Vinny Lingham is a Bitcoin OG who pioneered gift card payments in 2012 with Gyft, served on the board of the Bitcoin Foundation, spearheaded blockchain identity verification with CIvic, and in more recent years moved on to managing risk with Praxos Capital. Thanks to some of his accurate price predictions, Vinny has also received the nickname "The Oracle". In this episode, we talk about his Bitcoin journey and how his views have evolved over the last 14 years.

Episode 321 begins with William and T.J. reacting to the ongoing soccer tournament, disputed officiating, ticket prices, broadcasting rights, and the scale of the business surrounding the sport. The conversation then returns to Digital Matter Theory and the origins of NAT. The hosts explain how Bitcoin block data, Ordinals, Bitmap, and recurring on-chain patterns inspired a framework for creating digital assets whose properties and supplies are derived from Bitcoin rather than selected arbitrarily. They revisit NAT's distribution, early minting process, growing holder base, and proposed role as a second subsidy for Bitcoin miners. The discussion examines the long-term decline of Bitcoin's block subsidy and why directing value toward miners could contribute to network security without changing Bitcoin's monetary policy. William and T.J. also explore how NAT.fun brings DMT concepts into a lower-friction Solana environment. They review early Vibeathon submissions, including digital art, AI-assisted projects, data-driven collections, and tools that use Bitcoin block information as part of their underlying structure. Disclosure: The hosts are creators and contributors within the DMT, NAT, and NAT.fun ecosystems and hold related interests. Nothing in this episode is financial advice.

BitMEX shut down without an angry tweet. Offchain Labs CEO Steven Goldfeder joins Kain and Taylor on why dead tokens never get that mercy.

When a token project dies, the same audience spends weeks dragging it. Steven Goldfeder, co-founder and CEO of Offchain Labs, the team behind Arbitrum, joins Kain Warwick and Taylor Monahan to work through why. Goldfeder argues crypto's grant-funded, revenue-optional era is over, and explains why Arbitrum licensed its stack so that partners like Robinhood Chain have to keep paying for it, while Base pays Optimism. They trace the DPRK crewhacking crews now rotating through bridge exploits, debate whether Uniswap's new permissioned pools point toward tokens that carry real investor rights, and ask Goldfeder whether he would trade Arbitrum's open token for a restricted one only a fraction of the world could hold. The conversation closes on Kyle Samani telling Solana builders that Multicoin, the firm he co-founded, is working against them, and what that says about how much of an ecosystem can rest on a single fund.

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.

Andrey Didovskiy is the CEO of Seasons, a Solana DeFi protocol built around a Yield 3.0 mechanism which pays holders real assets, gold, Bitcoin and dollars, funded by trading activity. A near-decade crypto veteran who broke into the industry writing white papers before running Atleta Network and co-founding the consultancy SYSDK, Andrey brings an operator's eye to a key problem in decentralized finance: yield that vanishes when prices turn. Why you should listen Most DeFi headline rates are a bull-market illusion. A "100% APY" advertised on a token that then falls eighty percent is worth almost nothing, because the yield was tied to price all along. Seasons flips that dependency. As Andrey explains, the protocol harvests a ten percent Transactional Transfer Tax on every $SEAS trade and converts it into a basket of hard assets paid directly to holders — no staking, no lock-ups, nothing to claim. Hold enough $SEAS in a self-custody wallet and you become a "node," and gold, Bitcoin and dollars simply arrive twice a week. Because the engine runs on volume and velocity rather than sentiment, it keeps working whether the market is climbing or bleeding — a design Andrey frames as turning your wallet into something closer to a savings account. Crypto has always moved in seasons, and so does Seasons the protocol, packaging its evolution into discrete chapters. Season one paid out in memecoins, and Andrey is candid that the community verdict was swift: the people who actually want yield do not want meme yield. Season two corrected course to what the team calls "perfect order" — a basket of Tether Gold, Wormhole-wrapped Bitcoin and Jupiter Lend USDC — assets a saver might happily hold for years. Under the hood, the roadmap layers three compounding engines: the live TTT, a Stakeholder Stablecoin Yield Module that puts queued distributions to work in transit, and Yield Asset Vaults, the first of which is slated to deploy on Kamino. Recent distributions have hovered around ten percent, with the team steering toward a sustainable double-digit band rather than the fleeting ninety-percent spikes that briefly followed launch. Solana is the foundation by conviction, not accident — Andrey sees it as one of a handful of settlement layers where the coming agentic economy will actually live, though he's careful not to write off Ethereum's next act. The bigger bet is that the winning move is to hide the blockchain entirely: strip out the jargon, and let a "put your idle assets to work" button sit quietly inside a Robinhood or Coinbase account. That thesis runs all the way to machines, with Seasons' first AI agent, Gaia, now public and a ten-year vision of a million autonomous "agent loans" and on-chain credit that finally functions. In the hot-take round he lands as a mild Bitcoin-leaning multichain pragmatist, argues that blockchain becomes the priceless trust-and-security layer beneath AI, flags longevity as the most unevenly distributed piece of the future. His closing pitch is the one that sticks: treat a node as infinite dollar-cost averaging, spend only the yield, and you keep stacking Bitcoin for as long as you hold.

etoro customers are "definitely moving away from crypto," according to the company's founder and chief executive, Yoni Assia. After more than a decade at the forefront of digital assets, Assia says customers are increasingly shifting towards mainstream investing and cash savings, as etoro expands beyond its trading platform into broader financial services. The company, which manages around $20 billion in customer assets for more than 40 million registered users, is pursuing a UK banking licence, launching a Visa debit card and expanding into everyday banking services.Assia also discusses how etoro balances that expansion with its continued offering of cryptocurrency trading. Alongside ISAs and long-term savings products, the platform continues to offer access to crypto assets. Asked whether it is appropriate to offer highly speculative crypto products alongside mainstream savings, Assia said he believes customers should have choice, while acknowledging that the crypto market is "a much less regulated" and "much riskier" ecosystem than traditional capital markets.The conversation also covers the growth of meme coins. Assia says he bought Donald Trump's cryptocurrency after it was listed on etoro. Asked whether he had made or lost money on the investment, he said he had not checked. Assia also highlighted the scale of the market, noting that while there are around 40,000 publicly listed companies worldwide, roughly 40,000 new meme coins are created every day on the Solana blockchain. He contrasted the level of regulation and disclosure required of listed companies with that of meme coins.Artificial intelligence is another topic discussed in the interview. Assia says etoro rebuilt its new app in six months using code written entirely by AI and believes the company's AI assistant is already capable of providing financial guidance that rivals many human advisers. He also discusses how AI could change the way people manage their money and how established financial institutions may need to adapt.The interview concludes with Assia's view of longer-term changes in financial services, including what he describes as a $140 trillion intergenerational transfer of wealth from baby boomers to younger generations. He explains why he believes younger investors will increasingly use AI-powered financial platforms, while also moving towards more traditional savings and investment products as they accumulate wealth.Presenter: Sean Farrington Producer: Olie D'Albertanson Editor: Henry Jones00:00 Introduction 02:00 The shift from crypto to banking 06:40 The rebrand and building an entire app with AI 09:00 Customers moving away from crypto and the boom-bust cycle 13:30 Bitcoin, quantum computing and the AI threat 17:28 Trump's meme coin and the losses suffered by investors 21:52 The copy trading transparency problem 24:30 The cost of living and whether ordinary people can afford risk 27:30 AI versus the traditional financial adviser 31:40 The $140 trillion generational wealth transfer

Bitcoin moved back above $66,000 as U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a fifth straight day of inflows, bringing roughly $727 million into the market over that stretch. The episode also covers renewed momentum around the CLARITY Act, rapid growth in tokenized assets on Solana, a UK inquiry into crypto banking restrictions, Washington state's legal fight with Kalshi, and Base's planned launch of tokenized equities.

Craig reviews another slow week across the crypto market, with Bitcoin continuing to struggle below $65,000 and most major coins trading sideways. He remains long Litecoin after a clean daily breakout and is watching for a possible pullback and bullish continuation. Ethereum showed slightly more strength, while Binance Coin, Cardano, Dogecoin, Solana, XRP, and Tron offered very little momentum. Bitcoin Cash was one of the weaker performers, falling roughly 10% over the week. With few strong trends available, Craig is focusing on higher-timeframe breakout setups in markets such as Injective and Ethereum Classic rather than forcing low-quality trades. His main message is patience: when conditions are this slow, traders should reduce activity, manage risk carefully, and wait for the market to provide better opportunities.Start your free 7-day trial of Market Intern at: https://marketintern.comSubscribe to Craig's free Tuesday newsletter at: https://www.thegrowmeco.comHappy Hodling, Everyone.
