  • Ep. 194 Can Crypto Actually Power AI? Inside 0G Labs’ $0G Bet on Decentralized AI

    AI is becoming more powerful but it's also becoming increasingly controlled by a handful of companies.

    In this episode, we sit down with Michael Heinrich, co-founder of 0G Labs, to explore whether crypto can actually provide an alternative infrastructure for the AI economy.

    We get into why decentralized AI needs blockchain at all, and where 0G fits alongside projects like Bittensor, Gensyn, Akash, and decentralized storage and data networks.

    We also dig into the questions that matter for crypto investors: What gives the $0G token value? Where does value accrue if the network succeeds? And can decentralized AI compete with centralized giants like OpenAI and Google?

  • Ep. 192 How Kula Is Unlocking Global Liquidity With Tokenization

    In this episode of the Crypto Mavericks podcast, Chris Turner, co-founder of Kula, explains how Kula is using real-world asset tokenization to unlock liquidity, improve governance, and give local communities a real stake in projects that affect them. He shares how his background in international development exposed him to waste, broken incentive structures, and failed grassroots impact, which eventually led him to blockchain as a better way to track capital, verify outcomes, and build accountability. The conversation covers Kula’s governance token, community participation, impact dashboards, tokenized real-world assets, dead capital, interoperable standards, and why Kula proposed new Ethereum standards to help make tokenized assets legally transferable and more useful in secondary markets. Chris also explains why tokenization is coming of age, how institutions are getting more comfortable with compliance baked into smart contracts, and why the future of global finance may involve trillions of dollars in assets moving on-chain.

  • Ep. 189 TEXITcoin’s Bet on Proof-of-Work, Zero-Fee Payments & Real Adoption

    In this episode of Crypto Mavericks, I sit down with TEXITcoin founder Bobby Gray to talk about the current crypto market, why decentralization and permissionless systems have become more marketing terms than measurable technical properties, and what TEXITcoin is doing differently. We also break down its fair-launch, proof-of-work model, NectarPay’s approach to everyday crypto payments, and why real adoption should be measured by usage and transaction volume rather than token price or TVL.
