Good now revolutionaries— Monday morning with Evan and Alex (Will off) and a long-anticipated guest: Jillian Hyshaw — 23-year agricultural attorney, founder of Hyshaw Law and the FARMS resource management system. She walks listeners through what FARMS does, why agricultural estate planning matters (passing land on to the next generation without losing it to bankruptcy or family fights), and where...

Will opens with TA — Bitcoin coiled, oil pushing through $100, Hyperliquid finally selling off (anything below $35 is a good DCA, in his view). He hands off to Alex around 22 minutes. From there it's solo Alex on the new Clarity Act draft. Page 209 to 309 is the part everyone's been waiting for, and it does what TI 020 warned about: passive yield is banned. Banks win — there's now n...

Alex is back with the full Trust Issues lineup — Lindsay and Emily on the line, Alex on the bill. The hook is Emily's viral nine-minute video on Andrew Jackson, Wildcat Banks, and what happens when the United States purposefully debases its currency. The hidden tee-up: Lindsay had asked in the group DM what happens if non-bank financial institutions start issuing 'bonus points' for...

Evan and Alex are back from Consensus in Miami and Evan starts by handing Will a celebratory drink for keeping the lights on while the boys were out at Solana Accelerate. The headline news: Jito announced JTX Trade — a new on-chain trading platform designed to make Solana competitive with Hyperliquid for power traders, with a smoother on-ramp for beginners. Evan also walks through Circle's ea...

Will's flying solo from Maine on Market Watch — the boys are back from Consensus but he hasn't caught up with them yet, so it's just charts and chat. Nothing's new on macro (US/Iran still a 'will they / won't they'), but the daily timeframes have moved. Will starts on Bitcoin — a rejection at the 200-day EMA on May 6 had him worried about a local top, but a stron...

Good now revolutionaries — Evan and Alex are back from a week at Consensus Miami and Solana's Accelerate, with Matthew in the third chair.  Top take: Consensus didn't feel like Consensus this year — Alex's viral tweet thread captured it. Objectively a great conference: smooth, packed, well-run. But the floor was 80% TradFi banks, payment processors, and security auditors. The only r...

RUMS x Arculus Purple Wallet Order Form: https://forms.gle/r9fBTRAw79oSmBWaA Solo Will episode — last one of the week before Evan and Alex return from Consensus Miami. 36 minutes, light news, heavy TA, plus the Circle pre-earnings setup heading into Monday's 8 AM print, an important oil breakdown, and a viewer-driven MicroStrategy chart pull that turned into one of the more interesting setups...

RUMS x Arculus Purple Wallet Order Form: https://forms.gle/r9fBTRAw79oSmBWaA Solo Will episode — 36 minutes, abbreviated show while Evan and Alex are still down at Consensus Miami. Heavy news + TA day, light on sponsor reads. Bear market is over, consolidation phase is live, and the Iran-US negotiation ping-pong is moving oil and Bitcoin in lockstep. Top story: Iran and the US are reportedly neari...

RUMS x Arculus Purple Wallet Order Form: https://forms.gle/r9fBTRAw79oSmBWaA Bootstrapped episode — Will + Matthew while Evan and Alex are at Consensus Miami. Matthew (just-graduated University of Cincinnati intern) returns and runs the show as a thoughtful technical deep-dive: how validity proofs and zero-knowledge proofs could have prevented the recent DeFi exploits — and why most protocols stil...

Bootstrapped, traveling, half-hour-late Market Watch — Will solo from Maine. No Doug, no jingle, no soundboard, no Evan/Alex (still at Consensus Miami). Started with 30 minutes of TikTok-only content with Erica / Perk Insights doing a Bitcoin Vegas recap, then jumped to the big screen for charts. Erica's Bitcoin Vegas read: attendance fine but the crowd was very different — far less grassroot...

May the 4th be with you. Short solo show — 38 minutes — with Will from Maine while Evan and Alex are down at Consensus Miami. Heavy on technical analysis, light on news, with one big macro-thread on the Japanese carry trade. The morning's market mover: Iran claimed a missile strike on US naval ships, US Navy denied, oil spiked ~5%, Bitcoin dipped on the news then rebounded. The US is now esco...

Good now revolutionaries — five hundred. Will, Evan, and Alex on the milestone. Ninety-nine percent celebration, one percent macro data drop, zero percent crypto-Twitter doomposting. A custom POAP only fifty people can claim ("Happy 500" is the secret word — DM us in the community for the mint link). A montage from clippers Pix + Tig of the last hundred episodes. The Bunches (Bananagun)...

Eve of the 500th. Evan, Alex, and Will go long on After Dark — almost two hours of crypto-Twitter dunks, macro, and an ongoing argument about whether Pi Network counts as a real accomplishment. World Liberty Financial just held a token-unlock governance vote: 99.99% yes, 3.8 billion tokens for, 2 million against, quorum hit at 377%. Anyone who voted no has their tokens locked indefinitely. The tea...

Good now revolutionaries— Will is hosting After Dark tonight, so Evan and Alex take the wheel for episode 499 (yes, tomorrow is the big 500). It's a sharp two-hour blend of fundamental teaching and live tools. Alex breaks down what would actually change his mind about Bitcoin (custody concentration at Coinbase, MicroStrategy's hand getting forced, Satoshi's wallet waking up under qu...

Episode 19 of Trust Issues — Alex and Emily on the Tuesday before Consensus Miami. The Bitcoin Vegas conference is happening in parallel, Forbes just dropped a hit piece on Eric Trump's American Bitcoin venture, and the conversation rolls straight into the Ben McKenzie tour, the politics of DeFi United, and what an individual is actually supposed to do about any of it. Alex walks through Amer...

Good now revolutionaries— Will and Evan open Episode 498 with the call that's already playing out: Bitcoin's printing a short-term double top, breaking support, and lining up for a correction into the May 1 full moon. Will already booked his Pengu profits — a 26-27% trade in a few days — and walks through why he's holding back capital for HYPE on the way down. From there: are NFTs r...

Good now revolutionaries—Will and Doug ran the tape on a market caught between a Bitcoin double top, a sneaky bullish bear-trap setup, and an oil chart that won't quit. Crypto closed red while the S&P kept printing all-time highs — the first real divergence in weeks. Earnings season is loud: 40% of the S&P and 6 of 7 FANG report this week. NFTs are quietly back. BAYC up 78%, Pudgy 29%...

Good now revolutionaries— Episode 497 (T-minus 3 to the big 500). Evan and Alex unpack the Ben McKenzie crypto-bashing book tour and where his critique lands and where it doesn't. Spoiler: he's right about World Liberty, USD1, and the conflicts of interest, but he's missing the technical depth to actually swing where it counts. Then a real DeFi moment: DeFi United crosses $237.7M ra...

Good now revolutionaries—Will kicks off solo with Alex Popovich, then Evan catches the back half, and Crypto Crush's Danielle joins from the UK to talk about what you actually do with your money when the DeFi world feels like it's on fire. Danielle opens with her thesis — Circle anywhere below $90 is a buy, she's eyeing $70 or below, and "cash is also a position." From the...

Good now revolutionaries—Emily's back in the co-host chair and we're dissecting the wave of DeFi exploits that just reshaped the conversation around security, governance, and trust. This is not a heat-check episode. This is an autopsy. Evan walks through the Drift exploit — $285M gone via a 2-of-5 multisig with no time lock — and the KelpDAO bridge exploit that used a single DVN validato...

Good now revolutionaries— Solo-host vibes. Will runs the show today while Evan takes the day off under a new trial schedule, with Alex co-riding. Bitcoin is trying to push through initial resistance toward $81–83K, but Alex isn't convinced the fundamentals are driving this — he sees insider-led trade action, a potentially compromised Fed chair in Kevin Warsh, and oil-market theatrics around t...
