On our first episode of Season 7, we’re speaking with DeFi Beats aka Johnny Gabriele about how to not get rekt in crypto, why WAGMI is not dead, and his best pieces of advice for newcomers to the crypto and blockchain space.
DeFi Beats is an advisor, investor, DeFi power user, good listener, and self admittedly terrible speller.
He initially had his sights set on getting his PhD and becoming a professor, but when that plan fell through, he found himself in a unique job as part management consultant, part podcaster, and part therapist where he helped numerous people find solutions to problems they were facing across a wide spectrum of areas - from air conditioning to figure skating to life threatening medical conditions.
Today, he has rechanneled his eagerness to help into helping onboard people to the blockchain space and saving people from getting rekt by their inner degenerate. He’s currently building out an AI chatbot called The Crypto Professor that’s designed to help newcomers learn about crypto and stay safe while exploring the space.

On this episode of Rehash, we’re speaking with Ravi Bakhai, founder of Hypeshot, about why livestreaming is a compelling medium across so many industries, what a crypto-enabled live streaming platform unlocks for creators, and future livestreaming trends we can expect to see in the next five years.
Even though livestreaming has technically been around since the early 1990s, with the very first livestream taking place in 1993 when a few employees from Xerox PARC in California decided to livestream their buddies’ band performance, livestreaming didn’t really pick up steam until the late 2000s or early 2010s when YouTube launched livestreaming and Twitch was born.
Since then, livestreaming has seen a slow but steady growth, primarily in niche communities. More recently, however, livestreaming has been seeping into a wider array of industries and creator types. Now we’re not just seeing gamers streaming on Twitch, but we’re also seeing artists, musicians, and other types of creators in the streaming scene. On the opposite end of that spectrum, we’re seeing big corporations building livestreaming into their corporate marketing and communications strategies as well.
Ravi also shares the latest on Hypeshot, the crypto-enabled live streaming platform he’s building, as well as how some of his favorite streamers have been using the crypto elements there. Finally, we riff on some serious and some not so serious use cases we’d like to see on Hypeshot in the future.

On this episode of Rehash, we speak with Magenta Ceiba, Principal Systems Architect at Bloom Network, about how we can use blockchain tech to empower local communities in their grassroots ecological efforts, where Magenta sees the future of regenerative finance going, and how to best organize communities in a decentralized yet still well managed and organized way.
Bloom Network is a community network that helps people find and participate in grassroots climate and social repair wherever they live around the world. They’ve implemented various aspects of blockchain technology and web3 concepts to fund their network and their people through retroactive funding mechanisms and community tokens, and they take a balanced approach to governance that any DAO or online community can learn from.
Magenta mentions a number of projects and resources in this episode, and I’ve tried to link all of them in the show notes, so if you’re interested in learning more about the projects she mentions in this episode or are looking for reputable nonprofit organizations that support various ecological causes you care about, be sure to check out the links in the show notes or on our Mirror or Substack pages at rehash.mirror.xyz and rehashweb3.substack.com.

On this episode of Rehash, we speak with Luca Netz, CEO of Pudgy Penguins, about how to take crypto to the mainstream, strategies for building for longevity, and Luca shares some alpha on the biggest mistake crypto founders make that results in the demise of their project.
Pudgy Penguins is an NFT pfp project on Ethereum that was launched in July 2021 and purchased by Luca in April 2022 for 750 ETH, or around $2.5M USD.
Pudgy Penguins is really the only NFT project to have reached the mainstream in any meaningful way, with their figurines and plushies now being sold in Walmart stores across the country.
They’ll also be debuting a couple of new things they’ve been working on soon, namely Overpass and Pudgy World, which Luca shares more about in this episode.
If you’re a Pudgy Penguins holder, you will love this episode, and if you work in crypto in any capacity, you’ll be able to learn something new from Luca that you can put into practice straight away to help you find success in this industry.

On this episode of Rehash, we speak with Ethereum OG, Hudson Jameson, about his experiences and learnings from actively working in the Ethereum ecosystem since 2015, as well as his personal story of experiencing burnout and his journey with mental health.
Hudson is a developer who first learned about Bitcoin in 2011 and went on to create and launch the blockchain program at USAA in 2014 and join the Ethereum Foundation in 2016, where he worked until 2021. In 2019 while working at the Ethereum Foundation, Hudson also co-founded the Ethereum Cat Herders, an educational platform and research hub that supports the Ethereum Network.
In this episode, we start off by talking about some of Hudson’s learnings from his time in Ethereum, including what he believes to have been the most pivotal moment in Ethereum history, how the community and culture around Ethereum has changed since 2015, and the biggest learnings from mistakes made during Ethereum’s time that other blockchains or crypto projects can learn from today.
We then get into his takes on the current state of Ethereum and L2s, how he sees L2s interacting in the future, and a new whistleblowing use case for blockchain tech that he would love to see get built out.
Finally, we wrap up with a conversation on dealing with burnout in crypto as Hudson shares his own burnout story that landed him in a mental hospital twice and inspired him to get much more involved in his own mental health journey. It’s a story that is all too relatable to those working in crypto, and Hudson shares his honest and raw thoughts on what we can do to protect our mental health while working in crypto, as well as what institutions and employers can do to support individuals.

On this episode of Rehash, we’re speaking with María Paula Fernández, co-founder of JPG and a true OG in the NFT space, about living through another bear market, how to be a good web3 art curator, and new blockchain art projects that should be on your radar.
We catch up on what MP's been up to since our last recording together and how she’s been feeling amidst yet another crypto bear market - and notably one that feels different from previous bear markets she’s lived through. Even though overall sentiments are a bit low, I can always rely on Maria to bring some humor into the mix, as we come to the shocking realization that Michael Lewis is in fact the new Tom Cruise (tune into this episode and you’ll hear what I mean).
We then dive deep into the world of art curation and what the role of a curator is, especially in the web3 world. MP believes a good web3 curator is a good storyteller and a good educator, and we look at a new JPG exhibit, Generative Art Beyond the Algorithm, as an example of good curation.
