Anthony Scaramucci Slams Trump's Crypto Plans for America
Americans in #crypto are grappling with the pros and cons of President Trump turning America into the crypto capital of the world. And perhaps no one has a right to be more conflicted than Anthony Scaramucci. In a wide-ranging interview with Coinage, Trump's former White House communications director made clear that while he’s all for Bitcoin adoption, the way President Trump is going about it could wind up doing more harm for America than good. “According to the watchdogs, he's made $3.4 billion since he started the presidency the second time. I don't know if that's good for the country,” Scaramucci said. “I would actually say you say it less passive aggressive and say that's bad for the country.”
The Chopping Block: USDH Bake-off—Native Markets, Validators & the “Beauty Contest” Debate
Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week, we’re joined by Guy founder of Ethena as a special guest, as a single ticker (USDH) sparked a weeklong spectacle: Hyperliquid’s “Bake-off” to award the USDH stablecoin brand. Native Markets surged ahead as validators signaled support, Paxos rallied late with partners and incentives, and Ethena ultimately withdrew. Was this always a vibes‑based beauty contest, or a deliberate move to pressure Circle and re‑route bridge yield? We parse the incentives, the governance, and the market microstructure — and peek at what happens if every big chain/app tries the “native stablecoin” playbook. Show highlights 🔹 Hyperliquid RFP, Explained — Validators signaled early; stakers could migrate; the USDH “ticker” confers no explicit fee rights, yet bidders offered huge economics. 🔹 Why Native Won — “Vibes-based beauty contest”: homegrown team fit the HL ethos; speed, alignment, and community trust trumped external credentials. 🔹 Paxos Allegation — Late claim of validator bribery surfaced; Paxos denied; no receipts provided; underscores governance fragility to extra‑protocol incentives. 🔹 The Real Prize — Bridge control & yield capture (+ tail‑risk management) mattered more than a brand: even a “just a ticker” beachhead can evolve to real economics. 🔹 Masterstroke Marketing — The public Bake-off dragged every major issuer onstage, boosting HL mindshare and potential leverage in any USDC negotiation. 🔹 Open vs. Closed — If you want a native team, say so; calling it an “RFP” for service providers while preferring insiders created dissonance and drama. 🔹 Odds vs. Votes — Polymarket odds rapidly converged on Native despite splashy rival bids—perception and validator reality diverged from Twitter takes. 🔹 Issuer Margins Compress — Public bids commoditize stablecoin issuance; expect 5–15 bps “asset‑manager” style economics unless you’re Tether‑scale. 🔹 App/Chain Rent Wars — Who captures the float? Apps, wallets, and chains will increasingly demand economics for distribution; UX and liquidity fragmentation loom. 🔹 Liquidity Gotchas — Forcing a nonstandard stable can impair quotes vs. USDT pairs elsewhere; exchanges risk killing their golden goose to save a few bps.

The Silent Revolution: How Enscribe Is Making Ethereum Safer for Everyone
In this episode, we’re exploring the fascinating world of ENS-powered contract naming with Conor, the founder behind Enscribe. Conor takes us through his journey from discovering Ethereum back in 2016, inspired by its “world computer” ethos and close ties to the open-source community, to launching pivotal projects like web3j and now Enscribe. Enscribe sets out with a bold mission: to eliminate confusing hex addresses from Ethereum's user experience and make interacting with smart contracts safer and more human-friendly through recognizable names. We discuss the technical challenges of contract naming, the slow but steady adoption across the ecosystem, and the powerful impact this seemingly simple innovation can have—improving trust, usability, and the everyday crypto experience. Conor also sheds light on how integrating ENS with existing contract deployment tools could make it easier for developers to bring this to the mainstream, and we touch on the potential for DAOs and public goods funding to help drive adoption. 00:00 "Discovering Ethereum: A Tech Journey" 04:05 "Journey from Mining to Web3" 07:52 Innovating Beyond Established Block Explorers 12:01 "Digital Verification and Authenticity" 15:14 "Name Your Contracts Initiative" 18:52 ENS Name Resolution Challenges 22:47 Automating Naming in ENS Deployment 26:19 Streamlining Token Launch with ENS Integration 28:32 Ethereum's Decentralization vs. Super Apps 35:18 ENS Ecosystem Funding Initiatives 40:24 Subdomains: Untapped Potential in Communities 44:35 Enhancing Smart Contract Verification 48:21 Enhancing ENS for Safer Contracts 50:36 Trust Signals Beyond Audits 54:17 Careful Expansion of ENS Initiative 57:30 Pakistani Cuisine in London Links Mentioned: Twitter (https://x.com/enscribe_) Website (https://www.enscribe.xyz/) Incentive Campaign (https://discuss.ens.domains/t/temp-check-ens-contract-naming-season/21402) ___ CastOff/Episode Discussion, here (https://t.me/+oy6j0NBQObsyZjEx).

Most Startups Misunderstand Incentives feat. Joseph Al-Chami
The future of crypto might not be bots, bulls**t, and broken incentives — but first, we have some serious receipts to go through. This week we are joined by researcher Joseph Al-Chami for a wide-ranging dive into the biggest consumer crypto stories of the week — and an honest reckoning with how points systems, appcoins, agentic investors, and open social graphs are actually playing out. From Circle’s IPO drama to AI SEO strategies, we’re connecting the dots on what’s really happening across consumer crypto, AI, and internet culture. We kick off with a quickfire rundown of Appcoins, AI discoverability, and the death spiral of poorly launched tokens, before moving into a deep, revealing conversation with Joseph about the hidden dangers behind points-based growth strategies — and why blind copying Duolingo-style gamification just doesn’t work for crypto projects.

The Chopping Block: Corpo Chains, Monero’s AI Vampire Attack, and DAT Mania
Altcoin season meets corporate blockchains as Circle and Stripe launch their own L1s, Monero suffers the biggest 51% attack in history (powered by an AI named “Garth”), and the crew debates whether the DAT boom is heading toward equilibrium or mania. Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. In this episode, the crew dives into the surprising altcoin rally and asks whether ETH still counts as an alt. The big news: Circle unveils Arc, Stripe leaks Tempo — and crypto Twitter is not impressed. We explore why major fintechs are launching their own chains instead of using Ethereum L2s, and whether stablecoin-centric blockchains are the future or just profit grabs. Then: the wildest headline of the week — Monero gets hit with a 51% attack by Qubic, a project training an AI called “Garth,” in what might be the largest attack of its kind. We break down the game theory, the proof-of-work vs. proof-of-stake debate, and what this foreshadows for Bitcoin’s security decades from now. Also: Trump’s executive order opens the door for crypto in 401(k) plans, we speculate about a future GPU debt market crisis, and dissect the state of play in Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs) — including whether yield advantages over staking ETFs mean we’re only halfway to mania.
