About this episode

This episode discusses Mark Cuban's sale of Bitcoin, scrutiny on the Ethereum Foundation, and the emergence of AI agents spending crypto.

This week feels like one of those episodes where you can genuinely feel the crypto industry shifting under the surface. 👉🏼 First up, billionaire investor and Shark Tank star Mark Cuban has revealed he sold around 80% of his Bitcoin holdings, calling the asset “a disappointment” and saying it’s drifted away from its original purpose. We unpack why he said it, whether he’s wrong, and why the comments have sparked a surprisingly serious debate inside crypto circles. 👉🏼 Then we head over to Ethereum, where the Ethereum Foundation is facing growing scrutiny after a wave of senior researchers and developers walked out this year — including five departures in May alone. For a network built on long-term vision and technical leadership, people are starting to ask whether Ethereum is hitting a turning point. 👉🏼 And finally, arguably the biggest story of the week, AI agents are now beginning to spend crypto autonomously… and some of the world’s largest companies are racing to build the infrastructure underneath it. We’re talking Amazon, Google, Coinbase, Visa and Stripe all positioning themselves around a future where AI bots transact, purchase and move money online with stablecoins…
