BlackRock's bitcoin ETF. Texas took a step toward building a state-based crypto reserve with its recent purchase of $5 million of BlackRock's bitcoin ETF. Other states have previously put state pension funds into such ETFs on behalf of retirees, but advocates are still awaiting a state to start its own stockpile.
