Show highlights:

  • Ansem’s and Kel’s investment thesis around memecoins 
  • How Ansem and Kel got into trading memecoins and how they evaluate their potential
  • Why the coin distribution matters and whether tokenomics is important with memecoins
  • How to discern between memecoins with genuine vs. fake interest

  • Ansem and Kel’s responses to the criticisms of memecoins
  • Whether and how memecoins could become safer for users 
  • Kel and Ansem’s surprising reaction to racist and sexist memecoins 
  • Ansem's story on WIF and how a female friend of his fueled its popularity

Amarica's Constitution - Immunity versus The Rule of Law

This week we continue with clips from the oral argument in the immunity case (Trump v. United States).  Most of this week’s clips come from attorney Dreeben (representing the Special Counsel, and therefore the people of the United States), and some of the Justices have at him, sometimes in way Professor Amar finds wrong-headed or worse.  Our own argument is brought to bear upon these controversies, and a consistent way of addressing these questions emerges.  Clarity on the argument emerges.  CLE credit is available from podcast.njsba.com.

Little did he know that this material which could be made elastic when heated and molded into almost any shape imaginable would be the basis for an enormous percentage of the materials in common use in the 21st century.
