Everyone in crypto loves to say “banks are dead.”

But are they really?

In this episode, Dustin and Brandon break down what actually happens to banks in a Web3 world. Instead of disappearing, banks may evolve into something entirely different—operators of financial infrastructure, liquidity providers for decentralized markets, and validators of trust in programmable finance.

We talk about:

Why self-custody doesn’t replac...

AI is getting bigger.

Bigger models. Bigger data centers. Bigger energy demands.

But what if that’s the wrong direction?

In this episode, Dustin Hedrick and Brandon Billings challenge the trillion-parameter arms race and explore a different future — one built on Small Language Models (SLMs), decentralized storage, distributed compute, and blockchain coordination.

They break down:

The internet doesn’t need another topic of drama, our world leaders and the social elite already have that covered.

It needs better architecture.

In this episode, we break down the philosophy behind our white paper, “The Rails Beneath the R0AR — Backing the Web2 World with Web3 Infrastructure.”

For years, the industry has framed Web2 and Web3 as opposing forces — usability vs sovereignty, scale vs decentralization, convenience vs trus...

In this episode of Weekly R0AR, we take a step back from price charts, hype cycles, and empty buzzwords to revisit the core values of Web3—and where they came from.

Using George Gilder’s “10 Laws” from Life After Google as a framework, we explore how decentralization, truth, scarcity, incentives, and innovation were meant to reshape the internet—and how far we’ve drifted from that original vision.

We break down:
