Goodnow revolutionaries–

Evan and Alex open with their outlook for SOL and ETH in the week ahead, then welcome back our favorite returning guest—William Quigley. We get his take on the current state of the markets, stablecoins, and the hype surrounding XRP (and why crypto cults just aren’t worth it).

William shares insights into how banks and institutions might adopt—or bypass—decentralized blockchains, and we explore the different paths businesses might take toward real-world adoption. Then, we throw him a hypothetical: what would he do if he were our friend the White Whale, ready to make a splash in investing?  William gives sage advice before he & Alex trade scuba diving stories, literally, "from the depths."

Finally, we close with everyone’s Bitcoin price predictions through year’s end and a discussion about why conversations like this—between people with curiosity, conviction, and ideas about the future—are what keep us excited.
