Episode Details

Bitcoin’s holding steady, Ethereum is pressing forward — but the bigger story is how financial advisors have been locked out of crypto for years, just as the rails of DeFi have proven themselves. In this episode, I dig into why that lockdown is cracking, why scams were mostly born in TradFi, and how crypto has survived and evolved. Then we look ahead to September 3rd, when Ondo Finance brings U.S. stocks directly onto Ethereum — a milestone I’m calling “Ethereum’s Fed Meeting.” Finally, I close with a full breakdown of Prompt, the AI agent from Wayfinder. We’ll compare it to Bankrbot, Coinbase’s execution bot of choice, and unpack why Coinbase Ventures is hedging its bets by backing both.

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.
