From there, Cap makes the case for an “NFT Season 2.0” that looks less like another wave of PFP launches and more like NFTs borrowing ideas fr...

The story shifts again when FWA responds during the show, turning the discussion toward buybacks, communication and how much f...

  StonkBrokers Builds Beyond the Floor 03.08.2026 2t 38min

  Cap opens with a personal recap of touring FAU with his daughter before turning to StonkBrokers and the argument that its rise is about more than another NFT floor run. Simple Farmer joins to explain how the launchpad, tokenized-stock rewards and support for outside builders are designed to reinforce one another, with new products already forming around the project. The conversation looks past the price action to ask whether this model can bring back the onchain experimentation and stronger h...

  Robin Agent Pays Builders, AI Voice Scams Hit Home 24.07.2026 1t 49min

  NFT Marketplaces Miss Collectors, Pokémon Collectors Reload 17.07.2026 2t 19min

Joey later explains why Pokémon and One Piece collectors are freeing up cash ahead of major anniversary sets, while MegaETH’s decision to wind d...
