Vibes

In this episode of The C Word, titled “Vibes”, we ride the rollercoaster of crypto, AI, and financial chaos with a healthy dose of skepticism and side-eye. We kick things off with Trump’s tariff fallout and the drama of buying the dip (or failing to), before diving into shady insider trading, anonymous blockchains, and the UK's maybe-imaginary stablecoin. Kio recounts the glorious flop that was his crypto night school, we unpack the rise of MEV bots (a.k.a. blockchain’s gremlins), and wonder if your wallet got hacked or if you just pressed the wrong button. Then it’s all about Vibe Coding—what it is, how it works, and whether it’s the beginning of a beautiful human-machine partnership or the end of your job. If you’ve ever asked yourself “Is this progress or just vibes?”—this one’s for you.
