Base, Builders, and the Bubble: Why Crypto Keeps Missing the Moment | Ep 409

Goodnow revolutionaries—

Alex and Will held down the fort while Evan recovered from a late night in Buenos Aires. The show opened light with weather talk and a few moon cycle jokes before shifting into the charts. They mapped out potential volatility around the upcoming Fed minutes and NVIDIA earnings, walked through Solana levels, and talked stablecoin yields and how to manage positions when the market refuses to pick a direction.

With much of the episode weaving around Base: They broke down developer sentiment, incentives, distribution, and why crypto continues to struggle expanding beyond its own bubble. They revisited early experiences with Base, highlighted how ecosystems misallocate resources, and explained why marketing, distribution, and real applications will always outperform burns, hype, and token mechanics.

The conversation widened to chain competition, gaming’s ongoing VC distortion problem, and how repeating the same growth playbook is keeping the entire space stagnant. Closing with real bright spots: Polygon’s Revolut integration and Arculus teaming with ChainAbuse to improve scam reporting and user protection.
