Goodnow, revolutionaries—

Today’s episode is packed with clarity, transparency, and tools to level up your crypto game.

We start with a listener question: “What’s really happening on Polygon—and are you just hyping it because they sponsor you?” Evan, Alex, and Will respond honestly and openly about how we select partners, why Polygon deserves the spotlight, and how to think critically about influence, alignment, and integrity in the space.

Then we go hands-on:
- A bridge tutorial using app.debridge.finance & staking.polygon.technology
- An explanation of blockchain explorers
- A friendly bet between Evan & Will over Katana pre-staking content
- An explainer on whitelisting, blacklisting, what they actually mean, and friendlier terms to use instead
- The GENIUS Act--our takes on when it will become law and whether it's actually helpful
- And Will’s update on interest rate arbitrage in Switzerland—accent included 🇨🇭

Goodnow, revolutionaries—

Tonight we welcome Brooke Lacey (@brookejlacey on TikTok & X) for a hilarious, wide-ranging, and deeply insightful conversation. We talk about her journey from tech to Bitcoin mining (via Silk Road), why “women in web3” panels are problematic, and how she’s bringing the heat back to content creation with purpose and personality.

Plus:
– Will’s macro rant on why influencers need to stop misrepresenting the Fed's role
– Evan "looking for women" & the portrait of Jeff Goldblum in Will's shower
– And our Top 3 DeFi platform picks (below—you’ll want to write these down for homework!)

Give Brooke a follow and check out DeDevsClub if you’re ready to start building or want to level up your skills as a developer.

Goodnow, revolutionaries—

Today on the Rise Up Morning Show, Young Scrimmage (@youngscrimmage) aka Scrimmy aka Don Scrimmy Jon takes us behind the scenes of PizzaDAO—a decentralized movement with real-world flavor. We talk Bitcoin, pizza toppings, Ninja Turtles, and how you can help take the world’s biggest decentralized pizza party from 420+ cities to 690+ next year 🍕🌍

If you won our pizza giveaway--congrats! 🥳 Send us a DM to claim your prize (and if you didn't win, consider becoming eligible for future giveaways by starting a free premium membership trial 👇 )

After a slice of cold pizza, Will drops a macro update covering U.S. retail sales, unemployment numbers, and the Israel/Iran conflict; shares some technical analysis on Bitcoin dominance and gives updated thoughts on $AERO before riding his dog/pony into the sunset.

Alex & Evan round out the show with the four-year crypto cycle (myth or fact?), some numbers on (still early) institutional adoption, and strategies to make your positions profitable even when they’re down by capitalizing on volatility.
