Mark Moss, Bitcoin strategist and investor, reveals how to build wealth with Bitcoin without gambling or luck.
After losing everything in 2008, he shares why the fiat system keeps you poor and how Bitcoin changes your relationship with money forever.
Mark breaks down his projections for Bitcoin reaching $1 million by 2030 and $45 million by 2050, explains why your money loses 10-15% annually (not the 2% they claim), and why 75% of lottery winners go bankrupt.

Chris Larsen, co-founder of @Ripple Labs, reveals how his team built crypto solutions that banks actually trust - while the rest of the industry was declaring war on traditional finance.
Instead of disrupting banks, Chris took the opposite approach: building blockchain technology specifically for financial institutions. He explains the compliance work, regulatory relationships, and strategic decisions that transformed Ripple into a $15 billion company trusted by major banks worldwide.

From losing everything in 2008 to turning down a $1 billion acquisition offer, Cyrus shares his controversial takes on why real estate keeps people poor, how crypto is the only way to escape social class limitations, and why the current opportunity won't last forever.

Evan left his position at Facebook at age 50 to solve what the entire crypto industry couldn't: building technology that actually works.
After leading Facebook's $3 billion Libra project that got shut down, Evan realized every crypto attempt has "completely, repeatedly failed" and fallen back to centralization. So he started Mysten Labs with 4 co-founders to build Sui - what crypto was always supposed to be.

In this raw and unfiltered conversation, Ran Neuner - CEO of Onchain Capital and the face behind @CryptoBanterGroup and @CryptoBanterTV (2M+ subscribers) - opens up like never before.
He shares how losing $100M in four days changed his perspective on crypto, risk, and success.
But this isn't just about money - it's about obsession, winning, failure, and the mindset that builds champions.
This is not the Ran Neuner you see on Crypto Banter - this is the real, unfiltered story behind the success, failures, and everything in between.
Watch now and learn from one of the most intense minds in crypto.

Luca Netz is a serial entrepreneur and the owner and CEO of Pudgy Penguins, the leading Web3 IP Company. After a tough childhood and 10 years of homelessness, Luca dropped out of high school at 16 to "go make some money." He started his first company at 18 and, just one year later, was raking in millions from his dropshipping empire, leveraging influencers on Instagram.
In 2022, Luca acquired Pudgy Penguins for $2.5M and completely turned the brand around by applying his "secret playbook"—just like he did with Von Dutch a few years before that, eventually bringing the struggling vintage brand to $100M in annual revenue in less than 1 year!
After just a year at the helm of the Pudgy Penguins brand, the Luca magic has struck again: he has not only managed to get 2,000 Walmart stores to sell Pudgy toys, but he has also created the ultimate community of Web3 builders.
In this episode, we talk about Luca's blueprint for entrepreneurial success, imposter syndrome, how complacency leads to failure, his Web3 "aha" moment, people-pleasing in business, and of course, his mission with Pudgy Penguins: to become the number one NFT project in the world, the face of Web3, and one of the world's most beloved characters and hot IP brands.

Magnus Grimeland is a husband, father, Ironman triathlete, and the Founder of Antler, one of the most active VCs globally. Before building Antler from scratch, Magnus co-founded Zalora, the leading online fashion store in Asia.
In this episode, Magnus recounts how losing a family member at the age of 7 made him question the meaning of life at a very young age and gave him the drive and ambition to achieve great things in life: from receiving a scholarship for college, to studying alongside Mark Zuckerberg and Eduardo Saverin at Harvard, to becoming a partner at McKinsey, to building the leading online fashion store in Asia, to now being world's day zero investor supporting founders globally in the hardest and most creative moment of their entrepreneurial journey - the inception.
We also talk about how to find one's life purpose early, happiness, having kids at a young age, mental health, how to develop judgment, and the concept of "frontloading" which is key for entrepreneurs to achieve success.

Irene Zhao is a Chinese Model and Influencer, and one of the most powerful women in crypto. In 2022, her NFT collection 'Irene Dao' generated over $5.5 million within 10 days of launch.

In this episode, Irene reveals her strategy to amass a huge online fan base; living a double life as a commodity trader in the real world while presenting herself as a "cute, school girl" on her Instagram. She then talks about pivoting out of Instagram influencing "looks" to join Crypto Twitter "brains" where she became a personality in a matter of weeks.
We end up talking about the entrepreneurship rollercoaster, what she is trying to build with SoCol but also romantic relationship dynamics, boss babes, mental health, and much more.

In this super exciting episode, the Master of stablecoins explains us what stablecoins are, why they are useful and why they are the killer app in the crypto space.
Terraform Labs is the company behind the Terra Ecosystem, one of the most innovative blockchain ecosystems, centered around its main product - a decentralized algorithmic stablecoin that is changing how people and companies interact with money, enabling them amongst others to transact 24/7 and earn 20% on their USD deposits. The Terra stablecoin called UST is quickly becoming a reference in the stablecoin market as regulations are getting stricter and tighter around the more centralized versions of stablecoins such as USDC or USDT.

In this epsiode, the Yield Labs team hosts Matt Cantieri who is the General Manager of Anchor Protocol, a decentralized finance savings protocol that enables depositors to earn 20% (!!) interests on their USD or about 200x more than in the average bank account.
We dive deep into how the protocol works, the risks, how it is possible to earn that much interest in a sustainable way and also talk about the project tokenomics (i.e. the token economics).
A must listen/watch for anyone new into crypto.

In this exciting episode, Kevin, co-founder of Yield Labs, hosts Loic Le Meur, a french entrepreneur, to dive into the early blogging and mobile days (web2) and draw similarities with the new internet era - blockchains. The second part of this podcast is a deep dive into the REAL stuff: happiness and spirituality, a path that Loic chose to pursue a few years ago after realizing that there is no such thing as "enough" in the entrepreneurship and money world and that the answer to a happy, fulfilling life therefore must come from somewhere else.
Loic Le Meur is a serial entrepreneur who built and sold multiple internet businesses. He also invested in 100+ startups and was an early investor in some of the biggest internet companies such as Linkedin. A few years ago, Loic went « deep down the spirituality rabbit hole » and since then spends a few months every year in the Amazon forest to learn about ancient practices with amazon tribes, a life changing experience for him.
Loic is a huge blockchain believer and has 1/3rd of his wealth invested into Bitcoin, Ethereum and Terra (Luna).
