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?

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.

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.
