MARKET UPDATE: Crypto Is Used To Buy Oil?! FED Meeting, And Economy Ripping
This week, we break down the Financial Times exposé on how Poland lost $230 million trying to buy Venezuelan oil with crypto, and why Avi thinks it's actually the most bullish crypto story in a long time. Jonah explains how oil scams really work from seven years at Vitol, why the minimum ticket size makes street-corner deals impossible, and the $100 million wired for Indonesian coal mines that didn't exist. We also discuss the new oil barons of Venezuela and whether there's room for an individual to get in, treasury yields at highs we haven't seen since 2008, Canada and the EU suddenly getting competitive, why copper is the next meme coin, how Zuckerberg's latest blog post killed the idea of pacing the frontier, why AI doomerism is just the oldest sales pitch in the book, and why Avi believes a rate hike is counterintuitively bullish for Bitcoin and gold.

MARKET UPDATE: Live With GMoney, Inflation Is In, Is This The Crypto Top?
This week, Avi is joined live by GMoney, a trader who ran a desk for over a decade before becoming one of the most recognized collectors and investors in crypto, and who now hosts Full Port. We discuss whether NFTs are ever coming back and why Pokemon cards are just physical NFTs, why the last month has been the most exciting stretch on-chain since DeFi summer, the rise of MemeFi and tokenized stocks, why there is no way to diligence a meme coin, why the PVP mentality would get you kicked off a real trading desk, the Luna trade that worked despite being built on fake data, why both of them give away their thesis publicly, GMoney's framework that AI is a matter of national defense so any hike cycle will be short, why Avi thinks the CDS spreads on hyperscalers are fake, and why getting Americans invested is becoming a national security issue.

MARKET UPDATE: Hunter Biden Scams Us, $INTC Rips, Commodities Onchain, Anthropic's Skynet Risk
This week, Intel rips 20% and Avi's $88 call pays off. We discuss Hunter Biden's $LAPTOP coin and why every political meme coin is explicitly telling you it exists to extract from you, why a bad first experience in crypto poisons the well for everyone, and where the actual trade is if you want to punt it anyway. Jonah then makes the case for putting commodities onchain — jet fuel perps, regional gasoline, Nigerian crude differentials — and why ICE and NYMEX are structurally incapable of launching anything new. We also get into why getting people invested in the market is a national security issue, why you can no longer earn your way out of your income bracket, why it has never been easier to be a quant, why the Bitcoin trade is in peril as flows rotate back to AI, and why Jonah thinks AGI is already here and markets melt up right until Skynet terminates us all.

MARKET UPDATE: Hot Payrolls, Hotter Memecoins, And Se From FOMO Talks The Future Of Trading
This week, in a Friday solo stream, Avi breaks down a hot jobs report that has traders nervous about a September hike, and why crypto is ripping anyway. He's then joined by Se, co-founder of FOMO, for a wide-ranging conversation on the future of trading. We discuss why the entire market is really just attention, how onchain data gave FOMO an edge trading Robinhood, why you couldn't have built a social trading platform two years ago, why trading is inherently social and the stigma around posting positions is disappearing, the $4 million in creator rewards FOMO paid out in two weeks and the vision of a thousand Roaring Kittys, the real drawbacks of trading in public, and why net-new investors are entering markets through meme coins. Avi then closes with why 94.4% of FOMO users have lost money, what MemeFi actually is, why GPT-6 could pull attention back to the AI trade, and why he's constructive on crypto into year-end.

MARKET UPDATE: What Is MemeFi, WAR With Iran, & The Fed Not Backing Down — What You Need To Know
This week, we break down the MemeFi mania taking over Robinhood chain, where meme coins are tying themselves to tokenized stocks and pumping microcaps on the NASDAQ. We discuss what's actually happening with tokens and why hope is the most powerful drug in trading, where the value in all of this actually accrues, and Avi's rules if you're going to gamble anyway. We also get into how Wall Street manufactures fake alpha, survivorship bias and why length of time is the best disinfectant, why Kevin Warsh's jawboning is toothless and there's no rate hike coming, why AI is the new shale and the most deflationary force of our lifetime, a full post-mortem on the NVIDIA earnings trade, and why Iran's leverage over the Strait of Hormuz is degrading by the day.

Why The $30B Asset Manager Franklin Templeton Is Betting Big On Crypto
Recorded live at the Out East Conference, Avi sits down with Seth Ginns, CIO of Franklin Crypto and formerly of CoinFund and Jennison Associates. Seth spent eighteen years in public equities before becoming a seed investor in Coinbase in 2012 and building one of the largest liquid crypto funds in the market. We discuss how the Global Financial Crisis is what pushed him into crypto, why he waited years for institutional custody before launching a fund, why he believes 2026 is the year crypto and traditional finance finally converge, what Tesla and Amazon taught him about betting on founders instead of cash flows, why you can't bet on cash cows in the age of AI, why Franklin Templeton doubled down on crypto in a downturn, why the Clarity Act doesn't actually need to pass for the market to move, and his front-row stories from Lehman's headquarters the day it collapsed.

MARKET UPDATE: Bitcoin Rally, Zcash ETF, Bessent Humbled, NVDA Earnings
This week, with Bitcoin ripping 25% off the lows and NVIDIA earnings on deck, we break down why the market has flipped from fundamentals back to macro. We discuss the lockout rally and the two conditions that turned Avi bullish on Bitcoin and gold, why all roads lead to debasement, whether the Druckenmiller op-ed against Scott Bessent was actually an op, the history of the Bank of England trade and why intervention almost never works, the Zcash ETF launch and why the chart is setting up, why you should never take advice from someone who's never traded, how to pick a megatrend and ride it without getting shaken out, the Costanza rule for taking the other side of panic, the best list of trading rules Jonah has ever received, and why NVIDIA might finally rip on earnings this time.

What It’s Like Running A Billion-Dollar Market-Neutral Fund In Crypto
Recorded live at the Out East Summit, Avi sits down with Evgeny Gokhberg, founder and CIO of Re7 Capital, one of the last market-neutral funds still managing serious capital in crypto. We discuss his decade in TradFi trading emerging markets — shorting Chinese real estate through Australian iron ore, trading Egyptian stocks after the Arab Spring, why he left a comfortable seat to "1000x" his career, the DeFi "aha" moment when crypto finally had real businesses to value, how Re7 earns yield by doing what banks do (market-making and lending, now on tokenized stocks like Nvidia), what a DeFi vault actually is and who's investing in them, why he never touched Luna and why Michael Saylor isn't the same trade, and the real AI risk to DeFi — which has nothing to do with AI breaking smart contracts.
