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.

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.

Tonight on Rise Up After Dark, Evan, Will, and Alex are joined by Lindsay Poss (@LindsayPoss), host of the Seeking Alpha Podcast (@theSeekingAlphaPod) and part of the team at Stellar Development Foundation, for a live research session, crypto commentary, and deep dives into macro and market narratives. The crew unpacks stablecoin regulation, token valuation frameworks, global political tension, and how to build better communities and media in web3.

Later in the episode, Evan’s Crypto the Game comrade Brian “B Smokes” Smokovic (@BSmokes_), founder of PistachioFi (@PistachioFi), joins to share what they’re building to help onchain investors "Protect their Nut." With discussions ranging from DeFi dashboards and altcoin plays to centralized banking woes and the value of transparency, this episode is packed with game and good vibes.
