Goodnow, revolutionaries—

Today we welcome artist Joe Mangrum to the show! Joe’s ephemeral sand paintings have taken him across the globe—including to Sesame Street—and for several years he's brought the same creative spirit onchain. We dive into his journey from physical art to NFTs, the story behind his Bored Ape alter ego “Chef Pancho Poppins,” and how he’s using digital tools to enhance provenance and bridge the gap between physical and digital work.

Joe shares practical tools for artists exploring onchain creativity, like Manifold Studio and Glyph—and tells us how you can support his upcoming book release with crypto or fiat.

In the second half of the show, Will gives an update on tariffs, Alex shares his frustration over the U.S. administration's approach to foreign policy (and the new TikTok app), and the team breaks down the movement of a dormant whale wallet that sent 10,000 BTC in one transaction.

Don’t forget: Rise Up: Market Watch goes live TONIGHT at 7pm CT / 12am UTC—join Will & Doug for clear, practical insights on macro trends, technical analysis, and how big-picture forces impact crypto.
