In this episode of Ownership, 8bitpenis explores the deeper mechanics of crypto governance, token design, and capital formation in DeFi.

This conversation touches on: • Why token confidence is broken • Futarchy vs traditional governance • Ownership coins as a legal and economic structure • Revenue sharing vs growth reinvestment • The perps landscape and high-performance DeFi • What it takes to scale serious financial infrastructure on Solana Ownership is a podcast about capital formation in crypto and beyond.

Ownership Podcast S1 E9: Hunter (Laso)
Hunter from Laso Finance on private crypto prepaid cards, raising on MetaDAO, and the case for agentic commerce. We cover privacy at the point of spend, how Laso stays compliant with no ID upload, why the 4% of volume from AI agents may matter more than the 96% from humans, and why he's building agents to start businesses rather than to ease shopping. Plus Bitrefill, x402, and the on-chain endgame with Tempo and Plasma. Guest: Hunter, Laso Finance Host: 8bitpenis
Ownership Podcast S1 E8: Arad (Lightcone)
Arad, founder of Lightcone, makes the case for impact markets — permissionless decision markets that don't require the questions or assets to be ones you control. We cover Polymarket's origins as an "information markets" platform, why futarchy fails when proposals lack information, the two-universe mental model behind Lightcone's settlement, and why Arad believes the Oracle problem in prediction markets is really a market definition problem. Closing on insider trading across market types, why Lightcone is launching on Solana, and the political backlash he expects when election impact markets ship.

Ownership Podcast S1 E7: Proph3t (MetaDAO)
Proph3t, founder of MetaDAO, breaks down futarchy from first principles — a governance system where prediction markets, not token holders, decide what a protocol does. The conversation moves fast: from the origin story of MetaDAO to ownership coins, liquidating failing projects as a feature, insider trading risks in onchain governance, and buybacks as value accrual. Then it zooms out — Proph3t's actual goal is to apply futarchy beyond crypto, to corporations and eventually governments. If you've ever lost money to a rug and wondered if there's a structural fix, this episode is it. Sponsored by MetaDAO. Hosted by 8bitpenis. Produced by Blockformer.
