On the mic
Summary
In the last All Things Crypto show of the week, the hosts and speakers covered Donald Trump's vow to make the US the crypto capital of the planet. They also talked about Forbes partnering with OKX on an NFT community, an article calling for an altcoin season at "sell your house" levels, and Polkadot becoming Inter Miami's official global training partner. Kool and Landy pushed back on the altcoin season story, saying the market lacks liquidity and that Bitcoin has not had its real run yet. Several speakers agreed that web3 products need to be simpler and hide the tech if they want to bring in new users. The second half was a DePIN deep dive led by Voice C, who covered earning tokens with apps and devices such as Silencio, Hivemapper, Demo, Wingbits, Natix and BitDr, and warned listeners to check whether the data is actually worth anything and to watch out for grifters. All of this is discussion, not financial advice.
