And while real builders fade quietly, the spotlight chasers line up to praise Bitcoin like it’s their personal achievement. That’s what this episode’s about. How people born into opportunity — the Nepo Babies of crypto and politics alike — always seem to “believe” in the assets that don’t require belief. They show up late, call it conviction, and take credit for timing that was handed to them. So here’s my challenge: for once, don’t just back the shiny thing. Pick something like Kadena. Go all in. Hold through the dump. Then talk about conviction. Because this cycle isn’t testing who can predict the next bull run — it’s testing who can stay aligned when the lights go out. 📡 Signals — 7 Days Free at tokentrust.substack.com Get exclusive market breakdowns, macro indicators, and projects I’m tracking.

I connect this to Tom Lee’s previous bullish statements on ETH ($5K → $10K thesis) and how, ironically, the same institutions chasing yield on-chain may now be retreating just as the real cycle begins. The bubble wasn’t in the assets — it was in the misunderstanding of what ownership actually means. 📡 Signals — 7 Days Free at tokentrust.substack.com Get exclusive market breakdowns, macro indicators, and projects I’m tracking.

When tariffs return, power redistributes. From medieval tolls to modern trade wars, control has always taxed movement — and crypto was built to break that pattern.

We discuss: What Aly’s looking for in the next wave of Web3 founders and ideas How vaults could onboard the next billion users And whether there’s enough crypto royalty left to defend the space if another villain rises Want to see the full video version of this conversation?

Prophecy Asset Management and its CEO, Jeffrey Spotts, allegedly funneled hundreds of millions to a single trader — Brian Kahn — who then lost it all and hid the truth behind fake documents and sham transactions. In this episode, Chip Mahoney breaks down how this echoes the same arrogance that took down Sam Bankman-Fried — and why the future of finance isn’t about trusting fund managers, but verifying everything on-chain. Listen to why Prophecy’s collapse is another warning for the old system — and how verifiable transparency is becoming the new definition of trust. 📡 Signals — 7 Days Free at tokentrust.substack.com Get exclusive market breakdowns, macro indicators, and projects I’m tracking.

Starting October 15, they’re opening access to Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana for every client, including retirees and 401(k) holders. It sounds like progress — but while Wall Street markets Solana to the masses, Ark Invest has been quietly unloading it. Through its ARKK fund, Cathie Wood’s team sold Brera Holdings — a treasury company linked to Solana — four days in a row. That’s not rebalancing — that’s rotation. In this episode, Chip breaks down why Morgan Stanley’s crypto rollout is more about control than conviction, how institutions use retail as the exit liquidity for their own narratives, and why the next wealth wave will favor those who own what’s verifiable before it’s valuable. 📡 Signals — 7 Days Free at tokentrust.substack.com Get exclusive market breakdowns, macro indicators, and projects I’m tracking.
