Goodnow, Revolutionaries--

It’s another wild & wonderful night on Rise Up After Dark as Evan and Will take your crypto questions!

We open with a viewer who asks for advice after getting liquidated—and offer some hope & practical advice--how to recover (and how not to repeat it). Then, we do a deep-dive analysis on LINK, explore AMP’s role in the Flexa Network, and compare Bitcoin vs. Gold to see where each might be headed next.

Things get philosophical (and a little messy) as we break down the difference between blockchains and DAGs (and Evan spills an unreasonable amount of water), discuss why November 22 is a date to watch (or not), and float an idea for a Rise Up Halloween Costume Contest (Ghostbusters mentioned!) and even Bill Murray gets a point before it's through!

Like learning with us? Join the community to keep the conversation going: community.rumshq.com--the only thing missing is you!

Welcome back to Market Watch!

It was an altcoin-heavy Monday and Will & Doug hit the charts hard—diving deep into Bitcoin, Ethereum, and everything in between. From BTC and ETH to gold, the S&P, the Russell, Bitcoin dominance, and Total3, the guys map out where we are in the broader cycle and what the charts are saying about where altcoins might be headed next.

Will walks through setups on DOT, ATOM, and PENGU, while Doug adds context on how macro moves are shaping crypto price action. Together they unpack correlations between traditional markets and crypto, highlight key levels to watch, and share what they’re watching for confirmation of the next leg—up or down.

Goodnow revolutionaries–

It’s Web3 101 Wednesday, and today we’re joined by content creator Devin “Skey” Gajewskey, who helps Evan and Alex answer your crypto questions.

We dive into Skey’s crypto story, including becoming the accidental owner of $SOLNIC—the chat gets heated as he answers tough questions, addresses the allegations to share what really happened, and how he's overcoming challenges to deliver value. From there, we hear why Skey is shorting gold (and how he’s doing it). He walks us through the logic behind Fibonacci numbers and how to use Fibonacci retracements to find support and resistance in crypto trading.

The audience jumps in with a big question—has Bitcoin already peaked, or will it top out in 2025 or 2026?—and we wrap with real examples of how to separate hype from potential when evaluating crypto tokens.

Join the conversation, ask your questions, and keep learning with us at community.rumshq.com

Goodnow revolutionaries–

Today, Evan, Alex, and Will welcome Alex Willoughby from Hamblin Crypto Tracing, an analytics firm specializing in investigative solutions to combat crypto crime. Together, we dive deep into the most widespread and devastating scam in crypto: pig butchering—how it works, who’s behind it, and why these complex webs of crime are harder to untangle than most people realize.

Alex W. shares the tools investigators use to trace stolen crypto, recover funds, and identify networks of bad actors, while the team shares practical steps to keep yourself safe and spot red flags before it’s too late.

Will gives his take on the Bitcoin market—will it bounce at $100K? Is he buying? And we wrap the show early so Evan and Alex can represent Rise Up live at Octant’s “Epoch 9” Demo Day. Catch our pitch (and leave a comment to support us!) at the link below.

Goodnow revolutionaries–

Evan and Alex wrap up an awesome week of shows, guests, and community questions with a deep-dive recap of everything we’ve learned together.

We unpack the surprise announcement that Coinbase will list Binance’s BNB token—a bold move with implications for transparency and competition in crypto. We answer your questions about how to read a liquidity heatmap, and walk through a hands-on tutorial of Jupiter, Solana’s leading DEX aggregator—what it is, how to use it, and how to understand where your crypto actually lives.

We also explain the origins of PulseChain, the SEC’s no-action statement on DePIN, and why these developments matter for builders and investors alike. Along the way, there are a few laughs, a few rants, and plenty of lessons.

Catch up on all our past episodes and join our growing community at RUMSHQ.com

Rise Up is powered by partners like The White Whale (@theWhiteWhaleV2 on TikTok & X) who shares strategies and encouragement for those seeking to master the game.

Goodnow revolutionaries–

Tonight, Evan and Will are joined by Isabel Gonzalez, a cofounder of POAP (Proof Of Attendance Protocol)--one of our very favorite crypto inventions.

She shares why these precious digital collectibles are the perfect markers for memorable experiences; how POAPs make it easy for anyone to onboard into crypto (no technical experience required) and gives us a peek at their global airport scavenger hunt connecting travelers across the world. (Also: is it Poh-wop? Poh-app?... Pope?)

We talk about the future of Ethereum, and why a decentralized source of truth matters more than ever. Will responds to the question—will altcoins rise again?—before Evan wraps the night with a practical walkthrough on tokenizing physical assets using concert tickets as an example.

You’ll also get Evan’s liquidity-as-water explainer on Friday’s crash: why every token fell at once, why limit orders didn’t fill, and that mysterious whale who made a splash with a big short.

And even though Alex was off the air celebrating Christina’s birthday, we still got to celebrate her record-breaking points victory live.

Don't forget to join us at community.rumshq.com where the show lives 24/7 and the only thing missing is you!

It’s another Web3 101 Wednesday, and today Evan and Alex tackle your crypto questions—starting with the safety of biometric access and the all-time classic: Which wallet should I use, and how do I choose one for myself?

We break down Bitcoin ATMs, their pros and cons, and Alex calls out the media’s unbalanced coverage of crypto. Evan turns Alex into a piece of potential POAP art, explains ADL (Auto Deleveraging), and Alex gives us a tour of his new Perpetuals trading feature on Blockchain Basecamp.

We also unpack Friday’s collapse, explain auto-deleveraging, and share practical advice for navigating volatile markets with confidence.
