Will AI empower us or make us obsolete? We unpack how labor-replacing AI could dismantle the very incentives that once gave rise to liberal democracies, social mobility, and human-centered innovation—and what it might take to build a future worth living in. ------

In today's episode we go behind the scenes of the new Ethereum documentary featuring Vitalik Buterin. The filmmakers take us inside Vitalik's mind, lifestyle, and values — from building bunny worlds in Excel as a kid to helping Ukraine fund its war effort through Ethereum. We unpack why Vitalik skipped the White House Crypto Summit, how he handles the spotlight, and what the film reveals about his view on leadership, decentralization, speculation, and building through bear markets. If you've ever wondered what makes Ethereum's creator tick, this is the story you've been waiting for.

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. In this episode, the crew dives into the drama surrounding the OM token crash, the murky world of fake market caps, and Binance's role in fueling questionable projects. They unpack Trump's tariff chaos and whether Bitcoin could emerge as the real winner in a broken economic order. Plus, Vitalik stirs the pot by calling out “bad apps” like Pump.fun—igniting a moral war over what crypto should be building.

New Sode':  Bonsoir from me and my AI Agent in my suite in Gstaad. My agent serves a dual position. 1 securing me as an Extra on this season's white Lotus as the kind hooker and 2 meme coin trades on my behalf so that I have extra spending money to fix stepson's embarrassing backhand. A true crypto use case.As I sip my Cote Du Rhone, listening to Tosca kill herself while watching my ETH stagnate, I am hesitant to call Vitalik and ask him to kindly make ETH seem a little more gangster, like a character that should appear on #The Wire, but then I thought against it, as his mother and I are still in a fight but I am much younger.  I reflect the fact that conference season is upon us. I have many grievances with Ethereum Foundation Denver and thus I will not be attending and instead will be getting high on Liquid Staking Derivatives in a melange of the ever expanding Solana ecosystem in the confines of my own imagination. My grievances with the EF U are too long that my quill pen will run out before I can front run my trades and My Bulimic MEV bot will no longer be rendered silent. Ipso facto let's start with Denver for the time being;  My grievances include but are not limited toNo get lip injectionsNo Museums that carry any Impressionists/Surrealists art  its policy that I cannot bring my Bedazzled Ak47 into any Panel for my own safety. I digress;My guest today is Hadley Stern a prominent Figure, formerly of the morally corrupt Traditional Finance ecosystem who marinated himself into Marinade. What is Marinade? Well, it's a marketplace much like a Bazaar in Turkey where you can get oodles and boodles of yield on your Solana safely and sexily.  We have a very serious discussion that is actually interesting because Hadley has been in the space long enough to know how to explain cryptomatic themes without driving his audience to drink cyanide out of boredom or confusion. I have been a long time stalker of Hadley's ever since he graced the podcast of #OntheBrink when I stumbled upon this podcast thinking I was going to listen to an episode about how to grapple with mental health due to my unresolved feelings of my ex-husband when in fact he explained how Staking indeed enhances security and injects a new economic layer into the crypto ecosystem.  This ep resolved my feelings towards my ex. Hadley is an expert leader of teams and also skilled in how to handle the relentless crypto-paparazzi.As such he provided me with some much needed media training before my stint as a guest on  the Real Housewives of North Korea. He has become more than a colleague but not in a Bizarre we need to call HR way, like in normal circumstances concerning me and HR, but in a way that he is my friend and my marinated Solana guru. He is also hella Fun and it is a crying shame that yet another crypto bro remains off the market. #Marinade #Glitter Ledger. 

This week's Weekly Rollup covers Trump's clash with the Fed over interest rates and the surprising crypto moves from Trump Media.
