ApeFest Vegas Check-In + Why Crypto’s Growing Beyond CT
Description
Steve hosted with Joey as special cohost for a Friday show that blended culture, markets, and perspective. They kicked off with ApeFest Vegas talk, touching on the city’s rising prices, what actually makes Vegas fun, and how events can balance community and cost. The conversation then turned to the massive size gap between U.S. stock ETFs and crypto ETFs, how institutions approach long-term exposure, and why conviction still matters for the next cycle. They also highlighted new A16z data showing crypto adoption continuing to grow globally, especially in emerging markets, even as “Crypto Twitter” itself feels stagnant. The duo wrapped by discussing token farming expectations, how Web3 brands can avoid one-size-fits-all messaging, and the importance of understanding real consumer segments.
