Summary
This week’s NFA Podcast breaks down what actually happened at Token2049 in Dubai: more escorts than engineers, overcrowded venues, and 530 side events. Nish shares stories from the crypto trenches, Abu Dhabi’s investment into Binance via the Trump Family’s vehicle World Liberty Finance. We also talk about the scandal around Movement Labs, why Apple’s AI promise is still vaporware, how Zuvu is building the AI orchestration layer we need, and ex-OpenAI CTO Mira Murati’s new startup Thinking Machines Lab with full Andreessen Horowitz backing and her 100% control. Plus: AI chip stock moves, Eric Trump’s take on banks, and tokenized marble bunkers in the Italian mountains.
