The Wolf Of All Streets

Matej Zak, CEO of Trezor, joins the show to break down why most Bitcoin holders still don’t truly own their Bitcoin. We dive into the biggest misconceptions around ETFs, exchanges, and “convenience custody,” why centralized platforms remain honeypots for hackers, and how the largest crypto hack last year proves the risk isn’t gone. Matej explains the origin of the seed phrase, the evolution of hardware wallets, post-quantum security, and why AI-powered phishing may be a bigger threat than quantum computing itself. This is a deep conversation on privacy, sovereignty, regulation, and why self-custody isn’t just a feature of Bitcoin... it’s the point.

In this Crypto Town Hall episode, hosts unpack intense market volatility from Middle East tensions, surging oil prices (Brent >$91), and the Strait of Hormuz closure sparking global panic. Bitcoin holds resilient near $68K–$70K amid risk-asset selloffs, while panelists debate bear-market bounces, recession risks from reversed wealth effects, and bullish duration trades in Treasuries. Key topics include banking lobby resistance to stablecoin yields/Clarity Act progress, Kraken’s Fed master account milestone, Ledn’s groundbreaking S&P investment-grade rating for Bitcoin-backed ABS bonds, AI-driven job disruption, and the urgent need for U.S. regulatory clarity to prevent offshore innovation loss.

Crypto markets are facing a wave of negative sentiment as macro uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, and regulatory battles weigh on investor confidence. Bitcoin has struggled to maintain momentum as global markets react to rising conflict risks in the Middle East, weakening economic data like the unexpected loss of 92,000 U.S. jobs, and renewed debates in Washington over crypto regulation. At the same time, mixed signals from regulators and traditional finance — including ongoing stablecoin legislation fights, SEC guidance on crypto assets, and continued skepticism from major banking leaders — are adding to market anxiety. With liquidity tightening and risk appetite fading, traders are increasingly asking whether this is simply another shakeout before the next rally or the beginning of a deeper crypto market correction.
