The Rise Up Morning Show (Rise Up Media)

Will has the flu so Evan & Alex are flying together--just the same guy in two different fonts, talking about how to make your way through the crypto space.

The guys talk about how to scale web3--Alex wants tokens for everything... just not those kinds of tokens; the launch of Pi Mainnet; Evan shares an idea for a Social Reading app; and they share the CPI/PPI data for the month, along with the implications before giving their final thoughts about what lies ahead for the crypto market.

Today on the show, Evan, Will, and Alex explore Ethereum’s next major hard fork, Pectra, and break down how EIP-7702 could change the way wallets and users interact with the network. Evan’s soundboard also gets its own “hard fork” (cue Alex: “Bullish”) for an extra dose of chaos and clarity. The guys dive into the latest Hyperliquid jelly jelly exploit, examine whether “decentralized” protocols are actually living up to their name, and offer real talk on crypto tax prep, including plans for an emergency live class to help viewers get squared away before tax day (sign up tomorrow at theRiseUpMorningShow.com). It’s a fast-paced, thoughtful episode covering the layers of tech, trust, and transparency in the web3 space.

In this episode of Rise Up After Dark, Evan sits down with Dylan Abruscato, cofounding creator of the award-winning, viral hit Crypto the Game—a crypto-native survival game where alliances, betrayals, and onchain mechanics collide. They explore the show's Survivor-style roots, how CTG became a cultural moment in crypto Twitter (again and again), and why building games onchain isn’t just about decentralization—but immersion, community, and fun.

Dylan reflects on the evolution of CTG through its first two seasons, what players taught him about community and mechanics, and what’s coming next in Season 3. This one’s for the builders, the storytellers, and the future contestants. 

(Oh, and the collectors--he totally nerds out with a wild story about how he got his own official Topps card)

Today on The Rise Up Morning Show, Evan, Alex, and Will dive into two of the week’s biggest crypto-adjacent headlines: the new wave of Trump tariffs, which some believe were literally written by ChatGPT, and the U.S. Senate Finance Committee’s approval of the STABLE Act, which could reshape the legal landscape for stablecoins.

In the second half, they welcome special guest Gerard (aka @0xGeebz)—early-stage crypto VC & internet capital markets explorer. Gerard shares his journey from consulting to building and investing full-time in DeFi, DePIN, RWAs, and more; plus insights into the tools, narratives, and protocols he’s exploring—like Artemiz, RWA.xyz, and Machinations.io (links below)—that are helping shape the infrastructure layer of the next generation of the internet.

Good now, revolutionaries—stocks & crypto are down bad and today’s episode is a little bit of everything:

• Tariffs and the new global market game
• Artificial Insanity: Alex finds his AI twin?
• Tips for crypto taxes + a new live workshop (👇 )
• Plus: Evan, Alex, and Will get dangerously sidetracked by Girl Scout Cookies, a new Rise Up mug teaser, and some practical investing reminders you’ll actually want to hear.

This one's part hard-hitting analysis, part late-stage Monday energy—and 100% Rise Up.

• Opportunities for platforms to onboard the next billion users
• What the future of the internet might actually look like.
• PLUS: a special upcoming event: the Women of Web3 (Rise Up wives, fiancés, and girlfriends) takeover episode!

Evan, Alex, and Will talk CPI, macro, & ask Will what he's buying (AERO? MORPHO?) and share a powerful conversation with Hemu Rahman (@shapingelements)—Head of Product at Osmosis Exchange, also building Polaris.app—about taking crypto mainstream.

We touch on how crypto companies can grow beyond the echo chamber and abstract away technical complexity to attract new users; the power of stablecoins (the real “killer app”); and the difference between trading and investing.

PLUS, we couldn’t leave without some breaking news: Hemu announced live on the show that Polaris.app is now open for signups and their $BABY token is live for trading.

If you’re passionate about making crypto understandable, practical, and accessible for the next billion users, this is an episode you don't want to miss.

Today Evan, Alex, and Will cover it all:

We kick off with a look at the recent Mantra ($OM) crash, then tackle the big Bitcoin question—what's next for $BTC’s price? Will it break higher or correct lower (and how low can it go)? We break down the pros and cons of Story Protocol, a project Will recently bought into, and explore how storytelling, tokenization, and IP ownership are evolving onchain.

Finally, when a viewer asks, "If it's my first day of first grade, how do I start learning crypto?"—Alex delivers a nine-step framework for beginners that anyone can use to start building confidence and skills fast (use the free glossary below to get started).

It's the best of Rise Up: real news, real analysis, and frameworks to help you navigate crypto confidently, safely.

Today, the guys answer rapid fire questions from the audience, including our perennial favorite "What would you invest in...?"; Alex almost makes Will cry with a question about trading the lunar cycle; and they preview the upcoming trip to Toronto for Consensus/Las Vegas for the Bitcoin conference (both in May)--plus answers to tax questions, a look back at Binance, and what to do if a token you hold is "stuck" or can't be transferred.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE AUDIENCE:

Solum said: Ask "Why should I buy?", not "What should I buy?"

Cosmic asked: "Would Satoshi be proud of us?"

Scores of the unwashed masses said: WHO LET THESE GUYS ON THE AIR AND WHY ARE WE LISTENING?

Tonight, Will and Alex are joined by our friend Nil from Polygon for a late-night research sesh full of insights, distractions, and deep dives.

Together, they review trending altcoins including SEI, INJ, STX, and more—breaking down recent price action, narratives, and whether any of these tokens are worth your attention right now.

Good now, revolutionaries—

This morning, Alex and Will kick things off with a look at the latest memecoin drama on Base. As Jesse Pollak tries to spark a wave of “content coins” on Zora, the community is firing back with some serious criticism—and the guys weigh in with takes on culture, incentives, and what really makes a token meaningful.

Later, Doug drops by to talk markets, gold’s performance, and how macro trends might be shaping crypto investor psychology.

They close out the show by tackling a big one: is technical analysis real or just modern astrology?
Alex and Will bring a nuanced conversation on where TA works, when it fails, and how it fits into a broader strategy.

Good now, revolutionaries—

Evan, Alex, and Will are back with a full-spectrum episode covering some of the most important questions in crypto right now.

They kick things off continuing their critique and curiosity around “content coins” and Jesse Pollak’s effort to spark a memecoin movement on Zora and Base. Then Will gives a live Bitcoin update, walking through the current chart, short-term expectations, and a few tips on reading TA properly (check out the YouTube recording to follow along with the visuals).

Alex shares a smart mental model for how to navigate markets that go up and down without losing conviction or chasing every pump—and the guys review a surprising Zoom exploit (and how to avoid it) before closing out with a conversation about crypto security and long-term storage: Should you really keep all your tokens onchain forever? 

It’s educational, opinionated, and packed with useful strategies from beginning to end.

Good now, revolutionaries—

Today’s episode comes straight from the DeFi barnyard with a full walkthrough of DeFiLlama’s newest features—farmer Alex shows you how to find yield farming opportunities, sort by risk and reward, and make smarter moves whether you're staking, lending, or providing liquidity (especially if you're trying it for the first time).

The guys unpack the pros, pitfalls, and real-world power of stablecoins—especially for business owners, freelancers, and folks living outside the U.S. We even explore how to access Euro-pegged stablecoins, and how to track down options across multiple chains.

Plus:
 🐮 Evan debuts a Will-inspired sound effect
🐱 Alex preps to drop more DeFi farming strategies for premium members in the Discord
🦙 And Will? He’s blowing 3 figures on T-shirts (the adoption application is open, but there's a waitlist)

It’s a lighthearted but educational look at earning passive income with your crypto!
