Zack Guzman, founder of

and host of charts crypto’s maturation from speculative fad to Wall Street–scaled asset, while warning that its new plumbing may import old risks. He ties Bitcoin’s behavior to rate cycles and the four-year halving, notes record ETF inflows and tighter gold-like dynamics, and flags the latest shock to the system, stablecoin depegs, that helped send from ~$125,000 to ~$105,000 in a weekend.

💥 Guzman is candid about systemic worries: private stablecoin giants amassing U.S. debt, the post-“Genius Act” rules that make bank-grade stablecoins look like money-market funds, and the prospect that traditional finance’s leverage and bailout culture could collide with a technology born to escape both. He also raises alarms about political capture, arguing that high-profile launches and policy moves suggest crypto is being co-opted by power, not merely embraced.

We cover:

💵 Why Bitcoin may still face another 60–80% correction — and what history says about the next cycle

💵 The hidden risks behind stablecoins like Tether & USDC — and how they now hold more U.S. debt than Germany

💵 How Wall Street and politics are co-opting crypto, from BlackRock’s ETF empire to Trump’s new stablecoin

💵 Why AI + Web3 could redefine media, creator ownership, and the “attention economy”

💵 How Guzman’s Coinage is pioneering community-owned media through tokenization and co-ops

Guzman breaks down the collision of crypto, Wall Street, and AI — and what it means for investors, creators, and the future of ownership.
