Crypto Hipster Manifesto: Why I Stopped Interviewing Corporate Crypto

About this episode

Jamil Hasan discusses the shift in focus of the Crypto Hipster Podcast towards builders and founders in the crypto space.

I stopped interviewing corporate crypto. Not because I ran out of guests...but because the conversations stopped being real. At some point, everyone started sounding the same. Same backgrounds. Same narratives. Same polished answers. So I changed the rules. This episode is a reset on what the Crypto Hipster Podcast is...and who it is for. This is not a show for people adjacent to outcomes. It is for builders. Founders. And people with something at stake. The ones who do not get to hide behind narratives, a corporate infrastructure, or a flashy resume and cushy job. Because when things break (and they almost always do)...they feel it. Pain over pedigree. Scars over fluff. Knife-sharpened over spoon-fed. Cypherpunks over suits. Founders over phonies. If you're here for price predictions, headlines, or recycled talking points, this is not for you. If you want to understand what's actually being built and what is actually takes to build it... ...you are in the right place.
