Good now revolutionaries—

Iran threatened to shut down the Strait of Hormuz overnight, oil jumped 11.4% in 12 hours, and by the time we wrapped it was up 14.5% on the day. Will Watson broke down what that actually means for markets—and why it's not over. We also hit the one-year mark since Liberation Day, and the numbers are grim: beef up 14%, coffee up 21%, oil up 40%, electricity up 36%, consumer prices up 20%, and the national debt is up $2.64 trillion.

On the DeFi side, Drift Protocol got hit for $285 million when two of five multisig keys were compromised. We broke down how it happened, what time locks and circuit breakers actually do (and why more protocols need them), and walked through a live list of the biggest DeFi exploits in history.

Will also made the case for Circle (USDC) stock as his biggest 2026 investment—buy targets $63–$71—and gave his levels for ETH (under $1,700) and HYPE (possibly $15–$20 from peak $60). We also answered the question everyone keeps asking: could Tether or USDC actually depeg? And debunked the token supply argument once and for all—supply doesn't matter without demand. Sort by revenue on DeFi Llama, not by supply cap.

Good now revolutionaries— Tonight on Rise Up After Dark, Evan, Alex, and Will Watson hosted CCS and Zoe — two builders from the XPR/Metallicus ecosystem — for a deep, direct, and occasionally heated conversation about whether this six-year-old blockchain is genuinely building something or quietly doing what a lot of L1s do: building without gaining. Alex brought receipts from Elrond. The conversation covered WebAuth wallet KYC compliance, the Metal X lending platform (21% yield), FedNow and National Credit Union partnerships, FDIC insurance claims live on air, and a thorough debate about what TVL and market cap actually tell you about a protocol's safety.

While that conversation was wrapping up, two other stories were breaking: Trump addressed the nation on the Iran war — "strategic objectives near complete" — and then in the next twenty-five minutes the S&P 500 futures lost $550 billion in market cap as he threatened to strike power plants and revealed the war would last "two to three more weeks." Oh, and oil hit $103/barrel. Will Watson broke down the Drift Protocol exploit live on air — $285 million drained in 31 transactions across 12 minutes, using a fake token seeded with $500 and wash traded for weeks to establish Oracle price history. The attack vector was a compromised Drift admin key. At least 8-9 Solana DeFi protocols were affected.

Also: Alex announced he is going full-time with Rise Up tomorrow — Day 1. Community chart art competition with a $100 USDC prize. A tortoise-themed April Fool's scam. And a genuine quantum computing debate about whether Bitcoin's open-source code base makes it a bigger or smaller target than your bank account.

Good now revolutionaries—

Happy April Fools Day. Will Watson is out (allergies), so Evan and Alex are holding it down solo. No pranks — but plenty to cover. A story circulated this morning claiming Anthropic's Claude source code was accidentally leaked in a product update. Before you panic: April 1st is the worst day to trust a headline. We walk through what actually happened, what wasn't exposed, and how to think about stories like this.

From there: how to detect AI-generated video before it tricks you. Teeth, vocal cadence, Sora watermarks, and one TikTok account worth following (@JeremyFindsAI). Then Evan breaks down the quantum computing FUD that keeps resurfacing — what "quantum resistant" actually means, and why most real-world hacking is dictionary attacks and weak passwords, not NSA supercomputers.

Later: a full read of the Metallicus/XPR situation before tonight's RUAD where two community members (CCS and Prison to Blockchain) are coming on to make the case. Alex has been watching the Twitter response — "you can't reason someone out of something they weren't reasoned into" — and lays out exactly what it would take to change his mind. Plus: Bitcoin price philosophy, top 10 crypto market cap history going back to 2014, what DeFi actually means, Square enabling Bitcoin payments for merchants, and a question from the community: where do you find free academic articles?

Cold storage matters. Our official cold wallet partner is Arculus — start at $99, no software updates required, NFC card design. Check them out at getarculus.com and use code ARCURUMS10 for 10% off. RUMSHQ Premium Members: the community is at community.rumshq.com.

Good now revolutionaries— Today's a milestone: Alex officially wraps his day job and goes full-time on Rise Up starting tomorrow. We open with breaking news that matters if you were caught in the FTX collapse — the fourth creditor payout ($2.2 billion) is hitting today, but at 2022 prices. If you lost a Bitcoin, you're getting reimbursed at a $16,000 valuation. We cover what you need to know, plus a scam warning about fraudulent "FTX claims" emails making the rounds.

From there, Will and Alex dig into Abstract's transaction farming push — the layer two is inflating daily transaction counts with cookie-clicking mini-games, and while it's not unusual in crypto, it's worth understanding when you're evaluating any chain's real adoption signals. We also do a full airdrop farming 101 for TK Slate, including the Jito story where Alex turned $100 into $7,000-$8,000 in a bear market.

Two major quantum computing papers just dropped — from Google and OR Atomic — moving the estimated timeline for ECDSA cracking from 2032 to roughly 2030. Ethereum's response: a live post-quantum roadmap at pq.ethereum.org. Meanwhile, Aave V4 launched yesterday with a new hub-and-spoke liquidity model, and the Metallicus community responded to yesterday's honest questions with screenshots and name-calling — which tells you a lot.

Good now revolutionaries— today's episode is a certified Monday banger. Will Watson rolled in from a Nashville wedding weekend with a smooth brain and a new title (best man), Alex was island-chill despite the early hour, and the blockchain debate that kicked things off ended up being one of the sharpest philosophical conversations RUMS has had in a while.

The main event: is a permissioned blockchain actually a blockchain? Evan drew a hard line — without a permissionless consensus layer, you just have a database. Will pushed back (they're like different types of wine — still wine!), and Alex played Switzerland before landing on Evan's side. The Hyperliquid Jelly Jelly incident — where the platform held a 15-minute validator vote in the middle of the night to reset a market position and protect their own books — was the clearest real-world case study. References: Dr. Nick Almond's "When is a Blockchain Not a Blockchain?" and Omid Malekan's "Permission Networks Are Not Blockchains."

From there: Abstract's transaction-farming games (cookie-clickers and ball-drop machines counted as "transactions" to inflate their on-chain stats), a Quantum Computing update (two papers just dropped — Google and OR Atomic — moving Justin Drake's timeline for potential key-breaking from 2032 to 2030; RSA cracking time down to 9 minutes; Ethereum's post-quantum roadmap at pq.ethereum.org), Aave V4 launching with a hub-and-spoke liquidity model (replacing fragmented V3 pools; still $23B TVL in V3), and a deep-dive skeptical audit of Metallicus/XPR (five years old, under $250K TVL on their main DEX, no quarterly report for 6+ months, XPR rebranded from Proton).

Chart Art Competition pushed to Wednesday at 8PM ET — $100 USDC prize (Will's money). Submit at community.rumshq.com. Protect your private keys — cold storage matters. Arculus is the team's recommended wallet. Use code ARCURUMS10 at getarculus.com.

Good now revolutionaries — the cost to mine a single Bitcoin just hit $70,000, and the miners making it happen are taking home $500 a token. Marathon Digital unloaded over $1 billion in Bitcoin overnight, and three consecutive negative difficulty adjustments just hit the network for the first time since July. Will broke down exactly what that means for price pressure and who is quietly buying the miners themselves — BlackRock already owns 40% of four of the top six.

On the macro front, foreign holdings of U.S. treasuries surged by $34.8 billion in January to $9.3 trillion — the second highest on record — led by Japan ($39.8B) and the UK ($29.3B). Bond rates climbed from 4% to 4.4% in March, mortgage rates hit 7%, and China is battling deflation, a manufacturing slump, and an energy crisis triggered by the Iranian war.

Fannie Mae will now accept crypto-backed mortgages, the White House cleared a rule that could put crypto in your 401k, and a live viewer named Soran got scammed out of real money on Valix.io — a fake exchange found on Telegram. Evan walked through the full pig-butchering playbook so you recognize it before it costs you. Report to ic3.gov. Learn the pattern. Share it.

Arculus is the sponsor of the show. Alex is hosting a live cold wallet clinic on TikTok this Saturday, 2–4pm EST — cracking open the XRP Arculus card from scratch, comparing it to Ledger, and answering cold storage questions live

Good now revolutionaries — Wednesday's episode was all about stablecoins, who's winning the legislative fight over them, and why Circle's stock dropping 20% is actually the buy signal, not the warning sign.

The Senate Banking Committee's version of the Clarity Act just removed your ability to earn interest on stablecoins held on Coinbase or Kraken. The banks lobbied for it, they got it, and the exchanges and Circle still keep all the yield — they just stop sharing it with you. Will broke down the case for buying Circle (CRCL) at the $62–65 gap on the chart. His logic: the Clarity Act makes Circle more profitable, not less. At ~$24.9B market cap against nearly $3B in annual revenue, he thinks it outperforms Bitcoin, ETH, and SOL over the next 5–6 years. Alex walked through why the Clarity Act's language effectively creates a USDC monopoly inside the United States.

They also covered Ernst & Young officially auditing Tether's $184B, Hyperliquid's valuation thesis as the only crypto that's arguably undervalued right now, Bitcoin long signals firing on the 8-hour chart, and the hard macro data: inflation forecast at 5.2% by year end, zero percent odds of a rate cut on Fed Watch through June. Altcoin season as a broad phenomenon isn't coming back — and Alex and Will explained exactly why.

One more thing: Alex announced his last week at his day job. Next Wednesday is day one of Rise Up as his full-time focus. Arculus Wallet sponsors the show — use code ARCURUMSX for 10% off at getarculus.com. Rise Up After Dark is tonight at 8pm EST with Will, Alex, and Nathan.

Good now revolutionaries— 

Matt Wiley is back from ten days in Andalusia, Spain, and he came armed with receipts on Katana. The token launched at roughly 88% below its advertised price of 10¢, the team quietly raised the instant-exit fee from 25–40% to 80% days before launch with no community vote, and TVL figures were inflated via paid Binance and OKX campaigns. Alex added the structural analysis: DeFi protocols die when only one side of the market shows up. Katana's only borrowers are loopers, and when the incentives dry up, the loop breaks. Evan's line: "liquidity begets liquidity" — and without organic demand, the oasis is drying up.

Will Watson flagged continued downside risk in equities — another 5–19% before any floor forms — and says he's a buyer of HyperLiquid below $30. Evan called out what looks like coordinated insider trading: $1.5 billion in S&P 500 futures bought 15 minutes before Trump's Iran announcement, with $192 million in oil futures sold at the same time. Margaret Ryan's resignation from the SEC added to the enforcement concern. 

Matt also completed his Messari 2026 Crypto Thesis homework. The quantum threat framing for Bitcoin's 8% lost supply is a genuine lose-lose: do nothing and risk sell pressure if quantum computing cracks those wallets, or hard fork and undermine Bitcoin's immutability thesis. ETH is best understood right now as high-beta Bitcoin — the deflationary burn thesis hasn't materialized, fee revenue has declined, and it trades primarily as a monetary premium. 

Privacy coins like Zcash get a serious look as a hedge against custodial seizure (24% of Bitcoin supply sits with Coinbase and BlackRock). L2 tokens remain structurally weak, with Robinhood's chain named as the one disruptor that could challenge Base.Plus: how to move assets from Uphold to Arculus across networks, the XRP Tundra $35 reality check, the RUMSHQ Chart Art Competition ($100 USDC, humans only, deadline Monday ET), and Alex's data-backed nuance on AI water usage vs. Netflix streaming.

Good now revolutionaries — the Rise Up Morning Show is back for EP477, Monday March 23. Evan is joined by Will Watson and Alex as the week kicks off with a heavy macro backdrop: Iran and the US are trading contradictory statements about peace talks, oil is pushing past $110/barrel, and the S&P 500 just closed below its 200-day EMA for the first time this cycle. Will puts it plainly: from a pure TA standpoint, stocks are in a bear market.

But before we get into the chaos, Will reveals Ricky — a life-size, 30-pound Pudgy Penguin plush from his Abstract mystery box redemption that now occupies half his screen on YouTube. The show covers Iran/US market whiplash, a Zach xBT scam warning about coordinated war-panic accounts pushing crypto grifts, and a rapid-fire news block: HyperLiquid gets a licensed S&P 500 perp via Trade.xyz, Kraken pauses its IPO plans at a $20B valuation, Kalshi raises $1B+, Base debates launching a native token, and Stellar's RWA market cap crosses $1B with US Bank testing a custom stablecoin on its rails.

Will shares his full macro framework — why inflation expectations at 5.2% and rising oil mean rate cuts likely aren't coming this year — then breaks down his next bull market portfolio (Bitcoin, HyperLiquid, Circle stock, Pangu, and one TBD), walks through his investor checklist for evaluating any crypto asset, and explains why institutions choose Ethereum over everything else when real money is on the line. Q&A covers AI agents on Ethereum (EIP-7702), stablecoins as a first crypto purchase, and where the NFT market stands in 2026 ($1.5B total cap, CryptoPunks at 43% volume dominance).

This episode's cold storage sponsor is Arculus Wallet — use code ARCURUMS10 at getarculus.com for 10% off. And if you want to submit a silly chart art for Will's $100 USDC contest, head to community.rumshq.com — deadline is March 30.

Goodnow revolutionaries—

Jared Blake—head of product at Krak, Kraken's global money app—joins the show to explain why a better bank shouldn't require crypto know-how. 

The conversation covers what makes Krak genuinely different from Venmo and Zelle. Jared walks through onboarding step by step, and answers audience questions about how it works. He also shares his OpenClaw setup: an agent that scrapes his Substack and X bookmarks and turns them into a daily podcast he listens to while exercising.

Then: oil facilities responsible for 20% of global supply were struck overnight. Will flags oil heading toward $180 a barrel, Moody's putting US recession odds at 49%, and what that means for Bitcoin and stocks. Alex closes with a physical mail scam—a fake Trezor "authentication check" letter complete with a tamper-proof sticker, his home address from an old data breach, and a March 26 deadline designed to spook you into scanning a QR code. Don't scan it. Trezor has confirmed none of this is real.
