    Fat Pipes, Fast Cycles & Policy Concerns: Dawufi Returns | Ep 066 🍻🌗

    Goodnow revolutionaries— Dawufi returns to talk hair care secrets, the honest state of crypto social media, and why audiences do not actually care about decentralization. The conversation moves through Farcaster and Zora's real value propositions, whether competition enables or prevents extraction, and what independent media really means in a world of algorithmically-driven feeds. Someone asks if the bear market is here. Evan and Dawufi walk through competing theories: legislation throttling momentum versus accelerated cycles from better infrastructure. Alex worries about unhelpful policy. The group lands somewhere between cautious and curious. Then the show drifts into Polymarket grocery stores, Big Beef's market dominance, and Alex unknowingly modeling for a cologne advertisement. It is that kind of night. Plus: Korean soju, beachy granola haircare philosophy, and the rigged game show that proves all animals are equal but some are more equal than others.

    Would've Been $36K Today. Instead I'm Starting Over. TurboSol + Drift Tutorial | Ep 453

    Goodnow revolutionaries— Will got liquidated. For the first time ever. His $5K challenge went from $5K to $18K... and then to zero when he shorted Hyperliquid and it went green while everything else went red. Would've been $36K today. Brutal. But here's the thing: he learned a lot, and he's starting fresh with new rules. This time it's Drift Protocol and DeFi Carrot, max 10x leverage, and only Bitcoin and gold. Less degen. More sustainable. We break down both platforms on screen: what TurboSol is, how the leverage tokens work, and how to actually use Drift for perpetuals trading. Plus Alex is buying TurboSol as we go down—because that's what conviction looks like. Evan explains his River DCA setup—daily buys, zero fees, and a rule to buy 2x on red days. Set it and forget it. The best investing decision he ever made. Will also walks through Bitcoin TA: we're in a bear flag, watching $63K as a potential bounce zone. And yes, the market is overleveraged.

    Altcoin Season 2026? Here's the Honest Answer. + Gusto Picks Solana. XRP Army in Shambles. | Ep 452

    Goodnow revolutionaries— Will's in the mountains of Maine catching fireball nips from strangers in overalls. Just another Wednesday. Aave founder Stani Kulechov dropped $30M on a Notting Hill mansion. Meanwhile, Vitalik says most L2s are unnecessary—and Will agrees. As Ethereum mainnet gets faster and cheaper, what happens to the chains that only sell "we're faster and cheaper"? Then Alex accidentally starts the Great XRP Debate by sharing a Gusto x Solana payments headline. Cue the fireworks. Why isn't XRP as valuable as Solana when it's talked about more? What would change our minds about XRP? And what's the difference between utility and actual usefulness? Plus: Will there be an altcoin season in 2026? Short answer—don't hitch your wagon to a horse that's driving off a cliff. And a huge shoutout to Jito—the first sponsor to renew!

    Bootcamp vs Self-Teaching: Which Path Gets You Hired? w/ Ashane from Metana | Ep 451

    Goodnow revolutionaries— Evan's computer is melting into sludge (Zincian crab claws involved). Will's skiing in Maine. Alex is captaining. It's Monday. Will shares his $5K trading challenge update with a key lesson: don't set margin trades you can't watch. Also, Polygon's chart is looking clean—could run if 12.5 cents becomes support. Then we welcome Ashane from Metana—a blockchain education bootcamp that's placed students at Google, Coinbase, and across DeFi. We dig into: How do you actually break into Web3? Is a bootcamp worth it vs self-teaching? What role does AI play in learning to code now? Metana takes an AI-first approach (because if you're not learning to work with AI, you're already behind). They've got bootcamps from absolute beginner to advanced, plus career support that actually works. Rise Up community members get $2,000 off any Web3 bootcamp.

    Did Satoshi See His Shadow? + Will Doubles His Trading Stack in 18 Hours | Ep 450

    Goodnow revolutionaries— It's Groundhog's Day! Did Satoshi see his shadow? 6 more weeks of bear market or is the sun coming out? Will kicks off his $5,000 trading challenge and breaks down how leverage, longing, and shorting actually work—including the mistake that almost cost him everything. Then we go around the horn: Evan added BTC, Turbo SOL, ETH, and UNI. Will's DCA-ing BTC/ETH/SOL and eyeing Circle stock plus precious metals. Alex is (surprise!) buying SOL—but his method might surprise you. Plus: How to actually DYOR. Whitepapers aren't enough. We break down the tools that matter—DeFi Llama, Artemis, Messari, Dune—and how to use on-chain data to build real conviction. And if you can't explain why you own something?

    The Fed Said No + How to Actually DYOR, Turbo Gold, & Bitcoin Bears | Ep 449

    Goodnow revolutionaries— Will's back from snowy Boston and we're talking wintahs, the Rise Up calendar (sexy George Washington?!), and the Fed's 10-2 vote to hold rates. Alex breaks down DeFi Carrot's Turbo product with a focus on Turbo Gold—think leverage-lite with built-in liquidation protection. Tokenized gold options are heating up—PAXG on Drift, tether gold, and whether Ondo can hold its ground as Aave muscles into RWAs. Will previews Bitcoin's bear flag situation ahead of tonight's Market Watch. Then Evan and Alex DYOR a user-submitted project (ZigChain) and share DeFi Llama's new "What does this token do?" feature. Plus: advice for newcomers and why a DEX + VPN might be your new best friends.
