BCP 806 - AI Produces Bad Crypto!

About this episode

Joel and Travis discuss the top crypto stories of the week, chosen by AI.

This week, Joel and Travis handed the producer role to AI and let it choose the top 10 stories in crypto. Surprisingly, the machine delivered. Episode 806 covers Kraken’s direct access to Fed payment rails, the growing push toward tokenized stocks, the stalled progress of the U.S. Bitcoin reserve, the latest Trump meme coin pump, and why stablecoins may be becoming the true financial infrastructure story of crypto. They also dig into Bitcoin outperforming gold during wartime, how banks are trying to protect their turf as stablecoin legislation moves forward, and why the next phase of adoption may have less to do with hype and more to do with rails, regulation, and real-world use. It’s a fast-moving roundup of the biggest crypto stories of the week, with analysis, sarcasm, and a few detours only Bad Crypto could make work.
