"If we do our job right, we’ll have done to the internet what solar panels did to electricity." — Neil Chatterjee, CEO of Andrena. In the next episode of the Proof of Talk Podcast, Mia Soarez (Mia) sits down with Neil Chatterjee (Neil Chatterjee), Founder & CEO of Andrena (Andrena) and DAWN (DAWN), to explore a bold vision: what if your internet connection could become a commodity, just like solar energy? This and much more! From the rise of #DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) to the dream of "Airbnb-ing your internet," Neil paints a future where bandwidth becomes a borderless, user-powered commodity.

820,000 followers don't lie. When the market seeks clarity and direction, Michaël van de Poppe is the person they trust. In 2022, while the market was deep in a downturn and institutions were still publicly skeptical, Michaël van de Poppe was already mapping what was coming. BlackRock adding Bitcoin to its funds. Grayscale's legal wins pointing straight to spot ETFs. The institutional wave that most analysts would only write about a year later. This wasn't luck. It was five years of work. He entered crypto in 2017. Went full-time after the 2018 crash, when most people were walking away. Built MN Academy into a real educational community. Then MN Fund and MN Capital, running macro-driven portfolios with one thesis: understand the cycle before the crowd does. His audience learned to do the same. They held through 70% drawdowns because he did it publicly with his own portfolio. They moved when the broader economic signals told them to. They acted on calls he had been mapping since the bear market. This June, Michaël van de Poppe brings that lens to the Louvre Palace. Live on stage, alongside the builders and allocators with $18T AUM in the room. Join him and other 2500 decision-makers in Web3 →
