13 DEC 2025 · In this episode of Drilling into Crypto, Mohamed El-Masri sits down with Carlos Tapang, Founder of RockStable, to examine how Bitcoin and stablecoins are changing the rules of money in an inflationary world. We break down why inflation quietly erodes purchasing power, why Bitcoin alone isn’t enough for everyday economic activity, and how stablecoins increase money velocity while preserving trust and usability. The conversation explores real-world use cases—from remittances to financial inclusion—and why the next phase of money must balance scarcity, stability, and access. A practical discussion on how digital money is evolving—and what it takes to survive inflation.

12 DEC 2025 · On this Episode 19 of Drilling into Crypto, I speak with Sheraz Ahmed of STORM where we deep dive on web3's emergence as a beacon of decentralization, offering individuals the power to reclaim autonomy and reshape their futures. Unlike traditional models, web3 leverages blockchain technology to foster transparency, security, and user empowerment.
Globalization has long been a driving force in connecting cultures and economies, yet it often leads to the consolidation of power within a few major institutions. Web3 challenges this by decentralizing authority, thus democratizing access to resources and opportunities. This paradigm shift allows individuals to participate in a global economy without the barriers imposed by intermediaries, creating a more inclusive and equitable digital landscape.
Escaping the metaphorical "matrix" of centralized control involves embracing the principles of web3. It empowers individuals to become active participants rather than passive consumers, enabling them to shape the digital ecosystem. Through decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), web3 offers a suite of tools that facilitate personal freedom, creative expression, and community-driven innovation. As we navigate this transformative era, the potential of web3 to redefine globalization and offer an escape from traditional constraints becomes increasingly evident. It invites us to envision a future where power is more evenly distributed, where creativity knows no bounds, and where each individual can contribute to and benefit from a truly decentralized world.

11 DEC 2025 · In Episode 18 of "Drilling into Crypto," we speak with Benoit Vincenzi of BTSF where we delve into the pivotal role of Bitcoin-denominated lending in the bitcoin ecosystem.
Discover how this innovative mechanism facilitates efficient capital allocation and risk management, stabilizing and expanding the Bitcoin network. Join us as we explore how lenders and borrowers benefit from reduced transaction costs and minimized exposure to currency fluctuations by avoiding fiat conversions. This frictionless lending environment not only attracts more participants to invest in hashrate but also enhances the security and reliability of the Bitcoin network. We discuss the burgeoning recognition of hashrate and overall bitcoin mining infrastructure as an asset class, and how it is drawing interest from institutional investors eager to diversify their portfolios with novel opportunities. By bolstering the growth and stability of the Bitcoin network, Bitcoin-denominated lending fosters increased trust and acceptance of Bitcoin as a medium of exchange.
Tune in to Episode 18 to understand how these dynamics are propelling Bitcoin from a speculative asset to a cornerstone of the digital economy, paving the way for broader adoption and integration into the global financial system.

5 DEC 2025 · In this episode, we dive into how AI and large language models (LLMs) are reshaping brand positioning — and why hyper-personalization is becoming essential for companies to stay visible in an AI-powered search world. With my guest, Valdislav Pivnev, we break down the rise of sovereign AI infrastructure, the quiet monopolization of large-scale compute by governments and sovereign wealth funds, and the risks this creates for information control and historical erasure.

3 DEC 2025 · In this powerful conversation with Satoshi Chad, we dive deep into Bitcoin as Digital Matter, the emerging Non-Arbitrary Token (NAT) model, and how new subsidy structures can fundamentally transform treasury strategy for miners — and even nation-states running their own nodes. We explore how NATs open the door to smarter treasury optimization, reduce reliance on legacy debt systems, and create a path for countries to strengthen their financial sovereignty. Satoshi Chad also breaks down the role of world banks, IMF lending, and how modern debt structures can mirror economic colonialism — and why Bitcoin may be the first real mechanism to break that cycle. A must-listen for anyone thinking about mining, monetary policy, or the future of national independence in a Bitcoin-powered world. 🎧 Tune in to Episode 16 of Drilling into Crypto.
