About this episode

This episode discusses the current state of crypto as it faces regulatory challenges and new developments from Meta and Brazil.

This week… crypto feels like it’s being pulled in three completely different directions at once. 👉🏼 We’re starting with Meta — yes, Meta — quietly stepping back into crypto, four years after the Libra collapse. This time, it’s not a grand announcement or a new coin… it’s stablecoin payments to creators, flying a lot lower under the radar — and surprisingly, regulators aren’t pushing back. 👉🏼 Then we head into Bitcoin territory, where a proposed hard fork called “eCash” has reignited one of the oldest tensions in crypto — who actually gets to decide the rules? Especially when the plan involves reassigning Satoshi’s coins on a new chain… and the community is not taking it lightly. 👉🏼 And finally, a reminder that while some doors are opening, others are closing fast. Brazil has just banned crypto for cross-border payments — a move that’s less about technology, and more about control over money in one of the world’s largest emerging economies.
