Yas has been building in crypto since the 2021 game-fi wave as the co-founder of Galaxy Fight Club. In this candid chat, he unpacks the real engine of today’s market: perps dominance (Hyperliquid), memecoin culture (BONK, Pump.fun), and the points/airdrop economy that pulls traders into coordinated funnels. We dig into why Trump-linked tokens sucked liquidity from alts, whether Binance can defend share, and how Yas is shipping Hype—a clean, fast trading dashboard tailored to this reality. Plus: hard lessons from 2021, what actually onboards users now, and how to play the next phase without becoming exit liquidity.

Torsten Reitz has been building and trading through multiple cycles — and he’s blunt about what works (and what doesn’t). In this candid conversation, he breaks down a rules-based BTC↔stablecoin switching strategy that (in his backtests) outperformed standard DCA by ~833% over five years while keeping roughly 45% in stables. We unpack how the bot spots local tops/bottoms, why DeFi UX still feels clunky, what better wallet design could look like across Solana/EVM, and how market makers actually support smaller exchanges. We also touch on NFTs/Ordinals, real-world assets, and practical ways to onboard the next billion without the hype.

NFTs → Ordinals: experiments that still matter

Onboarding real users (not just speculators)

Whether you’re crypto-curious or deep in the trenches, this one is all signal.

Not financial advice. Backtests aren’t guarantees; do your own research.

Andrei Popa entered crypto in 2017 and lived through the ICO mania, the exchange wars, and now the memecoin meta. In this brutally honest conversation, he breaks down how coins really move today: coordinated raids on X, bot-driven pumps, points/airdrop farming, and why so many traders end up as exit liquidity. We revisit EOS, Civic and Kadena, unpack the Trump token liquidity drain, why Bonk built a real culture, and how “points” (think Hyperliquid) changed launch dynamics. We also talk about Andre’s own experiment “Barfight”—a community battle game that ties streaming with memecoin incentives—and what he learned building in public.

This episode covers:

The memecoin engine: raids, bots, points, airdrops

Why “free money” creates cliffs and brutal post-TGE dumps

Trump token’s liquidity black hole & the Bonk counter-example

ICO lessons (Civic/EOS) and the Kadena near-miss that hurt

Surviving the meta: distribution, liquidity, profit-taking & timing

What actually scales next (beyond hype)

Whether you’re crypto-curious or knee-deep in degen land, this one separates signal from spam.

Nothing here is financial advice. DYOR.
