Crypto doesn’t move in straight lines, it moves through moments.
In this episode of What The F 🎙️, Max Kaufman, founder of MomentumX Global, joins our Head of Strategy Toni Morales, to unpack how crypto evolved from niche speculation to cultural waves — and why the next chapter may look more like infrastructure than hype.
From sports betting and early internet-native communities to the NBA Top Shot era and the NFT boom, Max breaks down the “emotional ownership” layer that made people care, and how that energy is now being translated into real-world community, gaming, and new onchain consumer behaviors.
He also shares where he thinks the market is headed next: stablecoins as the quiet backbone of adoption, and the rails that can move crypto from cycles into everyday use.
