First episode of 2026 and we’re setting the frame for what matters this year: AI is hitting escape velocity, “creation” is getting commoditized, and that changes everything from business models to the metaverse thesis.
We talk through the cultural shift (the 2025 existential turn), why low-sentiment periods are when you should be paying the most attention, and how social media incentives reward overreaction. Then we zoom out to the macro: metals ripping, Bitcoin lag dynamics, and what a “real” 2026 setup could look like.
On the crypto side, we dig into the creator coin debate and why the fan-to-investor switch breaks expectations, using the Nick Shirley Zora post as a live case study. Finally, we share our north star: a world where CoinGecko has an “NAT” tab, non-arbitrary tokens become a real market category, and miners distributing NAT becomes the moment the market can’t ignore.
This week, we see Bitcoin rise to $10,000 after over a year long bear cycle. We discuss what this could mean for the future price of Bitcoin and how this affects the altcoins. Libra has quickly become a source of debate for many in the crypto community, how much of an impact could Libra make? With Mitch, who’s background is in finance, we discuss how Bitcoin has not gone through a recession. Economists have their own view of the crypto space and we dive in and provide our thoughts. Finally stay tuned to the end of the show where we see how robots can fight back!

We talk to our friend Joe and get how he was introduced to cryptocurrency and what his thoughts are on the whole thing. William and Iman introduce him to the concept of Decentraland and what it could bring to the future of NFT’s (Non Fungible Tokens). Joe brings up his thoughts on Quantum Computing and the effects it could have on cryptography, the foundation of all cryptocurrencies. Finally we introduce Basic Attention Token and how it will improve advertising on the internet.

Our guest returns to discuss more of Decentraland! We get his background on game development and we discuss ideas we could build on land we obtain in Decentraland. Ideas that we could build all revolve on passive income and the ability to execute on them will be critical. The conversation evolved into the philosophy behind Artificial Intelligence and Automation. Last, we touch on the $Libra token and how Facebook could take crypto into new recognition levels.

On episode 11, William and Iman interview Matty from DCLBlogger! Matty discusses how he was introduced into the crypto universe and how he got into investing in Decentraland amassing over 40 parcels. We also explore other ways Non Fungible Tokens can be used beyond gaming. Incorporating blockchain technology into gaming does provide a huge opportunity for the industry and we discuss how this could play out. Listen to the very end as we debrief on everything we learned.

On episode 10, William and Iman listen to the Block.one announcement of the Voice, which is a Decentralzied version of twitter. Block.one is the development company behind EOS and they have built a version of twitter where censorship is simply not possible. We break down the implication of immutable communication and what that brings to humanity. We take a journey on the discovery of Decentraland and what it might become and how we can participate. Finally, with the ever growing threat of scammers, we talk about an active one at the moment and what are the red flags so you can avoid falling into their trap.
