ATC: DAVE & KOOL TALK ALL THINGS CRYPTO - $GODS Unchained

▶ Listen on XSpeakers unconfirmed

On the mic

Summary

This episode opened with an AI-voiced monologue covering the day's headlines. The panel then spent a long stretch on the Gods Unchained token (GODS), which the hosts said was up about 115% in 48 hours while still far below its December 2021 all-time high of $9. Kool laid out an approach of looking for beaten-down narratives with tier one exchange listings, and a guest introduced as a Magic: The Gathering champion talked about trading card games moving onto blockchains. Later topics included $423,000,000 in spot Bitcoin ETF inflows, record Polymarket volume, a teased Trump NFT collection, Mark Cuban's Bitcoin comments, an Arthur Hayes grant program for Bitcoin Core devs, and 10 Ethereum ETFs launching the following week. The second half covered all-time highs from the 2021 cycle and personal stories of round-tripping gains, with NatNat explaining entry and exit strategies and the speakers urging listeners to take profits. All of this is discussion, not financial advice.
