Episode Details

September is being staged like a play — with a rate cut carrot dangled in front of retail, Coinbase hyping a so-called Banana Zone, and a wave of new investors set up to believe in Altseason as if every token were a hero. But this isn’t the Rebel Alliance. Some coins are bounty hunters. Some are traps. And the Banana Zone can just as easily turn into a Banana DeadZone if you’re not careful.

In this episode, I break down how to spot the setups, why the carrot narrative matters, and what it means for you before the next move. And at the end, I’ll spotlight Lagrange LA — an Ethereum verification layer with Intel and Mantle ties that fits my thesis: verifiable before valuable.

Want to go deeper into the ideas behind this show?

The best place to begin is the Start Here page — where I explain how capital is quietly reshaping the financial system, and how everyday investors can align early with the infrastructure being built beneath the headlines.

If you want to go further, the next step is the Alignment Intelligence Bundle — the system I use to interpret how structural financial shifts happen before they become obvious.

🔶 Get it here:

Inside you’ll find:

• Aligned or Left Behind — the framework for understanding alignment before clarity
• The Alignment Checklist — a practical guide for identifying positioning signals
• And 30 days of Signals access, where I track the infrastructure and assets institutions are quietly building

Because in structural shifts, recognition always arrives later than alignment.
