Goodnow, revolutionaries—

Bitcoin is flirting with new all-time highs, and the vibes are bullish.

This morning, we:
- Break down the Bitcoin & Ethereum liquidation heatmaps and explain how smart traders use them to anticipate market moves
- Unpack the U.S. jobs report (good news—no stagflation in sight!)

Then, fan favorite William Quigley (co-founder of Tether & Wax, and yes, possibly a DJ) returns to drop some remixed investor wisdom:

– The differences between retail, hedge fund, and venture investing (and the edge retail investors have that VCs don’t)
– The two types of startups that should raise money and those who shouldn’t
– His take on Rise Up’s business model and how he’d grow the show if he were us
– Tactical tips from decades of success in crypto, venture, and beyond

It’s the kind of episode where you leave smarter than you came in, and maybe a little more bullish too.

Goodnow, revolutionaries—

Tonight was a true multi-chain moment on Rise Up After Dark, with two sharp builders from some of crypto’s most prominent ecosystems:

🔹 Greg Nazario – co-founder and Head of DevRel at Aptos
🔶 Nill – growth & BD at Polygon

We gave each guest the floor to pitch the other on what their team is building—then encouraged their questions, suggestions, good jokes, words of wisdom, & a little friendly TPS (transactions per second) smack talk.

Also in this episode:
– A helpful breakdown of TVL (total value locked) vs. productive TVL and how to tell the difference
– Answers to your questions about stablecoin competition
–Greg's suggestions for how web developers can start building on blockchain (including an Aptos tooling guide for how to build your first dApp)
– Nill explains Katana token unlock timelines and how to earn yield while waiting
– A shared call for interoperability and a more inclusive internet

And before the night ends, Evan and Alex react live to Remix’s (formerly Farcade’s) brand-new rebrand trailer—and it’s 🔥

💸 Congrats to tonight’s prize winners: Cobie & Ginny! DM us or open a help ticket in Discord to claim yours.

Goodnow, revolutionaries—

Today we take you deep inside what at least one person calls the “Big Beautiful Bill”—a major piece of U.S. legislation with massive implications for the deficit and the future of financial governance in the U.S.

We break down:
– What’s actually in the bill (and what’s not)
– Why it passed the Senate, where it goes next
– Whether this is a real step forward—or just more political theater

Then, we zoom out for a bigger conversation to ask what’s broken about U.S. governance? Can crypto offer a better way? And what might a new system look like?

Also in this episode:
– Will unveils plans for the new Rise Up Media Instagram (rebranding his personal account in the name of service!)
– And a macro bombshell: Is the Fed finally poised to cut rates? We unpack what it means—and define stagflation in plain English.
