    #196: Quantum vs Bitcoin with Gean Chu of Honey Island Capital

    Gean Chu is a partner at Honey Island Capital. He joins host Aaron Stanley for a deep dive on quantum computing, which has become one of the main factors weighing on crypto markets in 2026. Gean breaks down the March paper from Google Quantum AI that cut the estimated hardware requirement for breaking Bitcoin twentyfold, explains why roughly 6.9 million bitcoins already have their public keys exposed on chain, and argues the harder problem is the coins sitting in Satoshi-era wallets that nobody can move. He also lays out the mitigation plans under discussion, the realistic timelines, and why he thinks the risk is already priced in.

    #195: "Scale to $100 Billion or Die:” KAST CEO Raagulan Pathy on the Stablecoin Neobank Race

    Raagulan Pathy is the CEO of Kast. He joins host Aaron Stanley at Blockchain Rio 2026, a year after his first appearance and roughly $80 million in Series A funding later. Rags explains why he thinks the stablecoin neobank market is winner take most, why Kast scrapped its planned token airdrop in favor of equity, and what the company found when 20 to 30% of its users started running business spend through a consumer card. He also makes the case that Latin America has the strongest product-market fit for stablecoins anywhere in the world.

    #194: The Fraudsters Have Agents Now with Sumsub's Ilya Brovin

    Ilya Brovin is Chief Growth Officer of Sumsub. He joins host Aaron Stanley at Bitso Business' Stablecoin Conference in Mexico City to discuss how AI is changing identity fraud. Sumsub onboards 12 to 15 million people a month, and Brovin describes a clear shift over the past year: criminals have stopped faking documents by hand and started training agents to attempt verification programmatically, at machine speed and scale. The conversation covers why deepfake detection alone does not work, what reusable identity looks like in practice, and how verification changes when the customer is an agent rather than a person.

    #193: Live from Ai4: AI as Predictive Intelligence with Knowidea

    Yatharth Sejpal and Brian Li are co-founder/CEO and co-founder/CTO of Knowidea. They join host Aaron Stanley at the Ai4 Conference in Las Vegas to discuss why they're betting on formally verified, deterministic AI instead of the 95 percent confidence models most companies accept. The two explain their neurosymbolic architecture, which forces AI agents to produce a mathematical proof for every output, and why that distinction matters for agentic payments and fraud prevention. They also share use cases spanning oil and gas, wealth management, and M&A.

    #191: Crossing the Stablecoin Adoption Chasm - Live from Bitso Stablecoin Conference

    Joao Reginatto of M0, Monica Ramirez of Anchorage Digital, Olivia Vande Woude of Ava Labs, and Sheraz Shere of Solana Foundation join host Aaron Stanley at the Bitso Business Stablecoin Conference in Mexico City to discuss stablecoin readiness and the gap between corporate intent and implementation. The tech and the regulatory picture have mostly caught up, but companies are still stuck on accounting treatment, internal buy-in, and a shortage of talent that understands both crypto and traditional finance. The panel covers real examples like MoneyGram's board approval process and OpenTrade's work winning over CFOs, then closes with a lightning round of bold predictions on where stablecoins go next.
