    Predicting the Future w/ Evan Rama (CEO @ CRSHMARKET)

    Most prediction markets are built around distant, abstract outcomes. CRSH Market is bringing them into the moment. In this episode, Mark sits down with Evan Rama, co-founder of CRSH Market, a livestream prediction platform turning real-time IRL content into social, fast-settling markets. With roots in live entertainment, creator shows, dating formats, and crypto, CRSH Market is exploring what happens when audiences can do more than watch: they can predict, participate, and put conviction behind the moment. Evan breaks down how CRSH Market is building trust around live outcomes, why market design matters when creators and audiences are involved, and how the team thinks about manipulation, settlement, regulation, and responsible growth. We also get into their fee model, the role of community early adopters, and why the team chose Monad as part of the infrastructure for fast, consumer-friendly crypto experiences. The conversation goes deep on the future of prediction markets: from sports and dating to gaming, livestreaming, creator monetization, and real-world social behavior. Are prediction markets just a financial tool, or are they becoming a new layer of internet culture? For crypto founders, Web3 builders, creator-economy operators, and anyone curious about where prediction markets go after Polymarket and Kalshi, this episode is a look at a more social, entertaining, and participatory future. Guest: Evan Rama, co-founder of CRSH Market, one of the first livestream prediction platforms bringing real-time prediction markets to IRL entertainment, creators, and crypto-native communities.

    Bitcoin, Liberty, and Lawfare w/ Angela McArdle (Prev Chairman @ Libertarian Party)

    In this episode of Cryptoconomy I sit down with Angela McArdle to talk about what happens when Bitcoin, state power and human freedom collide. Angela has spent the last few years at the center of the liberty world. She has helped push for clemency for Ross Ulbricht, fought lawfare against Bitcoin developers and activists, and worked to turn libertarians from “spoilers” into real kingmakers. We get into: • How the Ross Ulbricht fight actually worked behind the scenes • Why prosecutors and regulators are going after Bitcoin and privacy tools through the back door • What a government “strategic Bitcoin reserve” might really mean for freedom • Why recruiting Bitcoiners and misfits matters more than chasing party loyalty This is not a price talk episode. It is a conversation about power, lawfare and the kind of courage it will take to keep Bitcoin and open networks on the side of human beings instead of the state.  Angela on X: https://x.com/RealAngelaMc Mark on X: https://x.com/MarkKilaghbian Mark's (free) dating app: www.dataing.io

    Is Runes Dead? (@JakeBlockchain vs @RaphaStacks)

    In this episode, I sit down with Rapha and Jake Blockchain for a deep dive on the future of Runes on Bitcoin—what they unlock, what they break, and what actually survives once the hype clears. We get into why Runes exist in the first place, how they change miner incentives and blockspace markets, and whether Bitcoin-native fungible tokens end up as pure casino chips or critical infrastructure for the next cycle. Along the way we cover:• Runes vs BRC-20 and where each fits in the Bitcoin ecosystem• How Runes might reshape fees, mempools, and miner economics• The culture war around “spam,” memes, and “serious” Bitcoin use• What builders should pay attention to now if they’re Runes-curious• Our best and worst case scenarios for Runes over the next few years If you’re trying to understand whether Runes are the future of Bitcoin experimentation or just another hype wave, this conversation will give you a grounded, no-BS view from both sides.

    Government Collapse & The Crypto Lifeline w/ Naz Kabbani (Investor @ BECO Capital)

    In this episode, Mark sits down with Naz Kabbani, an investor formerly at BECO Capital (the Middle East’s largest VC fund with $900M AUM) and Paradigm (a leading crypto VC fund with over $12Bn AUM). Naz shares an eye-opening firsthand account of the Lebanese Banking Crisis, revealing how his family—like many others—lost 75-80% of their life savings almost overnight. But in the chaos, an underground economy emerged, driven by crypto adoption, particularly Bitcoin and USDT. Operating largely through Telegram and Signal, this shadow economy has allowed Lebanese citizens to reclaim financial autonomy despite heavy governmental restrictions and corruption. Discover how crypto is quietly shifting power back into the hands of the people, reshaping Lebanon’s economic landscape in real-time. This remarkable story highlights crypto’s true global potential and its profound impact on people’s lives during crises.

    Hashrate, Halvings, and the Future of Compute w/ Frank Holmes (CEO @ Hive Digital)

    Mark sits down with Frank Holmes, one of the most recognized voices in crypto infrastructure, to go inside the machine room of large-scale Bitcoin mining.

They explore treasury strategy (to HODL or not), AI/ML workloads as a new revenue lane for mining data centers, and the policy landscape shaping energy and proof-of-work. F rank also shares investor-grade frameworks for evaluating miners, common red flags, and how to think about BTC cycles without getting wrecked by volatility. If you care about the intersection of energy, compute, and sound money, this one’s a blueprint.
