From Med School to Miden: Azeem Khan's Wild Journey (Kimcoin, Kanye & Beyond) | Ep 65 🍻🌗
2026/01/29
Goodnow revolutionaries–
Tonight we welcome Azeem Khan, co-founder of Miden, to Rise Up After Dark.
Med school dropout, biotech escapee, Kimcoin creator, Gitcoin alum—Azeem's path to privacy-focused blockchain is anything but ordinary.
He's the non-technical founder making zero-knowledge proofs accessible to builders and institutions alike, and his journey includes marrying friend of the show Mashal (crypto philanthropy expert at Octant).
Alex dives into Starks vs. Snarks for a proper ZK technical breakdown, while Azeem shares his approach to onboarding politicians and regulators—plus why he's pursuing a securities license to launch a token the right way.
We also cover Azeem's crypto stack, Stand with Crypto, Coinbase's new prediction markets for U.S. consumers, and even the story behind Mr. Rogers on his wall.
Arculus wallets get given away, Alex pivots from tokens to Tolkien, and Azeem soft-launches his content creator era.

Bitcoin Charts, DeFi Llama & Is Your Altcoin Bag Dead? Here's How to Know | Ep 448
2026/01/28
Goodnow revolutionaries–
Will's back with updated Bitcoin technical analysis—there's a potentially bullish break forming. He walks through how to weigh bull and bear cases before placing a bet.
We pull up the Bitcoin heat map to see where market makers might be targeting next.
Does an unpredictable news cycle make charting pointless? Will addresses the elephant in the room.
Then we get into a topic that touches many nerves: altcoin bags that will never recover. How can you tell if a token is dead for good? We share the telltale signs and stats—and the chat chips in with feedback about their precious bags.
Evan and Alex walk through DeFi Llama to show how to compare metrics like market cap and revenue that actually matter.
Plus: we fight through a sound issue, critique sacred cows like Cardano and XRP, and share our personal top 5 tokens worth investing in.

Tungsten Mania, Molt Bot Drama & Alex's 10-Year-Old Portfolio | Ep 447
2026/01/28
Goodnow revolutionaries–
Will's back from Miami with a market update: precious metals are swinging like meme coins while Bitcoin continues sideways. Could the 4-year cycle theory actually be valid?
One Reddit trader thinks tungsten is the trade of a lifetime—here's what caught our attention.
Will shares which tokens have revenue buyback models that inform his conviction—including HYPE, AAVE, UNI, and Polygon—and explains why this tokenomics strategy matters.
Alex explains why his portfolio looks like a 10-year-old picked it (Bitcoin, ETH, Solana)—and why that's exactly the point.
Plus: Claude Bot is now Molt Bot, audience questions on buying tokens across different networks, and why liquidity matters more than convenience.

Your AI Just Texted Me: Clawd Bot, Debit Cards & The Future of Your Money | Ep 446
2026/01/26
Goodnow revolutionaries–
Clawd Bot took over our timeline this weekend—an open-source AI agent that can actually do things on your computer. Evan installed it, tested it, and walks through why you should be careful before giving an AI carte blanche to your digital life.
From there, we answer your crypto questions about using crypto as cash—exploring debit cards from Phantom, MetaMask, Coinbase, and more.
Alex explains why getting your money "on-chain" matters (and what that even means).
We show you how to navigate the Rise Up Community to find resources like Evan's Arculus wallet tutorials.
Preview: Azeem Khan, co-founder of Miden (a privacy-focused blockchain), joins us on After Dark this Wednesday.
Plus: Alex has a message for whoever's messaging you on Telegram pretending to be him—it's not him, and they're trying to steal from you.

"A Bad Bill Is Worse Than No Bill"—Market Structure Breakdown and Scholarship Proposals | Ep 445
2026/01/22
Goodnow revolutionaries—
Evan and Alex are back for the final show of the week, starting with extreme cold weather reports (negative 30+ windchill in the Dakotas!). They share ideas for the Rise Up Community Scholarship: naming tiers after first donors (the "Bearded Tier" at $10!), a senior citizens crypto workshop with Sandra from Onboard60 ($500 allocated), and funding IRL meetups.
Then Alex delivers a deep dive into the updated Senate Ag Market Structure Bill—the good news (self-custody wallets "protected," code is speech) comes with massive caveats. DeFi protocols may be exempt, but their front ends (how you actually use them) are not. Alex's verdict: "A bad bill is worse than no bill." They're creating a gray area to selectively enforce, choking DeFi while expanding surveillance.
The conversation shifts to how everyday people can opt out of the extractive banking system by telling stories about how DeFi actually helped them. Plus: Solemn Spartan (Chief Gift Officer) wins the Arculus giveaway.

Should We Buy a Pirate Ship with Scholarship Money? + EtherFi & Cold Storage | Ep 64 🍻🌗
2026/01/22
Goodnow revolutionaries—
Evan and Alex kick things off with a little light reading from Alex's nightstand: the new 161-page Senate Agriculture Committee Market Structure Bill released today. Alex is tired but committed to reading through the legislation that could reshape crypto regulation. We cover CFTC Chair Mike Selig's "Future Proof" initiative and his Washington Post op-ed declaring the regulator ready to lead crypto oversight in 2026—"pass us the torch."
The big topic tonight is crypto payment cards: EtherFi is crushing it with nearly half of all daily crypto card transactions, hitting $10 million in daily volume by June 2025. We walk through their product and compare other options.
Plus: Unlock Protocol powers the Rise Up Community Scholarship Fund (seeded with $2.5k), we plan to buy a pirate ship with scholarship money (srsly—2027 goal), Awaken Tax giveaway (We know, we know, we forgot - Take advantage of our mistake and sign up now (free) using our link for a chance to win a free year of service.) for crypto tax software, and Arculus wallet giveaways including the upcoming purple RUMS co-branded wallet.

What Is a DAO? Dr. Nick Almond Explains Jito Governance | Ep 444
2026/01/21
Goodnow revolutionaries—
Dr. Nick Almond, Head of Governance at Jito joins the show to talk DAOs. He explains what a DAO is, shows us the forums and features that give life to Jito DAO, and we discuss how crypto, as a new medium for making meaning, can help people align their values and coordinate at scale to do things that matter (like collecting and sharing recipes, buying the Constitution, or saving civilization from collapse).
We also unpack lessons from the Aave DAO conflict, explore how Solana is evolving with BAM (the block assembly marketplace), and walk through the practical steps to start your own DAO.
Finally, we ask Dr. Nick: how could Rise Up use helpful governance to benefit the everyday people in our community?

Doug Solo: Markets Dump on Trade Uncertainty + Chart Breakdown | Ep 27 📈🤑
2026/01/20
Doug flies solo tonight while Will cruises the Caribbean. Markets are extremely volatile and there's a lot to cover.
The weekend dump hit hard—Bitcoin broke below the critical $94K level for the first time since November, sparked by tariff threats and trade uncertainty around Greenland, the EU, and UK. Doug breaks down what this means and why crypto doesn't play nice when stocks fall.
Key message: Crypto's in a bear market. Your goal is to survive. There's no rush to catch the bottom—wait for clarity over the next 24-36 hours before making moves.
Also covered: NASDAQ analysis (clearer than S&P right now), gold at ATH while silver looks even more bullish, oil breaking out of its downtrend, and a rapid-fire altcoin request session.

DeF-AI? How AI and DeFi Are Converging (Plus Aave Walkthrough) | Ep 442
2026/01/19
Goodnow revolutionaries–
Will's on a cruise so Evan & Alex hold down the fort for a jam-packed Monday episode.
We kick off with the weekend market "crash" (thanks, tariffs) and why it's getting harder to stay apolitical when politicians have their finger on the market button. From there we pivot to AI tools—Alex shares his Claude Code experiments automating file organization, and we dream about what's possible when AI meets DeFi.
Speaking of DeFi, Alex showcases an advanced yield farming strategy to demonstrate what "becoming your own bank" actually looks like. But for beginners asking "where do I even start?"—Evan walks through Aave (app.aave.com), the most user-friendly on-ramp to earning yield on your crypto.
Plus: Hot wallet recommendations (shoutout Rabby and Solflare), cold storage Q&A, and Alex and Evan get into a spirited soundboard-fueled debate about the difference between a coin and a token.

How Polygon Just Beat Visa at Their Own Game + CLARITY Act Cancelled | Ep 441
2026/01/15
Goodnow revolutionaries–
Gian (Ruto) from Polygon rejoins the show to break down their massive week and the vision to move money onchain.
The Open Money Stack explained: what it is, why it matters, and how the pieces fit together.
Polygon's $250M acquisition of CoinMe and Sequence—48-state money transmitter licenses and 50k fiat-to-crypto locations in the US.
How the acquisitions create a flywheel for $POL token value: more users, more fees, more burns.
Where to stake your POL: staking.polygon.technology and other options.
CLARITY Act update: Brian Armstrong's dissent worked—the vote is cancelled for now. Alex breaks down the banking lobby's concerns.
Will shares his current trading strategy and a tip for using stop losses to protect gains.

Data, Privacy Wars & DeFi Tactics with Dercio + Jito Tutorial Pt 2 | Ep 440
2026/01/14
Goodnow revolutionaries–
Dercio from Polar GTM joins us to talk data analytics, event production, and why privacy might be the biggest battleground in Web3's future. AI-powered mass surveillance is no longer theoretical—and your phone is ground zero.
The Jito tutorial continues: liquidity providing, restaking, and using Kamino for managed LP positions.
How to think about risk metrics in DeFi before you ape in.
Plus: Ruto from Polygon joins us tomorrow to break down their major announcements—yes, the token is 90% off ATH, but the adoption news is wild.

Eric Adams Rugged NYC in 30 Minutes + DeFi Without a Wallet ft. @ericnomics | Ep 439
2026/01/13
Goodnow revolutionaries–
Today Eric Pan joins Rise Up to talk DeFi beyond the wallet—solutions that make crypto accessible to anyone, even your parents. But first: former NYC Mayor Eric Adams' memecoin rug (30 minutes flat!) and Coinbase's standoff with Congress over GENIUS Act loopholes.
Eric walks through Nook, an app he advises that lets normies earn DeFi yields without seed phrases or bridges. The crew explores the Privy-Bridge-Stripe stack that's bringing crypto to TradFi, then rounds up their favorite yield plays: DeFi Carrot, Turbo, EtherFi, Reserve, and Glider.
Will delivers the CPI update (inflation cooling, rate cuts incoming?), announces his modeling career, and dips out early. Evan, Alex, and Eric close with 2026 Bitcoin predictions.

FBI vs Powell + Gold Hits Records | Ep 26 📈🤑
2026/01/13
Welcome back to Market Watch–
Markets shrugged off the FBI investigation into Jerome Powell—stocks closed green despite the noise.
Gold hit all-time highs while silver made serious moves overnight heading into the week.
Bitcoin remains trapped in choppy volatility—flying up, slamming down, no clear bottom confirmed yet.
Will maintains his bearish stance but admits bullish momentum is building on the charts—we're not on easy mode yet.
Doug's advice: turn FOMO into patience, watch for real entry points, and keep tight stop losses in this trap-heavy environment.
