Talking Tokens: Crypto, Onchain Finance, Investing · Why Crypto Has a Brain Drain Problem | Dom & Phil Kwok · 30 Jul 2026 podcast

what what do we really need to give founders and it's really often just ten thousand dollars or twenty thousand dollars or thirty thousand dollars very very quickly within 24 to 72 hours to build out their idea and to take it to the next level so i think this is by far the most important thing it's that ai has made it possible to build anything but hasn't made it possible for anybody to actually access that funding and so we're trying to do what ai did to building uh really uh just the same thing but with funding

I think it already is.

I think every new startup being built today is being started off as a vibe coding project.

I think you're absolutely right.

I can kick it off.

And then obviously has a lot of experience having worked on Wall Street.

I think the big thing we've seen and just even over the past couple of days, we've been chatting with legislators as well with some big financial institutions.

And their reaction is still and honestly, it hasn't really changed too much over the past decade.

mentioned crypto they're like oh that's horrible like don't like that stuff very bad get it away from me should never have any any place in our system whatsoever but then you talk with the people who maybe have a bit more of a financial incentive and can gain a bit more from it on the other end of the spectrum that's retail but just in the middle it's actually traders and i've been really surprised a lot of my friends from cambridge

are now working in trading they are quants and they will even tell me about the craziest stuff that they trade like some of the like it's almost unimaginable that some of these funds with billions of dollars are trading fart coin like literal literal meme coins because they can make money off it and so i think it starts from there and we now are also seeing other big trading shops big commodity traders who are now looking at hyperliquid

as a way to hedge risk, especially because there's now 24-7 trading.

So I think that there's still a huge amount of opposition amongst the old guard, but I think that gradually people are just starting to realize that there are actual tangible benefits.

I think one of the big things that I've learned over the years is

You know, you can educate people so much.

Ultimately, there's a point at which you just need to show it, show them how they can gain from it.

I think that once they can see that, once they can see the money, so to speak, they just are instantly then converted.

And then they realize, oh, actually, you know what?

Okay, there's some corners of crypto which are outright scams.

You don't want to go anywhere near those.

And actually, there's a very nice technology underneath there.
