    Money Is Already Digital. The Question Is Who Controls It?: Part One w/ Dr. Tonya Evans

    Money has been digital for years. The real question was never whether it should be, it's who controls the database behind it: a bank, a government, or math. In this episode, Dr. Tonya Evans opens with that question, sparked by something Karen Hunter, host of The Karen Hunter Show on SiriusXM Urban View Radio, asked her live on air the week before: what is money? Dr. Evans runs it through debit cards, Venmo, direct deposit, and the twenty in your wallet to make the case that money made the jump to digital a long time ago, then goes deeper into what money is actually for. You've never wanted the dollar itself; you've wanted what it can get you. From there, the episode traces the three kinds of trust that have carried money through human history: trust in people, trust in institutions, and now, trust in verification. This is part one of a two-part series. Part two picks up next week with Bitcoin's answer to the trust question, and the fight happening in Washington right now over who gets to decide what counts as money. Dr. Tonya M.

    Satoshi Nakamoto, The Ghost Who Changed Money and Why the Mystery Still Protects Yours w/ Dr. Tonya Evans

    Who is Satoshi Nakamoto? Bitcoin's creator built a new kind of money, walked away in 2011, and left a fortune worth tens of billions untouched for 17 years. This year the New York Times went hunting and came back with a name, and the man they named says it isn't him. This episode unpacks the greatest unsolved mystery in money: why the creator vanished as governments closed in, and why that empty chair may be protecting your money right now, from founder risk, from regulators, from single points of failure. You'll also learn the one question that exposes every fake "Satoshi unmasked" headline before you fall for it. Plus, your State of Crypto: the Senate punts the CLARITY Act to September while institutional money keeps flowing, and the debut of a new recurring segment, The Greatest Threat to the Greatest Threat, tracking what could disrupt the disruptor, from AI deepfake scams coming for your wallet to the quantum countdown.

    Confidently Crypto w/ Dr. Tonya Evans: #ICYMI: Crypto Is Reshaping Law, Most Lawyers Aren't Ready

    #ICYMI #ConfidentlyCrypto Miss this one? Catch it now. This episode originally aired March 30, 2026, and it’s more relevant today than when it dropped. Dr. Tonya M. Evans breaks down what lawyers and business decision makers still get wrong about digital assets, what the joint SEC-CFTC token taxonomy means for how we classify tokens, and why attorneys who aren’t fluent in this space are already a liability risk for their clients. Quick update since this aired: The Senate Banking Committee passed the CLARITY Act in May 2026. It’s now on the Senate Legislative Calendar, but it still has to clear the Senate Agriculture Committee’s version, survive a floor vote, be reconciled with the House bill, and get signed. The midterm clock is ticking. The urgency Dr. Evans flagged here has only grown. Start by spotting the issues that matter.
