  • The Food Illusion: Starring Domino’s and the Shrinking Pizza Scam
    Jun 25 2025

    In this episode, Chip Mahoney exposes The Food Illusion—a modern scam where brands like Domino’s shrink portions, inflate prices, and manipulate perception using small-handed actors and clever framing. But it’s not just about pizza. It’s a deeper commentary on how value is being stripped from everything we consume, from food to finance. If protein is the new gold, then what’s left on your plate is just packaging. This isn’t shrinkflation—it’s systemic dilution.

    Quantum computing risk in blockchain isn’t theoretical anymore. BlackRock just flagged it — and in this episode, I sit down with Ian Smith, CEO of Quantum EVM, to unpack what that means for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the entire crypto ecosystem.

    We dive into how quantum breakthroughs could shatter current cryptographic standards, why most blockchains are still vulnerable, and what’s being done to build quantum-proof infrastructure — including how Quantum EVM is designing a post-quantum future that stays Ethereum-compatible.

    Guest

    What we cover
    -How quantum computing threatens crypto security
    -Why most blockchains aren’t ready for this shift
    -What makes Quantum EVM different and why it matters
    -Projects that execute better than others

    Quote from the episode
    "If we don't migrate the cryptography, that's our fault."

  • Front Run The Week: Avalanche's Quiet Power Play + Krak The World Preview
    May 29 2025

    In this episode, I walk you through last week’s Avalanche recap—why I believe VanEck’s Purposebuilt Fund is more than just a bullish headline. It’s a signal that Vaultseason is underway, and institutions are setting up shop while retail is still chasing memes.

    But more importantly, I give you a sneak peek at what’s coming in the next Front Run The Week newsletter: Krak The World. Kraken’s latest campaign isn’t just edgy branding—it could be crypto’s “1984 moment,” and I’ll show you why I think it marks a deeper pivot in Web3’s narrative war.

    If you’re still waiting for charts to tell you what’s next, you’re already behind. This show is for those who want to front run the signals—and own the economy before it owns you.

    Kraken's "Krak The World" campaign isn't just edgy marketing—it's a bold statement on crypto's future.

    In this episode, I dissect how Kraken's latest move mirrors Apple's iconic 1984 ad, signaling a shift in Web3's cultural narrative. Behind the scenes, Kraken quietly listed Aethir (ATH), a decentralized cloud infrastructure project poised to revolutionize AI and gaming scalability.

    I delve into why "Krak The World" serves as both a political and cultural manifesto for crypto freedom. Then, I provide a Future Price Prediction (FPP) on Aethir, exploring its potential impact on the decentralized cloud space.
