The crew kicks off with the sale of Meebits, breaking down its acquisition and whether it can become a major digital IP. They dive into the resurgence of social tokens, questioning if influencer-backed assets and meme coins are a real evolution or just another hype cycle. The conversation shifts to Ethereum’s identity crisis—is it still a compute layer, or is it becoming a monetary asset like Bitcoin? They explore staking, L2 token dynamics, and whether Ethereum’s future is dictated by market forces. Finally, they tackle the rise of AI-powered solo founders, discussing how billion-dollar projects are emerging from small teams and what that means for crypto’s traditionally network-driven ecosystem. Plus, the shifting role of marketing, Web2’s struggles, and the ideological tensions shaping the space.
