From the publisher
Making sense of the digital economy—through the people building it. Where builders talk freedom, not price. The Crypto Hipster Podcast features conversations with founders, entrepreneurs, and independent creators shaping what comes next. This is not a traditional interview show. These are perspective-driven conversations focused on insight, conviction, and the realities of building in a rapidly changing world. We go beyond headlines, beyond hype, and beyond price—to explore ownership, freedom, and opportunity in the digital economy. Some episodes are conversations. Some are reflections. All are designed to help you understand what’s being built—and why it matters.
