| 4/16/25 | Computer Arbitrage, Inefficient Markets, Tariffs, and Monetizing Stranded Energy with Sopris Capital’s Head of Special Situations Dan Wedman | Welcome back, everyone! I sat down with my new friend Daniel Wedman, the head of special situations at Sopris Capital. We delved into a variety of topics, focusing on the dynamic world of Bitcoin and crypto investments, and the evolving landscape of capital markets. Daniel's Career Journey Daniel shared his fascinating career trajectory, starting from his early days at Citigroup on a special situations team, to his roles at SL Green and Wheelock Street Capital. His journey into the crypto world began as a side hobby of mining Bitcoin, which eventually led him to join Galaxy Digital's Bitcoin mining team. Sopris Capital and Investment Strategies At Sopris Capital, Daniel initially joined to build out the real estate arm but soon found himself pitching innovative investment ideas to Andy Paul, the open-minded founder. One notable strategy involved an ASIC arbitrage, where they imported ASICs from Asia, mined Bitcoin while waiting for them to sell, and then sold them at a premium. Bitcoin ATMs We discussed the lucrative business of Bitcoin ATMs, which Daniel stumbled upon through a meetup in New York. Sopris Capital started with 50 machines in Canada and expanded to 200 in the U.S., with plans for further growth. Daniel highlighted the strong cash-on-cash returns and the significant market potential, especially among the underbanked. Stranded Energy and Bitcoin Mining Daniel explained the concept of stranded energy and how Bitcoin mining can utilize cheap, otherwise wasted energy sources. He shared an example of a curtailed wind energy project in West Texas, where they built a data center to mine Bitcoin using cheap wind energy. Economic Shifts and Investment Opportunities We touched on the broader economic shifts and how they create opportunities for agile and flexible investors. Daniel emphasized the importance of reading the tea leaves and understanding the second and third-order consequences of policies aimed at helping working-class Americans. Compliance and Industry Maturation The conversation also covered the increasing compliance requirements in the Bitcoin ATM industry and how this is leading to consolidation, with smaller players being acquired or going dark. Daniel sees this as a positive development, signaling the maturation of the industry. Future of Energy and Compute Daniel shared insights from his time at Galaxy Digital, emphasizing the critical role of energy in the future of digital networks and compute. He expressed optimism about breakthroughs in energy technology, which could unlock a new era of innovation. Closing Thoughts It was a pleasure having Daniel Wedman on the show. His deep knowledge and innovative approach to crypto investments provided valuable insights for our listeners. As always, major changes in the world present opportunities for those who are prepared to adapt and innovate. Thank you for tuning in to The Charlie Shrem Show. Stay tuned for more deep dives with influential leaders in the Bitcoin and crypto space. | — | ||||||
| 3/19/25 | Real-World Assets and Institutional Crypto: The Next Evolution of DeFi with Joe Flanagan Maple Finance | In this episode, I sit down with Joe Flanagan, the Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of Maple Finance, a leading institutional lending platform in DeFi. With nearly $6 billion in loans issued, Maple is one of the few crypto companies bridging the gap between traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi). We cover some of the biggest trends in crypto right now: The real value of tokenized assets and why tokenization alone isn’t enough How Maple built a transparent, institutional-grade lending market on-chain Why crypto’s next big users won’t come from TradFi—but from meme coin traders evolving into DeFi investors How regulations are shifting in 2025 and what it means for institutional adoption Why DeFi UX is still broken—and how cross-chain strategies can fix it If you're interested in real-world adoption, institutional DeFi, and where crypto finance is actually headed, this is an episode packed with insights from one of the builders making it happen. Key Takeaways: ✅ Tokenization alone isn’t the game-changer—what matters is the new financial products that emerge from it. ✅ Institutional-grade DeFi lending is here, but it’s still mostly crypto-native capital participating. ✅ The next wave of DeFi adoption might come from meme coin traders learning how to deploy capital more effectively. ✅ With regulatory uncertainty easing, crypto builders finally have the freedom to innovate at full speed. ✅ Cross-chain user experience is still fragmented, but new infrastructure is emerging to unify ecosystems.

| 3/17/25 | Fixing Ethereum: Hart Lambur on Cross-Chain Intents & the Future of Interoperability | In this episode, I sit down with Hart Lambur, the co-founder of Risk Labs, the team behind UMA and Across Protocol, two projects solving some of the biggest challenges in crypto—cross-chain interoperability and on-chain data verification. Ethereum has scaled, but in the process, it’s fragmented into over 50 Layer 2s, creating a messy user experience. Hart and his team are pushing for a cross-chain intent standard (ERC-7683) to make blockchain transactions feel instant and seamless—because let’s be real, waiting minutes (or days) to move assets across chains is a joke. We also dive deep into: The “two-second rule” for crypto UX and why speed is king How ERC-7683 enables cross-chain swaps without waiting for block confirmations Why Ethereum’s fragmentation problem could kill adoption if we don’t fix it The future of prediction markets and decentralized oracles How Chainlink maintained dominance in the Oracle space—and whether that’s changing Why AI-powered agents will need blockchain-based dispute resolution If you're into DeFi, cross-chain tech, and the future of Ethereum, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss. Key Takeaways: ✅ Ethereum has scaled, but it now feels like 50 separate chains—interoperability must be solved. ✅ The two-second UX rule: If a transaction takes longer, users will lose focus and abandon it. ✅ ERC-7683 introduces cross-chain intents, allowing instant swaps by having solvers front transactions. ✅ Optimistic oracles (used by UMA) enable decentralized dispute resolution, powering prediction markets like PolyMarket. ✅ AI agents will need on-chain contract enforcement—blockchain oracles will play a crucial role.

| 3/13/25 | Why Privacy is the Next Big Thing in Crypto – Midnight CEO Eran Barak Explains | In this episode, I sit down with Eran Barak, the CEO of Midnight, a groundbreaking new privacy-focused blockchain incubated by IOHK (Input Output, the team behind Cardano). Eran has an incredible background—before diving into Web3, he built the financial world’s digital plumbing at Symphony, a secure communications platform used by thousands of banks and institutions. Now, he’s bringing privacy and selective disclosure to blockchain, solving one of the biggest hurdles in getting businesses to adopt the technology. We dive deep into: Why privacy isn’t just a buzzword, but a necessity for blockchain to go mainstream The problem with public blockchains and how metadata leaks can be dangerous How Midnight is using zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) to protect data while keeping it usable The rise of AI and why your private data is the next target for machine learning models Why traditional finance players are still struggling to adopt Web3—and what needs to change If you’re interested in the intersection of AI, privacy, and blockchain, this is an episode that will blow your mind and show you where the industry is really headed. Key Takeaways: ✅ Blockchain can’t go mainstream without solving privacy, but regulators still resist full anonymity. ✅ The Midnight blockchain introduces a dual-token system to balance compliance and privacy. ✅ Zero-knowledge proofs allow selective disclosure, meaning your data remains private while still proving facts about it. ✅ AI is the next frontier—your personal data is already public, but blockchain can help protect what’s left. ✅ Traditional finance still relies on outdated infrastructure, but Web3 can offer a better, more secure alternative.

| 3/11/25 | The Missed Opportunity of Tokenization – What Comes Next? Tezos Founder Arthur Breitman | In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend Arthur Breitman, the co-founder of Tezos, one of the OG blockchains that has been innovating since 2018. We dive deep into the evolution of tokenization, why the first wave fell short, and how the next iteration can unlock real value. Arthur also shares insights on Tezos’ latest upgrades, the growing demand for privacy in crypto, and an unexpected but fascinating use case—tokenizing uranium. We also explore: Why stablecoins became the most successful “real-world asset” in crypto The role of privacy in blockchain and the regulatory challenges ahead How Tezos continues to innovate with faster block times and seamless upgrades The surprising connection between commodities like uranium and crypto markets The reality of DeFi and whether planned maintenance on blockchains makes sense If you’re interested in the future of tokenized assets, crypto infrastructure, and why banks still feel like they’re stuck in 1999, this is an episode you don’t want to miss. Key Takeaways: ✅ The first wave of tokenization failed due to misaligned expectations—crypto traders weren’t looking for stable, bond-like investments.✅ Stablecoins became the ultimate “real-world asset” because they’re not an investment but a convenience, especially in regions with weak local currencies.✅ Tezos continues to evolve with fast block times, liquid proof-of-stake, and a strong developer community.✅ Tokenizing commodities like uranium opens up new financial markets that were previously inaccessible to retail investors.✅ Privacy remains a core value in crypto, but regulatory pressure is making it harder to implement.
