In this episode of Cypherpunk’d, we sit down with Mike Revy — former Lehman Brothers trader turned crypto founder — to unpack the hidden mechanics of money, credit, and the global financial system.

From surviving the 2008 financial collapse to discovering Bitcoin in its earliest days, Mike shares an unfiltered perspective on how Wall Street actually works — and why the current system may be fundamentally broken.

We dive into:

What really happened inside Lehman Brothers
The truth about investment banking and “the evil empire”
Why credit — not money — is the foundation of the global economy
How rehypothecation quietly powers (and risks) the financial system
Why Bitcoin solves money… but not credit
How Bulla Network is rebuilding finance on-chain
The future of decentralized credit, stablecoins, and global trade

This conversation goes beyond surface-level crypto takes — it’s a deep exploration of power, incentives, and what comes next.

Welcome to Cypherpunk’d — where we explore money’s history, crypto’s future, and Web3’s role in advancing freedom and digital sovereignty.
