Bitcoin as "digital gold" is either the most brilliant rebranding in financial history or complete nonsense.. and we're not sure which yet.
Gold has been around for thousands of years. It sits there, does nothing, and somehow maintains value. Bitcoin? It's basically a teenager having mood swings every few hours. Calling them equivalent feels like comparing a Rolex to a smartwatch; sure, they both tell time, but one's going to need a software update next week.
Whether Bitcoin actually becomes the stable store of value everyone keeps talking about depends on whether it can shake off its reputation as digital gambling chips. The smart money says it will. The skeptics say it's all just very expensive speculation with extra steps.
Either way, we're watching something historic happen, or, the most expensive bubble in human history slowly deflate.

We sat down with Stashway's Chief Investment Officer to talk about his winding path from coding to calling the shots on investments. Turns out, making the jump from computer science to finance gave him a pretty unique lens on the whole game - one that becomes especially valuable when markets stop making sense.
That tech background really shows when he walks us through what it's like trying to invest during those black swan moments that make even the smartest strategies look foolish. His approach to these unexpected events naturally led us into discussing why getting your asset allocation right matters more than ever when nobody knows what's coming next.
This is where things get interesting. To make sense of today's investment landscape, he's conceptualized what he calls the FAT framework (Fiscal Dominance, AI, and Trump); basically the three big forces he thinks are shaping where money should go right now. The first piece of this puzzle, fiscal dominance, had him spending considerable time explaining how America's massive debt problem isn't just a political talking point, but something that's actually changing how smart money thinks about investing.
From there, our conversation naturally shifted to practical implications. We dove into why gold keeps coming up in serious investment conversations (hint: it's not just for doomsday preppers), which connects directly to how interest rates and the whole AI revolution might completely reshape economic growth.

What happens when the guy writing the rulebook decides to tear it up and start his own game?
We caught up with Mohammad Ridzuan Abdul Aziz, who's had one hell of a career arc. He went from watching over Malaysia's markets at Bursa to jumping headfirst into the startup world - insurtech, digital banking, compliance tech, you name it. But this isn't your usual "I quit my corporate job to follow my dreams" story.
Ridzuan's got this unique angle: he thinks like a regulator when he builds companies, and it turns out that's actually a massive advantage. We talked about why he's convinced B2B is the way to go in Malaysia (spoiler: B2C is brutal here), why everyone's obsession with becoming the next unicorn is kind of missing the point, and how things like AI and tokenization are not just creating more noise but genuinely changing the game.
The conversation gets real about what it's like building in smaller markets, how easy it is to get trapped thinking too locally, and why Malaysian entrepreneurs might actually have more going for them than most people realize.

Everyone’s either ignoring crypto or pretending they understand it. So I brought in Fuad from Halogen Capital to unpack what’s real, what’s hype, and what might be the biggest financial shift since... well, ever.
We get into why inflation is eating your savings alive, why fixed income isn’t as “safe” as you think, and how Bitcoin keeps creeping into boardrooms no one’s talking about.
Fuad breaks down how digital assets are quietly becoming a hedge for the smart money—while the rest of us argue about whether it’s “too volatile.”
If you think crypto’s still just a fad, you need to hear this. If you're already in? Might be time to rethink how you're playing the game.

What if playing it safe is your biggest risk? In this episode, Ian Reynolds pulls back the curtain on his leap from the safe world of traditional finance into the wild ride that is crypto.
We get into why Bitcoin matters way more than most people think. Not just some magic internet money, but a hedge against a shaky global economy. We talk market cycles, why gold still holds its place, and what’s coming with tokenized real-world assets.
And here’s a twist you probably didn’t expect: older generations are jumping onto Bitcoin faster than you’d guess. Ian also shares why now is not the time to sit on the sidelines if you care about where your money’s headed.
This one will challenge what you think you know about money, risk, and the future of investing.

Are we misreading what it means to build something that lasts?
In this episode, we sit down with the former founder of Fave & KFit, Chen Chow, who’s walked through fire: broke, lost, doubted—but never boring. From hustling with broken English to pitching investors with nothing but brutal honesty, their story punches right through the clichés.
We talk about knowing when to fight for your startup and when to bury it with dignity. About staying real when everyone’s faking it. About why sometimes, the best kind of help is the one that shows up quietly, without fanfare.
You’ll hear the unfiltered truth on fundraising, founders burning out, and why Malaysia’s startup scene still feels like it’s waiting to grow up. We also dive into AI, shifting work culture, and why Gen Z just isn’t built for 9-to-5 obedience.

We’ve all heard politicians talk about helping people, but what happens when someone actually means it?
Dr. Michael Jeyakumar isn’t your typical politician. He’s not slick, not hungry for power, and definitely not here to sell you a dream. In fact, he stepped away from the noise because he couldn’t stand how broken the system is.. and how comfortable we’ve all become living in it.
In this episode, we talk about the messiness of politics in Malaysia. The lies we tell ourselves about progress. The strange obsession our leaders have with looking rich while the country crumbles quietly in the background.
But it’s not all doom. We also talk about hope; real, gritty, imperfect hope. The kind that lives in ordinary people doing quiet things. This one’s not for people who love the status quo. It’s for the ones who know something’s off, and are ready to think about what comes next.

We dive into the wild, unpredictable jungle that is Malaysian politics, where East Malaysia (yep, Sabah and Sarawak) holds way more weight than most people realize. It's not just about policies anymore — it’s a chaotic mix of big egos, big money, and fragmented voices pulling in every direction. From the sway of the Malay vote to the structural mess nobody wants to fix, we unpack why political "stability" feels more like a myth.
Spoiler: real change might just come from the youth finally getting tired of the same old political drama.
