The blocmates Podcast

563 joins Lazer and Alex this week to join the discussion around this week's news of the Kelp hack and the LayerZero fall out. 

We're talking about the impact on DeFi as a whole and how we recover from the contagion. That's as well as getting into Cobie's latest appearance on threadguy's stream and what we took from that, TLDR: net positive for a multitude of reasons.

Oh and also why creepy anons are moaning about ladies posting selfies on CT while simultaneously simping them with public comments asking 'Dubai?'

Hope you enjoy it. Grant's back next week, give us a like and stuff like that. Cheers.

This week we're covering the attempted Molotov (and gunfire) attacks on Sam Altman's home, why Ben Pasternak might be cooked as the class action against him heats up (and why Evelyn Ha reportedly walking away is somehow the bigger story online), and the insane Colossus piece on Jeff and why this could be bullish HYPE.

Alex and Lazer also get into why sentiment has flipped overnight with BTC back at $74K, the tokens they've actually been nibbling on-chain this week, why the Tether wallet ad is one of the worst pieces of marketing in crypto history, and how crypto has quietly become the fashion industry.

Lazer has joined the blocmates podcast as our new and semi-permanent guest. We’re discussing the recent Citrini article on the Strait of Hormuz, why EthCC was kind of good but also bad. 

How to get a job in crypto, where the real people are, how to play these market conditions and why the key to unlocking privacy tech might be hidden in the consumption of adult entertainment.

In this episode, we break down one of the most important shifts happening right now: the rise of AI agents and the infrastructure being built to support them.

We’re joined by the founder of AgentMail, a company that just raised $6M to build the communication layer for AI agents. What starts as email for agents quickly turns into something much bigger a vision for an entirely new internet, built not for humans, but for agents.
