Markets were shaky again with Fear and Greed rebounding off extreme lows while BTC slid back toward $69K and ETH hovered near $2K. NFTs moved the other way, with Apes up and Pudgies lagging, setting up a quick conversation on why collectible value is built over years, not attention cycles. The show then shifted to crypto art, royalties, and what it takes to rebuild trust and consistent support for artists. Henry from CyberKongz joined to break down Death Star, a strategy token launching with a 99% tax that steps down toward 10% and bakes in intentional game theory. They walked through why Moonbirds is the opening target and how targets rotate via short voting windows, with the experiment designed to be chaotic but transparent.

A long CyberKongz segment breaks down the “Death Star” mechanic. It also digs into why Moonbirds became the target, who benefits, who gets drained, and what changes if more collections get added. From there the show pivots into the market sell-off, tracking the BTC drawdown and bounce through the lens of leverage and positioning. The conversation zooms in on ETF plumbing and IBIT options as part of the volatility story, plus how “margin call” narratives get misread when people do not understand the structure. It closes on a simple takeaway that learning the plumbing matters if you want to navigate these moves with confidence.

Crypto opened in a rough mood, with a quick fear and greed gut check and how the selloff is shaking conviction across majors. The show then locked into the AI narrative shift, from Anthropic vs OpenAI positioning to who controls access and where subscription pricing heads next. From there it turned into enterprise software bloat through the CRM lens, why AI reshuffles spend, and how a new consultant layer forms around implementation and career leverage. Late in the show, it moved back onchain with CyberKongz “Death Star” mechanics, floor pressure games, and how royalties shape incentives, then closed on a VeeFriends update with smoother onboarding via Privy Wallet and CrossMint plus early live commerce experiments with Rarible.
