Rhea Has a Picture of Two Girls in a Cage

Episode 42 has finally arrived after a gruelling 7 months of editing. Rhea is a forward-thinking, larger than life cultural critic and journalist with a history of throwing parties and getting up to various things in the ever-changing, forward-thinking Toronto nightlife scene. Rhea's online publication, cunt magazine, has been at the center of various speculations and comments since its inception.In our conversation, we touch on a number of things, including a photo. The photo in question in this episode depicts two girls in a cage. We don t get to this photo until the end of the episode and unfortunately the phone call is abruptly cut short. So, in the end, we find out almost nothing about the haunting image in question. We do however find out that the photo has to do with William Banks, who you may have heard of. One unanswered question stands out amongst the rest: Who are these girls in the cage?

Udi Wertheimer on Why Bitcoin Could Reach $400,000 by Year's End

Udi Wertheimer says OG bitcoiners are gone, and that’s why the next Bitcoin rally could melt your face off. Bitcoin is up over 25% year-to-date, but what if this is still the beginning? Udi Wertheimer joins the show to share a thesis that’s grabbing attention across crypto: that we’re entering a generational Bitcoin rotation, where old holders are out, new institutional buyers are in, and price targets like $400K may arrive faster than anyone expects. He explains why the emergence of “forced buyers” like Michael Saylor’s Strategy changes everything, why he thinks the altcoin cycle is already lost, and how the biggest mistake Crypto Twitter is making today is thinking this is the top.

The U.S. Finally Has Stablecoin Legislation. Can Crypto Compete With Banks?

The U.S. finally passed stablecoin legislation, setting off a competition between banks, fintechs, and crypto companies. Circle’s top policy exec explains how the USDC issuer plans to compete. After years of hostility toward crypto, the U.S. passed its first-ever federal law regarding the industry. The GENIUS Act, stablecoin legislation backed by both parties, was ⁠signed⁠ by President Trump’s desk after a last-minute showdown in Congress. Despite being seen as a sure thing, the bill’s path turned turbulent this week, with objections from Democrats over Trump’s crypto ties, and a sudden revolt from the Freedom Caucus around anti-CBDC language. Now that it’s through, what will this law actually do? And who ⁠stands to benefit—or lose⁠? In this episode, Dante Disparte, Circle’s chief strategy officer and one of the key players behind the legislation, joins Unchained to explain: How the bill won bipartisan support despite political tensions Why banks may think twice before issuing stablecoins And why Circle is applying for a national trust bank charter Plus, the battle over interest-bearing stablecoins, how this bill fits into the broader financial regulatory landscape, and whether U.S. consumers and the dollar come out ahead.
