Goodnow revolutionaries—

Matthew Wiley joins the Rise Up team. He brings DeFi research experience, a tennis tournament coming up this weekend, and thoughts on why the Clarity Act should probably be renamed.

Will and Evan walk through how liquid staking works using Jito as the example. The conversation covers validator economics, why people stake even when markets are sideways, and what liquid staking tokens actually represent.

Someone mentions Claude for research workflows. Matthew talks about Katana, the new DeFi chain incubated by Polygon. Alex points out there is still way too much misinformation in crypto.

Plus: Trust Issues returns tonight at 7:30. Book club is back on schedule with "The Mystery of Capital" by Hernando de Soto.

Goodnow revolutionaries—

The hot war in Iran and the AI cold war are both escalating. The U.S. government labeled Anthropic a supply-chain risk, and the decision to use AI for mass surveillance and lethal weapons is entirely in government hands now.

Alex rants on the ethics of prediction markets after Polymarket and Kalshi saw insider trading during the war, plus ZachXBT's Axiom exposé. Someone asks if you can trade oil on a blockchain. You can—Hyperliquid, Lighter, and Dreamcash all offer oil futures if you have a VPN.

We take questions about common scams like copytrading and pig butchering, scrutinize hype claims about tokenized real estate, and fact-check the claim that XRP has 63% of the onchain treasury bill market using the RWA dashboard.

Plus: Weekend bar stories, martini dice rolls, and how to do your own crypto research.
