Can Bitcoin Escape the Quantum Black Hole?

Is quantum computing Bitcoin's biggest hidden risk - and is anyone actually solving it? In this episode, Dominic Weibel and Luca Gnos sit down with Charles Edwards, founder of Capriole Investments, to break down how geopolitics, macro conditions, and quantum risk are shaping Bitcoin's next move. Edwards shares his onchain valuation tools pointing to a ~43% discount from fair value, explains why institutions now dominate Bitcoin's demand structure, and makes the case that quantum risk is already suppressing price - with a potential major repricing on the horizon within 12–24 months.

Every Time Crypto Failed, It Came Back 10x Bigger

Every time crypto has failed, it came back bigger. Charles Hoskinson — co-founder of Ethereum and founder of Cardano — joins Dominic Weibel and Wolfgang Vitale on Verified to break down why 2025's underperformance may actually be setting up for crypto's biggest leap yet. From inconsistent U.S. policy and ETF ring-fencing to retail losses from structured-product speculation, the divergence was real but so is the setup. The conversation goes deep: institutional capture vs. the cypherpunk ethos, custodial apps winning users by default, Bitcoin's quantum vulnerability and DARPA timelines, the tokenomics that could drive the next adoption cycle, AI-driven job displacement, and why onchain governance is no longer optional. This is the conversation most people in crypto aren't having.

Aztec Co-Founder Explains How Privacy Unlocks Ethereum's Product-Market Fit

In this latest episode, hosts Wolfgang Vitale and Marco Mariani sit down with Arnaud Schenk, co-founder of Aztec. The conversation centers on a bold claim: Ethereum hasn't yet achieved product-market fit, primarily due to the lack of privacy in transactions. Arnaud introduces Aztec as a groundbreaking solution that brings privacy and programmability to Ethereum through advanced cryptographic methods like Zero-Knowledge proofs and multiparty computation.  The discussion traces Aztec's journey since 2017, exploring the technical hurdles they've overcome and the strategic thinking behind their recent $60 million token sale, which featured innovative identity verification via ZK Passport. Arnaud shares his vision for blockchain's future role in global finance, emphasizing that decentralized governance and privacy are essential for meaningful adoption, ultimately aiming for blockchain to power 30-40% of global economic activity.
