Today on the show, we will hear the story of Archon (@Archon_0x). You might know Archon from Crypto Twitter, Discord and his work with Venture DAOS, Qi Capital (@Qi_Capital) and 0X Ventures (@0x_Ventures). Archon and his fellow DAO members are always looking to find and fund the next Thorchain, Luna or Olympus DAO but also do not shy back from getting their hands dirty and helping new projects with their services.

Four months ago, @Danku_R launched a YouTube channel. Today, over 11,000 crypto fans have already subscribed to his channel. In his YouTube videos, Danku explains the latest DeFi protocols. He focuses mainly but not exclusively on the Terra Luna ecosystem.

In this episode, we talk about his crypto journey, the opportunities of web 3 and NFTs for content creators. We philosophize about money. And, of course, we talk about Terra Luna. Please enjoy my conversation with Danku_R, who will be guiding us today through the quickly expanding Lunaverse.

Today on the show, I got to interview a local crypto powerhouse, Feyyaz Alingan or @FreshFey, as he is known on Twitter, is the driving force and founder of Blue Alpine Research, a german speaking crypto community and research and education company.

However, you may have heard his voice elsewhere before. Feyyaz is a regular guest on Kevin Rose's Modern Finance podcast. Probably one of the biggest crypto podcasts and one of my favorite.

Feyyaz is a frequent guest and contributor, so when I found out that we live in the same city, I had to get in touch with him and ask him how he did it. In our wide-ranging conversation we talk about how he started investing in crypto, where we are in this cycle, and whether or not you should invest in Shiba Inu.

The DAO was one of the first and most ambitious projects launched on Ethereum. Imagine a fully decentralized fund where tokenholders could invest in exciting new ventures together. It was supposed to be an unhackable pile of money. $250 million worth of Ether, about 16% of the available Ether supply was locked in the DAO. It was the biggest crowdfunding event in history. Then the DAO was hacked. Suddenly every single cent and even the survival of Ethereum was at risk.

Today on the show, we hear the story of Roy alias Zeneca 33. That's how he is more widely known on crypto Twitter. Roy recently turned full-time NFT trader/investor. Before that, he was a professional poker player for 15 years. Roy had so many fascinating stories about NFTs, poker playing, how to stay mentally healthy, and industry insights to share that this episode is a bit longer than usual. Please enjoy my conversation about NFTs, investing, and more with Roy alias Zeneca 33.

Yesterday a historic price correction throughout all cryptocurrencies occurred. Is this the beginning of a new crypto winter? I called up Christian Spahr ( Also on Episode 1), he is running a crypto trading bot, and asked him to share his perspective.

Bringing the promise of blockchain technology to millions and millions of people is the goal and mission of today's guest. Do Kwon is the Co-founder and CEO of Terraform Labs, the company behind the Terra Blockchain. Do and his team have built a flourishing ecosystem on top of Terra. Each of the applications is designed to solve one of the common financial problems of everyday users: Chai Pay is for Payments, Mirror makes it easy to invest in stocks and equities, and Anchor offers a fixed interest savings account.
