    Who Really Owns Crypto Users? Bitcoin Self-Custody, Ethereum Issuance & the App vs. Chain Debate

    Bitcoin self-custody is under pressure, Ethereum is debating its monetary future, and crypto apps are starting to challenge the chains they were built on. In this episode of Token Narratives, we unpack three major debates that could shape the next phase of crypto. First, we look at the controversy surrounding Coldcard and what it could mean for Bitcoin self-custody. Could security concerns push more BTC holders toward custodians, institutional products, or spot Bitcoin ETFs? Then we turn to Ethereum, where proposals to reduce ETH issuance and staking rewards have sparked a bigger debate around monetary policy. Would lower issuance strengthen ETH’s store-of-value narrative, or could reduced staking yields weaken institutional demand? Finally, we explore one of crypto’s biggest strategic questions: Do users belong to the apps they use or the blockchains those apps are built on? With platforms such as Pump.fun becoming deeply connected to Solana and Trade.xyz driving activity through Hyperliquid, successful crypto apps may eventually face a major decision—stay within their existing ecosystems or launch chains of their own. 🎧 Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcast platform to catch more conversations with industry leaders, economists, and builders shaping the future of crypto and finance.

    AI-flation, ETH Labs & Erik Voorhees: Is Crypto + AI Real or Just Hopium? | Token Narratives Ep. 107

    In this episode of *Token Narratives*, Graham Stone and David Sencil unpack one of the strangest weeks in markets this year. Bitcoin is wicking toward $58K, the NASDAQ shed 1,000 points in under 30 minutes, and the market is suddenly asking whether the AI build-out — and the “AI-flation” coming with it — is sustainable.The conversation runs from whether AI has become “too big to fail” and will be government-backstopped, to what cheap Chinese open-source models mean for proprietary AI economics, to the Strategy/STRC drama and whether an AI unwind hurts crypto or rotates capital into it. Graham and David then turn to ETH Labs' challenge to the Ethereum Foundation, a manufactured Solana pump, and David's hour-long Erik Voorhees interview on Venice and decentralized AI.Additional topics include:- Why skeptics argue Anthropic's real losses far exceed the reported figure- Whether record sidelined cash and cooling inflation set up the next leg higher- The ETH Labs vs Ethereum Foundation power struggle and Vitalik's veto- Standard Chartered's bullish $100 Uniswap call — and the counterargument- Why Venice is positioned as a consumer AI company, not a crypto company- Erik Voorhees on decentralized AI as the real crypto + AI use case🎧 Listen now and join the conversation.
