Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Do Androids Dream of Electric Wallets?
Q: I've been paying attention to Virtuals since the very beginning. Can you give us the two-minute origin story of yourself and the Virtuals Protocol?
I started with autonomous agents in gaming and quickly realized the tech stack could power other autonomous agents—crypto influencers, trading agents, and beyond. We positioned as a platform akin to a 'Spotify for the tech,' enabling agents to launch tokens and trade within a broader ecosystem, which expanded into a vision of a parallel society of agents that can participate in a permissionless economy.
$17 Billion Stolen in One Year: The State of Crypto Crime with Chainalysis
Q: What does impersonation look like and why is that such a big attack vector right now?
Impersonation scams leverage authority or known personal information to seem legitimate, and when enhanced by AI, they become more convincing and effective, driving higher scam success rates and larger losses.
$17 Billion Stolen in One Year: The State of Crypto Crime with Chainalysis
Q: Correct me if I'm wrong, but you guys have estimated that in 2025 almost $17 billion was stolen in crypto scams. Is that true?
Yes, that figure evolved from earlier estimates around $14 billion, and historical trends suggest the number will continue rising as we learn more about wallets tied to scams, with the top-line being north of $17 billion.
Finding Satoshi: Did A New Documentary Finally Unmask Nakamoto?
Q: How did cryptographers influence the documentary's development?
Cryptographers provided trusted, on-record and off-record insights that helped validate the film's direction and expanded its historical scope beyond investment circles to the cryptographic origins of Bitcoin.
Finding Satoshi: Did A New Documentary Finally Unmask Nakamoto?
Q: Why did you start with a finite list of suspects and why is Adam Back not Satoshi?
They began with a curated pool of candidates possessing the right technical background, then used evidence and expert input to narrow down and conclude Adam Back was not Satoshi, illustrating a disciplined investigative approach.
