Coffee with Captain: Crypto Markets, Products and Culture

Cap opens with EPL fandom and fantasy strategy before turning to an NFT market that looks much healthier than the red token board.

The back half then goes deep on gacha mechanics, including confirmation that someone is already building a version for stocks. Subsc...

Cap opens Monday with a birthday-weekend recap before turning to the burst of activity showing up across NFTs and Robinhood Chain.

Cheezus then walks through Kitty Mining, where early users are already seeing how qui...

Cap opens with a rough Friday reminder that crypto exploits are still piling up while AI voice cloning makes everyday scams much harder to spot.

Cap spends the opening stretch testing a new self-serve sponsor board for Coffee with Captain and explaining how cheaper placements could work without undercutting larger sponsors or confusing the audience about endorsements.

The conversation follows the collection from its i...

Cap is not ready to declare a full comeback, but stronger builders, better inf...

Cap opens by wrapping up the World Cup and teasing the new sports show, but StonkBrokers quickly takes over the morning.

Simple Farmer eventually joins to explain how longtime Clutch holders were carried forw...

Cap opens with a Friday check on the Clarity Act and Visa’s stablecoin push before the show settles into a much bigger question about why NFT marketplaces still feel built for traders instead of collectors. deBay becomes the jumping-off point for comparing Web3 platforms with eBay and imagining what a collector-first marketplace could actually offer. Joey later explains why Pokémon and One Piece c...

After a check-in on Claynosaurz, Cap breaks down INDEX and how th...

The Meebits Football ca...

Cap opens with Otherside’s World Cup outfits and how much easier it has become to buy digital items without feeling like you’re navigating a crypto product.

Later, Claynosaurz announces that three of its micro episodes are now available on P...

Cap opens with Panini Prism packs that have climbed from $25 to nearly $250, making his remaining unopened packs much harder to rip than sell. The conversation then moves to Robinhood Chain, where early volume has attracted memes, NFT launches and plenty of questions about whether the attention will last. Simple Farmer joins to explain why Stonk Brokers is building into that moment, beginning with...

Cap opens with a Friday reality check on Web3 IP, retail distribution and whether NFT brands are actually reaching people outside crypto.

Boris from Concordium then joins t...

Cap opens in migraine recovery mode after yesterday’s short show, then eases back into the Robinhood Chain chaos around Cash Cat, Gremlin Cartel and the World Markets fakeout. Later, Blake, Andrew and Cab from Claynosaurz join for Builder’s Domain and the conversation slows down in the best way. Heeboo comes through as the connective tissue between the new promo packs, Watch and Collect and a bigg...

It’s a messy Wednesday show, but that kind of fits the market right now. Sub...

It’s a messy Tuesday, but the episode still finds its wa...

The conversation turns into a bigger look at NFT brands, holder...

It’s a chaotic but connected episode about where attention is actually showin...

Cap opens with Panini World Cup pack rips and the sudden rush around Panini Blockchain.
