Goodnow, revolutionaries!—

Tonight on Rise Up After Dark, our friend Aishwary Gupta gets immortalized on the soundboard ("... Correct.") and we are joined once again by one of our favorites: the co-founder of Tether, WAX, aspiring DJ, and venture capitalist extraordinaire--William Quigley!

We kick things off with a review of the Trump x Elon beef, then dive into Circle’s IPO news, its surprising valuation, and why William thinks it could go higher. But the main course of the evening is stablecoins: what makes a good one, why most fail, and how to practice making your own (seriously—your homework is to try making your own using MakerDAO and DAI).

William shares lessons from his early days in venture capital, why LIBRA might've been Facebook's biggest flop, and what makes a pitch actually investable. 

It’s a rare, funny, candid, and wildly insightful hang with a guy who helped start it all—and is prepping to launch an epic "DJ USDT" sidequest (We're totally kidding... are we?).
