    Can BONK Make Crypto Fun Again? With Nom of BONK
    Jun 23 2026
    Join Alex Tapscott as he decodes the world of crypto with special guest Nom, Core Contributor of BONK. Listen in as they discuss how BONK emerged from the depths of the post-FTX bear market to help revive energy and community across Solana, why culture and fun still matter in an industry increasingly focused on institutions, ETFs, and regulation, and how meme coins can become lasting consumer brands when paired with real products, utility, and community participation. Nom also shares how BONK's early airdrop strategy targeted Solana power users, why crypto's next wave may depend on making apps both useful and weird again, and how BONK is expanding into RWAs, prediction markets, AI, and neo-banking.

    The New Laws of Money with Michael Egorov of Curve Finance
    Jun 17 2026
    Join Alex Tapscott as he decodes the world of crypto with special guest Michael Egorov, Founder of Curve Finance. Listen in as they discuss how Curve pioneered decentralized liquidity infrastructure, the evolution of stablecoins and liquid staking, and how programmable blockchains are enabling entirely new financial systems. Michael shares his journey from physics to crypto entrepreneurship, explaining how his scientific background shaped his approach to building financial protocols from first principles and why automated market makers represent new "laws of physics" for money. The conversation explores Curve's role in powering onchain liquidity, the challenges of impermanent loss, innovations in concentrated liquidity and decentralized lending, and why traditional finance has been slower to adopt DeFi. Alex and Michael also discuss smart contract security, the impact of AI on crypto, the future of autonomous financial systems, and Michael's latest venture, Yield Basis, which aims to solve one of DeFi's biggest challenges.
