On this week's episode of MARS, Matthew & Rizzle take it back to the summer of 2020 when the late great Alotta Money became the very first sponsor of the WIP.

That led to a deeper reflection on how everyone who has been minting, collecting, an...

But for real, don't sleep on crypto taxes. If you have no where to start, check out AwakenTax . It's free until March 1st 2024, simple to use, so far very accurate, and noob friendly. Not finacial advice yadda ya...

Before checking out for the Thanksgiving break Matthew & Rizzle recorded a relaxed pod reflecting on the welcome break that many will be able to enjoy before the last sprint of the year begins with Basel and the rest of the December blitz.

To kick off this week's episode, Matthew & Rizzle hit folks across the head (for like the millionth time) reminding everyone about the epic WIP Meetup that took place last Thursday which saw $5k in NFT prizes provided and distributed by an #anonsnail. That re-cap paves the way for a conversation focused on our burgeoning onchain reality using Elon Musk's recent (partially correct) comm...

We love you, Async. Art. Long live Async. Art. This week's episode of the Matthew & Rizzle Show starts off with a somber reflection of Async.

We're back after a brief hiatus (all Rizzle's fault with him heading down to Austin, TX doing important things with Found3r). To kick things off we dive into the reason why we took a week off - said important irl meetup in Austin, TX led by David All and the Found3r team who are focused on the real, human stories of web3. The conversation branches off from there to cover the differences be...
