Good now revolutionaries— Monday morning and Will is back from Italy with a story: he was in a 35x Bitcoin short for two weeks while he was gone, lost 174% on that trade before he closed it Sunday night just ahead of what would have been a liquidation. Full 5-lesson post-mortem in this episode: don't leverage-trade while you're on vacation, don't hold a two-week position at 35x, don't fight your own conviction (he's been bullish since Aug 6), and pay attention to longer-timeframe closes (the ...

Good now revolutionaries— Thursday rounds out the week with Matthew the intern back for his twelfth(?) appearance. Today's House Republican-majority day is the last one before recess (Senate stays a bit longer). Three startups get demoed live. First: Packly (packly.gg), Alex's new favorite Pokemon pack-ripping platform — not gotcha slabs but actual booster packs at real prices ($6-$15), with a tempo streak mechanic where losing-streaks juice your next-pull odds up to +40%. Andrew from Reposa ...

2026/09/17

Good now revolutionaries— Danielle Lukens (Crypto Crush Show, Crush Insights, Crush Circle) joins from northern Bali on the night the Fed hikes 25bps in line with the 92% CME probability. Danielle has been calling the CBDC transition on-air for six years, and it's now confirmed: the digital Euro goes live in 2029, 140 countries are in pilot or development, and the first ratchet is the EU's ban on cash purchases over €10K — which will step down to €5K, €3K, €1K. Cash's endgame in the EU is ill...

Good now revolutionaries— Wednesday's show sits on top of the biggest macro morning of the week. The FOMC rate decision lands at 2pm ET; the CME Fed Watch is pricing a 92% probability of a 25 basis-point hike; Polymarket disagrees and is closer to zero. Trump has publicly threatened to immediately end trade with every country the US is running a deficit with if the Fed hikes — which is, per Will's tweet from Italy, the kind of statement where the two acceptable responses are 'ignore him, he's...

Cloture Failed: Post-Mortem on the Clarity Act Vote...

Rise Up Media ·

2026/09/16

Good evening revolutionaries— the cloture vote on the Clarity Act failed this afternoon, and Alex, Emily, and Lindsay run the post-mortem. Opening beat: Mitch McConnell's on-floor rigor-tortoise moment ('the funniest people on Earth don't get Netflix specials, they leave TikTok comments'). Substance: cloture only closed the door on this specific procedural motion — it doesn't kill the bill, and any senator who voted no can reintroduce it tomorrow if they want. The prevailing on-the-Hill senti...

Good now revolutionaries— the show that has been beating the Clarity Act drum for months finally gets the primary source on the mic. Hermine Wong (ex-SEC 2012-2019, ex-Coinbase, current Berkeley Law lecturer) is running the best objective explainer series on the bill anywhere on the internet. On cloture-vote day (2:15pm ET), she walks through what the vote actually is (voting to open floor debate — not voting on the bill), why cloture only exists as a procedure because Republicans don't fully...

Good now revolutionaries— Alex is back from a Dallas RNC side-event where he ended up on a Democrat-organized creator panel debating philosophy and religion instead of crypto (crypto only came up once — World Liberty + Trump/Melania meme tokens). Shout-out to Dennis Porter (Satoshi Action Fund) for the invite and to Kyla Turner (Not So Erudite, Take Back America tour) who architected the event.

Good now revolutionaries— Doug returns to close out the week with Evan for a tight two-hander. Cold open covers Doug decorating the bathroom, the PO Box (Box 32, Tybee Island, GA 31328) that Alex Popovich checks, and Pirate Fest October 8-10 on Tybee — the crew will all be there. Then straight into meme-coin trench tools: DEX Screener, Rick bot, Axiom, GMGN. Doug walks the $COSTCO hot-dog chart — 12x from a single wallet spark, complete crater afterwards, perfect example of why you never sell...

Good now revolutionaries— Two-and-a-half hours of After Dark with Evan and Matthew Wiley (Rise Up's intern-turned-research-analyst, one year in on Sept 10). Opens with the Hunter Biden $LAPTOP token — launched on Base overnight, hit a ~$300M market cap on paper, airdrop plan already mechanically broken (Base-native token can't reach the Solana wallets holding Trump-coin losses; real airdrop targets Hunter's Substack subscribers).

Good now revolutionaries— Wednesday's show doubled as the Beacon launch showcase and the deadline day for grandfathered $30/month premium pricing. Radio Dan (K-Nine) walks his own trading-journey origin story: met the crew 18 months ago while losing consistently, took Evan's advice in person, sold his ADA and XRP a week before the 10/10 crash, and has since gone through Wyckoff Theory and Elliott Wave to become one of the elite Beacon analysts. Doug (DeFi Doug) frames the Beacon as the 'unks'...

Evan follows with the Claude Design system for his new cover band, Push Play — brand system, promo templates, character-consistent images. Then the harder question: would you give an AI agent a credit card? Alex wou...

Good now revolutionaries— Labor Day solo edition of Market Watch. Will's back from the beach for a tight 17-minute market update. Doug's off enjoying the holiday properly, so Will keeps it simple: BTC's weekly candle just closed bullish above the 55-week EMA after a bearish weekly close two weeks prior. Monthly EMA support sits at $77.2K – $78.2K. Simple rule for September: if BTC ends the month above the 3-month 12-EMA at $72.1K, October is bullish. Below it, we stay in consolidation longer....

Good now revolutionaries— Evan and Alex are back from a week off the air on Labor Day. Alex just came off his first serious spelunking trip in Wisconsin (met Evan up there impulsively; Thai cave rescue lore mentioned), and the crew opens with a listener whose Tangent wallet got drained — a good jumping-off point for the reminder that most crypto losses are user error or software bugs, not glamorous hacks. Then the big one: Liquid Network, Bitcoin's DeFi-adjacent Layer 2, was exploited for 4,0...

Good now revolutionaries— Will Watson runs a short, caffeinated solo morning show — no Evan, no Alex (still Magic-tournament-marathoning in Milwaukee), just Will and the news. Coinbase and mortgage lender Better opened Fannie Mae-backed mortgages that let qualified US buyers pledge Bitcoin as their down payment instead of selling it — you have to over-collateralize at 250%, but if you're planning to hold the BTC for the full 30-year term anyway, it's a compelling way to buy a house without tr...

Good now revolutionaries— After Dark takes a full-episode detour from crypto tonight with Justin, Will's best friend from Vegas and a professional trading-card investor. Justin frames the entire TCG market through a portfolio lens: sealed product is bonds (slow, safe, guaranteed value); slabs are stocks (blue-chip vs penny — PSA, Beckett, CGC, and Tag each with different quirks); raw cards are the crypto tier (all upside, all risk). If you've been eyeing Pokemon, Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh, One Piece, L...

Good now revolutionaries— Evan flies solo Wednesday morning while Alex and Will are off, running through Bitcoin's biggest monthly gain since November 2024 (up 28% in August, back above $81K), the July PCE inflation print (headline 0.2% MoM / 3.7% YoY — slightly worse than expected; core 0.2% / 3.3% in-line), and the Treasury doubling its long-end bond buybacks to $4B+ — a dollar-weakening move that Standard Chartered's Jeff Kendrick says reactivates the debasement trade.

Good now revolutionaries— Evan + Will (Alex out on his spelunking + reunion trip) open with the Pengu IPO rumor. If Pudgy Penguins (parent = Igloo) IPOs, the Pengu meme coin is functionally dead — 'who's going to buy the meme coin when you can buy the stock?' Expect a rally in the entire Pudgy ecosystem into the IPO announcement. The airdrop-history debate settles: Pengu distributed ~1.45B, Hyperliquid ~2B. Hyperliquid is the record-holder — although Pengu's went to Pudgy Penguin NFT holders ...

Good now revolutionaries— Will's solo Market Watch tonight (no Doug), opening with the audience's top-three-cryptos-for-the-next-bull-cycle question. Will's answer: Bitcoin, Solana, Hyperliquid — with a variant that swaps Solana for Aerodrome + Morpho if you want more asymmetric upside. Frame for the moment: you've survived the bear, we're at the tail end of consolidation, the bull market starts once Bitcoin flips $83K to support. Blue-chip build-the-foundation phase — get your BTC, ETH (if i...

Good now revolutionaries— Will opens with the magic-show weekend that reminded him and Violet exactly how badly the iPad-baby generation has forgotten how to talk to strangers (the 50-and-up crowd runs conversational laps around them, effortlessly). Then straight into the on-chain sleuthing: LookOnChain caught a World Liberty Financial wallet adding single-sided-Trump-token liquidity to Uniswap pools and quietly draining the USDC side as the trades filled — Alex's diagnosis: baby's first rug ...

Rise Up Media ·

2026/08/20

Good now revolutionaries— The full crew's back for the Thursday close-out. Bitcoin is still in consolidation and Will's frame is straightforward: below $72K we're in the same 6-month range, don't be shocked to see a trip back to $62K where Binance's liquidations are magnet-strong. If you're feeling FOMO, that's the signal to DCA over two months on a schedule — not to blow the load. Alex's After Dark short position closed the way it should have (following his rules, not the inverse-Alex signal...
