The Crypto Carrot, The Banana DeadZone, and You

Get video interview episodes when you subscribe to my newsletter!

September is being staged like a play — with a rate cut carrot dangled in front of retail, Coinbase hyping a so-called Banana Zone, and a wave of new investors set up to believe in Altseason as if every token were a hero. But this isn’t the Rebel Alliance. Some coins are bounty hunters. Some are traps. And the Banana Zone can just as easily turn into a Banana DeadZone if you’re not careful.

In this episode, I break down how to spot the setups, why the carrot narrative matters, and what it means for you before the next move. And at the end, I’ll spotlight Lagrange LA — an Ethereum verification layer with Intel and Mantle ties that fits my thesis: verifiable before valuable.
