   Ep.90 Trading Cards in 2026: Celebrity Collectors, Counterfeit Concerns, and the Whiskey Auction Connection

   Tzvi Wiesel, CEO of Baxus (a liquid trading marketplace for fine wines and spirits), breaks down the trading card market through the lens of someone who understands both collectibles and asset markets at their core. From Panini's $25,000 Mahomes Dutch auction to Logan Paul's controversial $16.4M PSA 10 Pikachu Illustrator, we explore what happens when grading companies have every incentive to inflate scores and celebrities become both the market makers and the exit liquidity. This episode covers: The Logan Paul Pikachu controversy: Why that card shouldn't be a PSA 10, how grading companies mirror the credit rating agencies in The Big Short, and why Beckett 10s are worth more than PSA 10s but Beckett 9s are worth less than PSA 9s (spoiler: it's about integrity) The celebrity collector problem: How Kevin O'Leary, Logan Paul, and Luke Combs went from accumulating quietly to shilling publicly, why athletes' personal scandals can tank card values overnight, and the uncomfortable truth about who's holding the bag in 2026 Sports cards vs. Pokemon economics: Why there are 30+ Cooper Flagg "one-of-ones," what actual game-worn memorabilia means for card valuations, and why Tzvi thinks Pokemon cards make more sense than modern sports releases The Magic: The Gathering lawsuit and Universe Beyond: Why collectors are suing Hasbro over print runs, how Final Fantasy became their best-selling set ever, and why Tzvi actually loves that they're printing more cards (even if collectors hate it) Counterfeit risk and authentication: What it's like buying raw cards at shows when you can't tell real from fake, why slabbing makes counterfeiting easier in some ways, and how the whiskey world is introducing grading systems similar to PSA/Beckett The Sotheby's whiskey auction experience: Inside the Great American Whiskey Collection sale, how auction houses authenticate bottles, and the story of the mystery bottle they couldn't verify so they just opened and drank instead Baxus's whiskey gacha machines: How the same mechanics that power trading card pack openings are coming to whiskey collecting, why spending $100 to potentially pull a $3,000 bottle creates the same dopamine hit, and what semi-public beta testing looks like Important DisclosuresThis content is intended for educational purposes only.

   Ep.89 Forgotten Runes: Decentralized World Building, Paused Games & the Fight to Survive NFT Winter

   Elf J Trul, creator, artist, and writer of Forgotten Runes Wizards Cult, opens up about what happens when one of the most ambitious NFT projects in history meets a market that removes what's needed to succeed. From a TV show with Hodor's voice actor to a fully launched MMORPG, to a comic series where holders literally wrote the lore, Forgotten Runes built what decentralized world-building was always supposed to look like. Then royalties disappeared, Hollywood turned its back on crypto overnight, and the budget dried up. This episode covers: - The decentralized world building thesis: Why Forgotten Runes flipped the fan fiction model on its head by giving holders actual IP ownership of their characters, and why that idea still holds up even in an NFT winter - The royalty crisis that broke the industry: How losing creator royalties misaligned every incentive that made NFTs worth building on, why new chains honoring royalties couldn't move the market, and what it would actually take for NFTs to recover - Hollywood's 180 on crypto: The unnamed studio that wanted a deal and is now going under, how the writer's strike and crypto backlash made meetings impossible, and why the TV show still has a real shot with funding - Runiverse MMORPG pause and what's next: Why pausing a fun, fully launched game isn't a rug and why the community never stopped building anyway, plus hints at active conversations happening right now to bring it back - AI tools and the future of entertainment: Where AI video generation actually falls short for animated storytelling, why character consistency and cinematography remain unsolved, and what a brave new world looks like for NFT-adjacent content - The community that wouldn't quit: Why Forgotten Runes may have the strongest NFT community still standing, still writing lore, still building experiences, and still holding the world together through the worst market conditions the space has seen

   Ep.88 Bill Lee on Real-World Assets That Generate Cash Flow

   Bill Lee, founder and CEO of Dualmint, explains how he's building a platform that tokenizes the most boring machines on earth into cash-flow-generating assets. From laundromats that keep printing money while crypto markets crash ("people still need to wash their clothes") to arcade claw machines and EV charging stations, he's betting that when AI takes half the jobs in Silicon Valley, everyone's going to need a robot army earning them rent. This episode covers: - The "boring is beautiful" thesis: Why tokenizing laundromats, vending machines, and ATMs generates consistent cash flow while IP tokens crash with market sentiment, and why Dualmint's products sell out with zero marketing because mature investors finally found something that makes sense - AI job displacement reality: Why Anthropic's CEO saying they'll replace engineers in 6-12 months creates a passive income tsunami, how owning cash-generating machines becomes survival strategy when traditional employment evaporates, and why Bill is positioning ahead of the curve - The DePIN convergence: How Helium networks, Grass internet sharing, and Dualmint's tokenized machines are solving the same democratization problem, and why AI agents will soon be buying each other's services using tokens from the machines they operate - From Hong Kong to global expansion: Building decentralized business validators to scale worldwide, why the "Boring Dollar" synthetic will attract DeFi liquidity, and how individual robot ownership becomes the new real estate investment model for a jobless future Important DisclosuresThis content is intended for educational purposes only.
