E109: Meltem Demirors: Why Speculation Drives Crypto (And How To Win The Game)

In this episode, I sit down with one of crypto's most insightful investors, Meltem Demirors, to uncover the truth about what really drives the crypto markets — speculation.Meltem shares her unfiltered thoughts on how speculation isn't just a side-effect of crypto — it’s the fuel that keeps it alive. From memecoins and NFTs to billion-dollar protocols, we dive into the speculative cycles that shape the industry, who benefits the most, and why greed is actually a feature — not a bug.

Bitcoin and Frankencoin: Swiss Franc Stable Coin

One could say, based on research, that Bitcoin and Frankencoin (fully decentralized CHF Stable Coin) are upcoming backbones of modern finance risk management. We talk about this, and why everyone should have $ZCHF in their portfolio of stables, with Johannes, the MD of Frankencoin Association. Why is it great? Well, it's decentralized, Swiss franc appreciates in value against USD in the past 50 years very steadily, it has unique liquidation features as well as governance structure and can function as transactional as well as store of value currency. Get boringly Swiss and check out the live demo Johannes did for me. Give it a listen and don't forget to collect!

How the $1.5 Billion Bybit Hack Could Have Been Prevented

Crypto derivatives exchange Bybit just became the latest victim of North Korea’s elite hacking unit, the Lazarus Group. They didn’t brute-force their way in. They didn’t exploit some obscure vulnerability. Instead, they tricked a trusted developer, slipped in malicious code, and took off with a fortune. How did this happen? Why was $1.5 billion sitting in a single wallet? What mistakes did Bybit and Safe make? And, more importantly, what needs to change to stop this from happening again? This week, Mudit Gupta, chief information security officer at Polygon, joins Unchained to expose the security failures, the sophisticated tactics Lazarus used, and why crypto still hasn’t learned its lesson.

Why Would Argentine President Javier Milei Protect Kelsier's Hayden Davis?

Javier Milei and Hayden Davis are reportedly having secret phone calls, and the Argentine president even promised to protect Davis from punishment. Just how close are they? What started as another scammy memecoin launch has spiraled into one of Argentina’s biggest political scandals. The $LIBRA token, promoted by President Javier Milei and tied to Hayden Davis of Kelsier Ventures, is now at the center of multiple investigations—with allegations of bribery, insider trading, and political corruption. Some are calling it “CryptoGate.” Did Davis really have influence over Milei? Was the president’s sister involved in pay-to-play politics? Could Davis and Milei face legal action? This week, Danny Nelson, managing editor for data & tokens at CoinDesk, joins to reveal what his reporting uncovered, from secret deals to political fallout—and why this scandal could change how people see memecoins forever.

Crypto Sentiment Is Down Bad. But Is It Time to Go All In?

Memecoins, misinformation, and misplaced pessimism—Jeff Dorman explains why crypto’s current sentiment doesn’t match reality and why he thinks now might be the perfect time to buy. Crypto sentiment is extremely low, but is the market completely wrong? While X is flooded with doomsday takes, Jeff Dorman, CIO of ARCA, argues that the real fundamentals of crypto are stronger than ever. In this episode, Jeff breaks down why investors are overlooking key signals—like growing regulatory clarity, the tokenization of real-world assets, and institutional interest—and how meme coins have hijacked the broader market narrative. He pushes back on claims that there are no fresh narratives and explains why the current climate reminds him of previous market mispricings that turned into massive opportunities. He also dives into the potential of tokenized assets, why crypto adoption is way ahead of where people think, and why he believes the industry keeps making the same mistakes when it comes to marketing its breakthroughs.
