Belief Hole | Conspiracy, the Paranormal and Other Tasty Thought Snacks
In this week's episode of The Chazz Palminteri Show, I sit down with the legendary Jay Siegel, the iconic voice of The Tokens and the man behind one of the most recognizable songs of all time: “The Lion Sleeps Tonight.” Jay shares incredible stories about his journey from Brooklyn to worldwide fame, how The Tokens created their signature sound, and what it was like to be part of the golden era of doo-wop and rock & roll. We talk about the cultural impact of classic harmony groups, Bronx and NYC culture during the 50s and 60s, and how timeless music continues to connect generations. Highlights from this episode include: The story behind “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” Jay's early musical influences and career beginnings Life on the road and performing during the golden age of music The legacy of doo-wop and vocal groups in American culture Why these songs remain beloved decades later This is a must-listen for music lovers, Bronx natives, and anyone who appreciates the voices that helped shape American pop culture.
In this episode, we chat with Dave Mitchell and David Van Kleeck of PJKT72, who are transforming the mining industry through blockchain tokenization and redefining resource ownership through blockchain tokenization. We're diving into a conversation at the intersection of blockchain and the natural world where two pioneers are aiming to reshape how we value, protect, and access the planet's raw materials. We discuss: What inspired the creation of MetWave — and how it's targeting real-world problems in mining and energy. The difference between MetWave Green and MetWave Black — and how this dual-token model could transform environmental protection and investment. What it really means to tokenize coal in situ — and why that's fundamentally different from traditional resource ownership. And whether this model could extend to other critical materials like lithium, rare earths, or even natural gas. KEY TAKEAWAYS The MetWave Green token provides a mechanism for environmental protection by allowing stakeholders to invest in keeping coal in the ground The use of blockchain technology and smart contracts enables verifiable and instantaneous transactions, improving traceability and efficiency in the coal supply chain While the current focus is on coal, the tokenisation model has the potential to be applied to other natural resources, such as graphite, graphene, and possibly rare earth elements BEST MOMENTS "The green token is an opportunity to leave the coal in place, providing a voice that hasn't existed before in how carbon is emitted into the atmosphere." "By tokenising it, what it's doing is opening up opportunities that had not been available to both public and private investors." "The smart contracts in the blockchain would enforce that, providing a transparent, permanent record of the transactions that are done."

SummaryWeb3 adoption is one of the most talked-about challenges in blockchain, but what does it really mean? In this episode of the ATX DAO Podcast, we dig into what drives real user adoption beyond hype and token incentives. From sticky product design and gaming loops to wallet abstraction, UI/UX friction, and multi-chain interoperability, the conversation explores how projects can move past “play-to-earn” and “social-fi” models toward genuine, mainstream usage. We also break down why abstraction matters, how wallets are evolving, and what it will take for blockchains to feel as seamless as the internet itself.Chapters00:00 Intro03:05 What Web3 Adoption Means05:20 Gaming, Finance, and Sticky Loops07:45 Tokens, Incentives & Product Merit09:44 UI/UX and Product Design12:26 Design Choices and User Experience14:47 Seed Phrases & Abstraction17:07 Wallets and Multi-Chain Friction19:31 Chain Tribalism & Interoperability21:50 From DApps to Apps24:18 Wallet Innovations & Gas Abstraction26:40 Closing ThoughtsCheck out our friends at Tequila 512: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 DiscordConnect with the ATX DAO Podcast team on X (Twitter):Ash: @ashinthewildLuke: @Luke152Support 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.Tools & Resources We LovePodcast Recording & Editing - Riverside FM: We use Riverside FM to record and edit our episodes.

Episode 66: Phil Graham, Harneys When I set out to do this show, my goal was to arm aspiring fund managers with the information they need to launch and operate a fund. In the legal realm, I happen to possess a lot of that information from my day job, but there's so much more that goes into launching and operating a fund. And wise though I may be, my area of expertise doesn't cover it all. So I'm going to bring in some friends to share their wisdom in various other aspects of fund management. I am honored to have Phil Graham, Global Head of Investment Funds and Digital Assets at Harneys on the show today to talk to us about BVI funds law. Key Points From This Episode: Why should I choose BVI over Cayman for my offshore fund?Does my fund always need to register with the local regulator?What does the registration process cost/involve?Brief rundown of the local regulatory requirements for a BVI fund.How should I choose the right offshore counsel?Creating pathways to regulatory compliance.What's the smartest thing a new fund manager can do?

Episode 65: The Zombie Episode (Three Rungs of the Regulatory Ladder) For as long as I've worked in crypto, the industry has been plagued by the dreaded REGULATORY UNCERTAINTY. That is, apparently, until the last couple months. All of a sudden I'm seeing clients putting stuff like “Regulatory Clarity Achieved!” in marketing decks and celebrating the demise of uncertainty's reign. Maybe pump the brakes a bit. I don't think we're quite there yet. The new SEC has certainly moved quickly to dismantle the anti-crypto reputation its predecessors cultivated, but it takes more than a vibe shift to achieve regulatory clarity. In today's episode, I analogize regulatory uncertainty to a zombie plague (obviously) and explain how regulation comes in three levels – kinda like a ladder leading you to salvation from the undead hordes surrounding you. I promise it'll make sense if you listen. Or it won't. Key Points From This Episode: Explaining the three rungs of the regulatory ladder, from the lowest to the highest: vibes; formal rulemaking; and legislation.What rung of the ladder are we on now?What kinds of zombies could still get us at this rung?How can we get higher up that ladder?

Would you ever keep a photo of a loved one taken after they died? Or wear a bracelet made from their hair? In this episode of Spirit Speakeasy, we're exploring some of the most haunting—and surprisingly heartfelt—mourning practices from the past.From Victorian post-mortem photography and death masks, to hair jewelry and family hair wreaths displayed in living rooms, these tangible tokens of grief may seem strange by today's standards… but they once carried deep spiritual, emotional, and cultural meaning.
In this series, Canon Maxwell leads a conversation about the central elements Christian faith as set forth in the Nicene and Apostles' Creeds. Using Rowan Williams' book, “Tokens of Trust,” Canon Maxwell will address questions like: What does it mean to believe in God? Can God possibly be almighty in the midst of so much evil and suffering? How am I to understand the meaning of Jesus Christ's ministry and resurrection? To what purpose is the church called? And what does it mean to follow Christ in today's broken world?
In this episode, Vercel CEO Guillermo Rauch goes deep on how V0, their text-to-app platform, has already generated over 100 million applications and doubled Vercel's user base in under a year.Guillermo reveals how a tiny SWAT team inside Vercel built V0 from scratch, why “vibe coding” is making software creation accessible to everyone (not just engineers), and how the AI Cloud is automating DevOps, making cloud infrastructure self-healing, and letting companies expose their data to AI agents in just five lines of code.You'll hear why “every company will have to rethink itself as a token factory,” how Vercel's Next.js went from a conference joke to powering Walmart, Nike, and Midjourney, and why the next billion app creators might not write a single line of code. Guillermo breaks down the difference between vibe coding and agentic engineering, shares wild stories of users building apps from napkin sketches, and explains how Vercel is infusing “taste” and best practices directly into their AI models.We also dig into the business side: how Vercel's AI-powered products are driving explosive growth, why retention and margins are strong, and how the company is adapting to a new wave of non-technical users. Plus: the future of MCP servers, the security challenges of agent-to-agent communication, and why prompting and AI literacy are now must-have skills.VercelWebsite - https://vercel.comX/Twitter - https://x.com/vercelGuillermo RauchLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/rauchgX/Twitter - https://x.com/rauchgFIRSTMARKWebsite - https://firstmark.comX/Twitter - https://twitter.com/FirstMarkCapMatt Turck (Managing Director)LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/turck/X/Twitter - https://twitter.com/mattturck(00:00) Intro (02:08) What Is V0 and Why Did It Take Off So Fast?

Episode 63: Hedge Fund Offering Terms, Part 2: Liquidity Today is the second in a series of Tokens of Wisdom episodes walking through the main offering terms for an open-ended fund, aka a hedge fund. One of the first things I do with new fund clients is take them through a fund questionnaire to determine the offering terms for their new fund. This is usually a one hour conversation, at the end of which I have most of what I need to draft the fund's offering documents. Since I know ToW listeners like it short and sweet, I'm going to break this up into a handful of different episodes. Today's episode discusses liquidity terms. Key Points From This Episode: How do hedge fund managers think about liquidity provisions?What's the tension between manager and investor?Common liquidity restrictions/mechanisms.What variables are relevant for each mechanism?
