Goodnow revolutionaries—

We opened with quick post-travel recovery talk before diving straight into a sea of red candles. Evan, Alex, and Will broke down the Bitcoin gap around 92K, why bounces appear even in heavy pullbacks, and why DCA only works when you actually trust the assets you’re stacking. Monad’s massive raise and Aztec’s weak sale signaled that retail is tired of hype without real product.

The crew reflected on DevConnect and how crypto feels like a global internet city. That led to the big point: crypto is coordination tech, not just money. Which makes it all the more frustrating to see real builders struggle while empty projects pull huge checks. The DappRadar shutdown landed as proof.

When Cloudflare briefly knocked half the internet offline, it sparked a live conversation on central choke points, nodes, and why better onboarding is essential. Then talks of playing the current market with intention—rotating into stables, stacking yield with Lido, Jito, Maple, Morpho, and DeFi Carrot, and securing identity early with ENS or Unstoppable before scammers do. One host shared five rules for this cycle: expect drops after you buy, take profits fast, keep it simple, learn DeFi, and never stay stuck in assets you don’t believe in.

Will is back from Japan, and what a time to return—because everything is cratering. Alex and Will dig into the market meltdown, asking the questions on everyone’s mind: Where’s the bottom, how long will this bearish stretch last, and what’s next for crypto?

Will shares macro insights from his travels, diving into tariff tension and global uncertainty, while Alex breaks down the technical analysis across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and altcoins. Together, they cover ETF updates, short-term catalysts, and how to navigate choppy markets without losing your edge.

They also get practical—discussing DCA strategies, profit-taking discipline, and how to stay grounded when prices test your conviction. If you’re buying at these levels, their message is simple: don’t forget to pay yourself on the way up.

Today on the Rise Up Morning Show, Alex fixes a window and Evan calls from Buenos Aires, where he’s hosting WebZero’s Sub0. They unpack what makes a great crypto event, why Peanut is redefining convenience, and how builders can tell better stories now.

We cover SoFi’s return to crypto and the new tokenized deposit wave from JPMorgan, Coinbase, and Visa—plus what it means for tokenized money and payments. Listener questions include cold storage, display errors, trading bots, and leverage, and we outline two ways to play the Monad presale.

Then it’s ISO20022 hype, XRP talk, and a new segment: Getting Hooked on Krak.

Welcome back to Rise Up Market Watch!

This week, Doug breaks down Bitcoin’s key levels around the 100K mark and what a potential move into the 90s could mean before an ideal bounce. We cover why ETH needs to reclaim 4K to regain momentum, how DeFi tokens like PancakeSwap, Uniswap, and Aerodrome are leading strength, and why the Dollar Index (DXY) might dictate the next big move across markets.

We also highlight gold’s awakening and explore how macro catalysts—from the Senate’s funding bill to shifting sentiment around risk assets—are shaping the next chapter for crypto.

Goodnow revolutionaries–

Evan and Alex kicked off the week with snow talk, Christmas music debates, and a deep dive into crypto security—comparing Ledger vs. Arculus and explaining why Arculus’ battery-free design makes it perfect for long-term cold storage.

They broke down the $128M Balancer hack, explored the rise of AI-assisted exploits, and discussed how centralization still finds its way into “decentralized” systems. The conversation turned to the White Whale vs. MEXC standoff and the broader issues around World Liberty Financial, leading to a reminder of why DeFi remains the real solution.

Evan ran a live staking demo on Jito Network, while Alex covered risk, approvals, and wallet hygiene with tools like Revoke.cash and Phantom. They also unpacked Wilder World’s 90% crash, Polygon’s $25K UGC campaign, and the upcoming DeFi Llama AI data assistant—closing with Evan’s travel plans to DevConnect Buenos Aires and thoughts on Argentina’s crypto adoption.

Goodnow revolutionaries–

Tonight on Rise Up After Dark, we welcomed Andrew Duca, co-founder of Awaken Tax, to share his takes on the market and help us answer your crypto questions.

We talked about how Awaken makes crypto taxes accessible—especially for newcomers—breaking down what tax loss harvesting and wash trading actually mean and how to save hours tracking your transactions. Alex shows Andrew Blockchain Basecamp and shares the trends he’s watching, from prediction markets and capital formation to embedded wallets, plus some hard-earned advice on how to access the best information in crypto.

Finally, we celebrate a victory for The White Whale and raise a slice to food justice, proving once again that purpose and profit don’t have to be enemies.

Welcome back to Rise Up Market Watch!

With Will away, Doug took the helm for a live technical review of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and the broader crypto market—offering a grounded, realistic look at where things stand.

He opened with an analysis of overall market weakness and the DXY (U.S. Dollar Index), which continues to show strength near 100. Doug explained how a strong dollar often pressures “risk-on” assets like crypto and why short-term pullbacks may come before any real relief rally.

Throughout the show, he emphasized patience over prediction—reminding traders that crypto could still dip lower before recovery. In closing, Doug reflected on how this cycle feels different, that the market is tired, and that survival and discipline matter more than catching every move. When the real bottom arrives, he said, it will be obvious. Until then: slow down, reassess, and wait for clarity.

Goodnow revolutionaries–

Today on the Rise Up Morning Show, Evan and Alex underscore that you can win your share of $25,000 (or more) through December by posting Polygon-related content on your socials and how Rise Up can help you do it.

A listener question about $DASH sparked a blast from the past and a conversation on what to do when a token pumps—how to trade the hype even if you don’t want to hold long-term. Then we turned to AI breakthroughs, exploring Sora 2 and CaffeineAI: agents can now build things for you, before asking whether a killer AI app could keep ICP afloat after its 100% rally this week (and why you might still want to stay cautious).

We closed on cold storage—is one device enough?—before riding our dogs and ponies into the sunset for the Circle After Show.
