    Send us a text

    Goodnow revolutionaries--

    Today on the Rise Up Morning Show, Evan and Will dive into the SEC’s game-changing announcement of generic listing standards, a move that will fast-track approvals for crypto ETPs. We look at the fallout from yesterday’s rate cuts and the excitement building for cuts to come.

    Evan and Will debate whether the crypto four-year cycle still exists, and Will lays out his seven-year cycle theory with a helpful illustration from our friend of the show, Yaboyskyi.

    Finally, Will gives away Pietr the Pudgy Penguin!

  • Who’s Winning the Rate Cut Rally? Crypto vs. Stocks, Dollar vs. Euro, & Altcoin Charts| Ep 10📈🤑
    Sep 18 2025

    Send us a text

    Welcome back to Rise Up Market Watch!

    On tonight's episode, Will and Doug kick things off with the biggest headline of the week: the Base token announcement. We break down why it frustrates us, what it signals about incentives, and how it could affect the broader ecosystem.

    From there, we turn to the markets—venting a little about how crypto (and Bitcoin in particular) have lagged compared to stocks, gold, and silver, which are all ripping ahead of rate cut decisions. We pull up charts for the S&P 500, BTC, gold, and silver before unpacking why the U.S. dollar is weakening and why the pound and euro look like stronger cash positions right now.

    Finally, we run through altcoin charts including AVALANCHE, PENGU, MORPHO, BITTENSOR, ZEBEC, and more—laying out what we’re seeing for near-term moves and longer-term setups.

  • "My Inner Child Is $SOL": Why Rate Cuts Demand Caution & the Consumer Debate in Crypto | Ep 373
    Sep 17 2025

    Send us a text

    Goodnow revolutionaries--

    Today Evan, Will, and Doug look ahead to the Fed’s expected rate cuts and discuss how to trade the aftermath. Doug explains why we’re urging caution, while Will and Evan add context on how they're moving & what might still surprise markets.

    Once again, we revisit $SOL and explore its future prospects in a world where Base launches its own token. Will and Doug debate what it really means to be a “consumer” in crypto and the guys the tokens & ecosystems they think are most likely to onboard the next wave of users (what're your picks?).

    PLUS Will also announces a Pudgy Penguins giveaway (details below), Evan explains how big buyers get XRP (and other tokens) at a discount, and everyone shares insights to help you stay grounded when speculation runs hot.

  • Base Token? Why We’re Bearish on Jesse Pollak's Proposal + Macro Updates & Web3 Gaming | Ep 372
    Sep 16 2025

    Send us a text

    Goodnow revolutionaries–

    On today’s Rise Up Morning Show, Evan and Will dig into Jesse Pollak’s Basecamp announcement that Base is considering launching a token. We break down why this move makes us bearish on the chain and how it misaligns incentives for Base and Ethereum.

    Will covers macro with updates on rate cuts, the triple witching phenomenon, and today's numbers and the guys answer your crypto questions about why Web3 gaming can be better for users and builders.

    We close with a new partnership announcement to make the show even better for everyone!

  • Evan's Alma Mater, Will's Conference Recap, Doug’s Rapid-Charting, & Alex on the Move | Ep 371
    Sep 15 2025

    Goodnow revolutionaries–

    Today Evan returns to college in search of WiFi. He and Will are joined by Doug while Alex is (finally) moving into his new home this week, even if it kills him ("I will absolutely die on this hill").

    We start with prospects for Solana and the broader market in the week ahead as rate cuts loom. Will shares his takeaways from Boston Blockchain Week, and we go through the headlines: Tether’s new US-focused USAT stablecoin, Hyperliquid’s new stablecoin provider, the $YU exploit, and Gemini’s IPO.

    From there, we dive into memecoin culture, the $PUMP token, and pump.fun’s latest move—streaming. Can you actually make money streaming on pump.fun? Finally, Doug rounds out the show with some serious, rapid-fire charting on HBAR, AVAX, LINK, ZEBEC, MORPHO, PENGU, OVPP, TURBO, TAO, and more.

  • Recipient of the Dust: Vibecoding $SOL Targets + Bitcoin as an Asset, Crypto Band Names, Our Favorite Projects, and Evan Breaks a Record | Ep 046🍻🌗
    Sep 11 2025

    Send us a text

    Goodnow revolutionaries--

    Tonight on Rise Up After Dark, Evan & Alex lay out their Solana price targets and dive into the concept of vibecoding—what it is, how it works, and how you can use it to become a smarter trader. We break down why Bitcoin is an asset in simple terms and how you can use it to acquire cash and grow your wealth.

    We also dissect one of the most common spam attacks in crypto, dusting (or as we call it now, “sprinkling”), and show you how to protect yourself. Then we spotlight useful NFTs, projects we actually love (which---surprise--happen to be run by our friends and past guests), and “mint” three new crypto band names live on air. To top it off, Evan record in the game of dings and gwumps.

  • Web3 101 w/Matthew Wiley: DeFi Basics, Bridging Risks, & Explaining Crypto to Your Parents | Ep 369
    Sep 10 2025

    Send us a text

    Goodnow revolutionaries–

    It’s Web3 101 Wednesday and today we're joined by our friend and community member Matthew Wiley. Matthew is a fourth-year business analytics and finance major navigating the world of crypto and DeFi. Together we talk about the value of sponsoring helpful crypto content; how younger people can explain crypto to their parents, grandparents, friends, and colleagues; and the practical value of learning to read a blockchain explorer.

    We also cover DeFi basics: the risks and rewards of bridging assets across networks (and Matthew's perfect analogy 👨‍🍳😚👌) and answer questions from the audience.

    Matthew's story reminds us that we're all early to the crypto movement and the future is bright.
