Jillian Hishaw On Private Equity, Bankruptcy & The Bitcoin Clawback Case | Ep 544

Good now revolutionaries— Will Watson and Alex are joined by Jillian Hishaw for a wide-ranging Tuesday. Jillian's a bankruptcy attorney whose social platform quietly turned into one of the country's sharpest expose feeds on private equity's encroachment against small business. A congresswoman is now hitting her up to talk about protecting local businesses. Great segue into where crypto tokenization is either part of the answer or part of the same problem.The bankruptcy walkthrough is worth the whole show. Chapter 7, 13, 11 (corporations like Walmart), 12 (farmers and fishermen), 15 (foreign like Alibaba) — clean explanations, real cases, current data. Filings up 46% in a year, which is NOT typical. Plus the case that should scare anyone paid in crypto for consulting or contract work: hashtag technologies (California bankruptcy court). The trustee used the clawback provision to reclaim Bitcoin paid to a marketing vendor six months before the company went under. Called it a fraudulent transaction. Actionable warning for anyone taking BTC as compensation from a struggling client.Macro read: Coinbase premium purchases are WAY DOWN. Demand is weakening but price is staying flat — the setup for a leg-down if support finally gives. On policy: Clarity Act passed but has NO kickoff date. Same story as the Genius Act — one year mark crossed, still nothing enforced. Enforcement agencies have to write the policy before any of it matters. Polymarket odds tracking the timing.Base / Coinbase saga continues: Jesse Pollock has STEPPED BACK from the Base app. Kobe has been appointed. Community sentiment: "Don't squander our trust." Brian Armstrong's post added fuel. Kraken still sitting quietly as the credible-exchange play.
