In Part 3 of “Vibes”, we dive deep into the world of AI and Vibe Coding—a possibly genius, possibly unhinged way to let machines write our code while we vibe on the sidelines. We explore how AI is hallucinating its way into our hearts, how quickly it’s gotten terrifyingly good, and whether it’s here to help us or quietly replace us. From empowering developers (and maybe non-developers?) to coding up NUTs and auto-charging crypto tokens, we’re asking the big questions: are we evolving… or outsourcing our brains to the bots? Either way, we’re vibing with it.

In Part 2 of “Vibes”, we unpack the tragic tale of Kio’s failed crypto night school (great idea, zero students), explore how financial “experts” have been replaced by overly confident YouTubers, and descend into the sneaky world of MEV bots—those shady little blockchain gremlins that somehow know exactly where your transactions are hiding. We ask the big questions: can they be stopped, or are we just living in their world now? Plus, we get real about crypto wallet mishaps—was it a hack, or did you just fat-finger the address again? And how does protection in crypto compare to TradFi? (Spoiler: it doesn’t). If you’ve ever made a mistake and prayed a smart contract would understand, this episode’s for you.

In Part 1 of “Vibes”, we dive into Trump’s tariff fallout, the emotional rollercoaster of buying (or not buying) the dip, and whether insider trading hits different when it comes from the Oval Office. We question if anonymous blockchains are liberating or just really convenient for shady people, explore whether crypto is finally becoming a legit store of value, and ask why decentralised data feels like trying to assemble IKEA furniture with no instructions. We also wonder what exactly the FCA is doing with crypto (besides hoping for the best), whether the UK has a stablecoin or just a stable dream, and unravel the mystery of crypto staking—is it passive income or passive confusion? Expect chaos, curiosity, and just enough financial angst to make you laugh, cry, and maybe finally check your wallet. Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and prepare yourself for more vibes in Part 2.

In this episode of The C Word, titled “Vibes”, we ride the rollercoaster of crypto, AI, and financial chaos with a healthy dose of skepticism and side-eye. We kick things off with Trump’s tariff fallout and the drama of buying the dip (or failing to), before diving into shady insider trading, anonymous blockchains, and the UK's maybe-imaginary stablecoin. Kio recounts the glorious flop that was his crypto night school, we unpack the rise of MEV bots (a.k.a. blockchain’s gremlins), and wonder if your wallet got hacked or if you just pressed the wrong button. Then it’s all about Vibe Coding—what it is, how it works, and whether it’s the beginning of a beautiful human-machine partnership or the end of your job. If you’ve ever asked yourself “Is this progress or just vibes?”—this one’s for you.

Welcome back to "The C Word", your monthly dose of crypto chaos and comedic commentary! This month, we tackled the epic $1.5 billion ByBit heist, the rather effective "Monkey Wrench" hack, and the surprisingly effective world of low-tech heists. We revisited the classic that is the Lazarus Sony hack, pondered the existential dread of the last Bitcoin being mined, power-ranked the blockchain titans, attempted to demystify Layer 2 blockchains, speculated on why banks are still stuck in the analog age, and finally, debated whether stablecoins are just regular money in a digital disguise. Join us for a whirlwind tour of the crypto-verse, where fortunes are made and lost, and the only constant is the "C" word!

From clunky crypto exchanges to the shadowy origins of Bitcoin, we dive headfirst into the wild world of digital finance. We explore the driving force of human greed, the epic clash of TradFi vs. DeFi, and the sting of all-time-high FOMO. Ever wondered how a blockchain actually works, or if crypto has its own debt crisis? We've got you covered, from the OHM project and Decentraland's virtual world to the pump and dump schemes and the magic of smart contracts. We even tackle KYC hurdles, the Trump inauguration's ripple effects, the hunt for Satoshi, and the never-ending James Howells hard drive saga. Plus, we discuss Ross Ulbricht's fate, the Bitcoin mining doomsday, bizarre YouTube comments, and the ultimate question: is crypto too good to be true? Spoiler alert: probably.
