    Live From the Trading Trenches With Easy

    23/08/2026 | 53 min
    How do you trade without getting rekt? Easy has been through basically every version of the trenches: early crypto, Top Shot, NFTs, meme coins, perps, equities, and the kind of trading run that takes you from $15K to $600K and back to zero.

    He joins Matt Medved to talk about what those cycles taught him, where he's actually putting money now, and why he's resisting the urge to chase a market that's suddenly ripping again. The conversation also gets into the machinery behind Not So Easy Money, from building a content business to automating his daily workflow with AI.

    What's inside:

    How Easy turned roughly $15K into $600K, then went from euphoria to zero in about 40 hours
    Why he's keeping meaningful cash on the sidelines even as the market rallies
    His positions in Solana, HYPE, NEAR, Robinhood, and the levels he's watching next
    The difference between learning from other traders and blindly copy trading
    Why overtrading, not finding opportunities, has been his biggest problem lately
    The macro dashboard he checks every morning before touching a trade
    How meme coins became an unlikely real-time news feed
    Building Not So Easy Money and his "three E's" framework for content: education, entertainment, and equity
    Turning livestream dead air into a new sponsorship product
    The AI systems behind his operation, including automated meme coin recaps, morning briefs, Codex, Claude, and OpenClaw

    How to Get Ahead With AI: Zeneca Says Do Less, Better

    17/06/2026 | 1 h 4 min
    How to use AI to get ahead, from someone who actually does it every day.

    Matt Medved sits down with Zeneca to break down how he uses these tools and how anyone else can too. Zeneca introduces Yoshi, the AI agent he treats as a co-founder, and the gamified Stardew Valley-style dashboard he built to beat his own ADHD and stay consistent.

    They get into his Dota 2 prediction model built in Claude Code, why domain knowledge is the only durable edge in prediction markets, and the two-Mac stack he runs across GPT-5.5, Hermes and Opus. Zeneca explains the Anthropic crackdown that forced everyone to rethink their setups, his thesis on AI and privacy coins, and why less is more beats ten open terminal windows.

    His advice for getting started is simple. Pick one boring task. Hand it to AI. Learn by doing.

    In this conversation:
    – Going all in on AI and what actually changed
    – Building Yoshi and the case for an AI co-founder
    – The gamified dashboard that fixed his consistency problem
    – A Dota 2 prediction model and the hunt for a real edge
    – His current agent stack and the Anthropic OAuth crackdown
    – The AI and privacy coin thesis
    – How to monetize what you already know in prediction markets
    – Dashboards and external memory as workflow hacks

    Are AI Agents the New Media Business Model?

    22/05/2026 | 1 h
    Michael Blau left a16z Crypto to build Drip, a marketplace where AI agents pay writers per article. No subscriptions. Just micropayments, settled on-chain, every time an agent reads.

    The thesis: everyone's about to give their ChatGPT or Claude a wallet, and when they do, those agents will need somewhere to buy premium analysis. Drip lets Substack and newsletter writers sell their work to agents on a pay-per-read basis, starting with finance and tech. Writers set their own price. A trading agent might buy 100 articles for pennies each before it ever places a trade.

    Matt Medved sits down with Blau to get under the hood of agentic commerce and what it means for the media model.

    In this conversation:
    – How Drip works and why it's additive to subscriptions, not a replacement
    – Why micropayments need stablecoins (credit cards can't process a one-cent transaction)
    – The x402 standard and why it feels like the early NFT/ERC-721 days
    – Investor brain vs. founder brain, and lessons from Marc Andreessen and Chris Dixon
    – The three ways to play the agent economy: be the wallet, sell to agents, or own discovery
    – Blau's personal AI stack: Codex, "brain folders," and switching off Claude overnight

    An AI-Generated Epstein Files Podcast Just Hit 3.5 Million Downloads

    20/05/2026 | 29 min
    Adam Levy built the first fully synthetic podcast to top the UK charts. His Neural Broadcast Network has crossed 3.5 million downloads with no human hosts.
    It started with a 48-hour thought experiment. The DOJ dropped a fresh tranche of Epstein files and Levy pointed Claude at the stack. Seven days after publishing, The Epstein Files had 100,000 downloads. WarDesk, Rex, and Neurodivergent followed. The catalog now pulls 70,000 downloads a week.

    In this conversation with Matt Medved:
    – How a tool for personal use became a media company
    – What "trustless media" means and why Levy borrowed the phrase from crypto
    – The legacy-press backlash and his response to it
    – Building toward an autonomous newsroom that produces series on demand
    – Where the synthetic-media audience is heading next
