  • Excellent guests

    I really like this podcast, excellent balanced guests including both bears and bulls. Thus if listen to a few episodes can get a more balanced view of what is happening.

    Much less pure hypo in than other crypto podcasts.

  • Is it really necessary to say the word "right" at the end of every other sentence? What a horrible vocal crutch, right? Unbearable, right? Just make your point and don't ask, "right". I had to stop listening after 5 minutes, right?

  • Better Before MAGA Bias

    The podcast was very informative, and still provides useful information. Unfortunately, it’s become MAGA biased and reflects predominantly right wing views. Crypto is global, not myopic. It’s inclusive of more than the (mostly white) men showcased on the podcast. It would better serve the community to include broader perspectives. Please do.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Figure May Have Found Crypto’s Killer Use Case
Q: How does Figure blend blockchain and AI to drive growth, and what's the retail-facing side?
Figure uses blockchain rails to make processes more efficient and transparent, while AI accelerates underwriting. They also offer retail-facing options like lending on Metamask-style wallets, Open for stock lending, and a stablecoin program (YLDS) backed by treasuries. The institutional marketplace remains the core driver, but retail products and open platform components diversify revenue and liquidity.
Figure May Have Found Crypto’s Killer Use Case
Q: What is Figure and what do we need to know about this business?
Figure started as an E-Log lender and used AI to cut origination costs dramatically, moving from around 11,000 to under 1,000 per loan, and shortened the loan timeline from about 40 days to 5-7 days. The move toward offering infrastructure to others through Figure Connect enables third-party loan origination on their platform, turning Figure into a marketplace rather than a single lender.
Solana Usage Is Exploding... When Will SOL Follow?
Q: How does Jito balance regulatory compliance with continuing to push innovation?
Jito positions itself as a responsible innovator with transparent disclosures, robust engineering culture, and candid communication from leadership, aiming to enable experimentation within a compliant framework that protects users while expanding access to advanced on-chain trading.
Solana Usage Is Exploding... When Will SOL Follow?
Q: How do the JTO and SOL tokens interplay with JTX and Jito's broader products?
Eighty percent of JTX fees go to the DAO; there is a robust treasury tied to tokenomics, and there have been proposals to burn JTO via a buyback and burn program, ensuring ongoing alignment with token holders and a clear path for token-driven incentives.
Solana Usage Is Exploding... When Will SOL Follow?
Q: How does JTX fit into the ecosystem and what makes it stand out from other trading platforms?
JTX is a self-custodial, on-chain trading interface designed to bring high certainty and a trustworthy trading experience to institutions and retail users alike, aligning with the ecosystem through transparent tokenomics and strong governance—ultimately enabling broad asset access on Solana.
