Royalties are not dead, and the show makes the case that creators who keep shipping can still capture real recurring revenue. Using Good Vibes Club as the example, Chris and Cheezus point to recent royalty rankings alongside bigger collections like Pudgy Penguins and debate why teams turn fees off while chasing volume. The first half breaks down the current Abstract ecosystem, including how to check your activity, what behaviors are being rewarded, and how different apps stack together. It uses Myriad as the clearest walkthrough for how volume and participation turn into points and leaderboard positioning. It closes with a quick market check and community-driven tactics for navigating an incentive-heavy season.Subscribe:Coffee with Captain Newsletter: https://coffeewithcaptain.beehiiv.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@coffeewithcaptainshowFollow on X:Captain Zwingli: https://x.com/ChrisJourdanThis podcast is for entertainment purposes only.

Albert Prat, founder of Beself Brands and BeToken, joins the show to lay out what tokenized brands need to become real investable assets. He shares his ecommerce background, why low-minimum community participation matters and how profit participation changes the value proposition. Before the interview, the hosts hit an NFT temperature check with Azuki’s anniversary, Doodles moving and majors mostly flat, then use a story about a former NYC mayor rugging a memecoin to underline the credibility gap. They also briefly touch on gaming and how attention rotates across categories. The episode wraps by framing tokenized ownership models like BeToken as a potential alternative to the usual public market path.Subscribe:Coffee with Captain Newsletter: https://coffeewithcaptain.beehiiv.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@coffeewithcaptainshowFollow on X:Captain Zwingli: https://x.com/ChrisJourdanThis podcast is for entertainment purposes only.

Stablecoins became the central thread as Coinbase warned it could withdraw support for the CLARITY Act if lawmakers try to restrict stablecoin rewards beyond simple disclosure. The conversation framed this as a key US policy fight, with banking lobbyists pushing amendments that would block issuers from passing yield back to stablecoin holders. From there it zoomed out into incentives and market structure, including how reserve yield and credit dynamics shape who wins if stablecoins keep expanding as a 2026 meta. A quick check on the “privacy coin ban in Dubai” headlines landed as mostly noise, with Monero ripping and Zcash not doing what the doom headlines imply.Subscribe:Coffee with Captain Newsletter: https://coffeewithcaptain.beehiiv.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@coffeewithcaptainshowFollow on X:Captain Zwingli: https://x.com/ChrisJourdanThis podcast is for entertainment purposes only.

The show starts with a macro risk check, framing the morning’s 8:30 data and the Supreme Court tariff headline as the key drivers for positioning. It then hits the tape with Grayscale filing chatter and a quick read on Pump.fun’s claimed all time high volume, treating it as a “smell test” and discussing wash trading and airdrop incentives. From there, it pivots into the main block: Nike selling RTFKT to an unknown buyer and what the IP, patents, and authentication angle could mean for CloneX holders. Later, it touches the Zcash org shake-up and the cashZ wallet thread without fully resolving the facts live. It closes by zooming back out to institutional rails and practical positioning, with a reminder to keep the basics tight like funding a Roth IRA.Subscribe:Coffee with Captain Newsletter: https://coffeewithcaptain.beehiiv.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@coffeewithcaptainshowFollow on X:Captain Zwingli: https://x.com/ChrisJourdanThis podcast is for entertainment purposes only.
