Earn Passive Income with Crypto (Without Trading)? | Internet Explorers Ep. 67

Earn Passive Income with Crypto (Without Trading)? | Internet Explorers Ep. 67

What if holding crypto actually made you money—without trading, staking, or flipping NFTs?

In this episode of Internet Explorers, co-hosts Jess Sloss, Josh Cornelius, and Peace Node sit down with Brian Flynn (CEO of Boost.xyz) to explore the rise of tokens designed to pay holders real value.

For years, crypto has been driven by speculation—but that might be changing. A new model is emerging, where tokens generate real revenue and share it with holders. But does it work? Will it replace traditional tokenomics? And what does it mean for the future of crypto?

This episode unpacks:

  • What's Broken in Crypto? Why most tokens don't provide real value.
  • How Tokens Can Actually Pay You – The mechanics behind revenue-generating tokens.
  • Buy & Burn vs. Direct Payouts – Which model is better for holders?
  • How Crypto Projects Are Changing – Why teams are rethinking token incentives.
  • The Future of Passive Income in Crypto – Can this become a sustainable model?

Other topics explored:

  • Big shifts in consumer crypto
  • Should internet pictures have market caps?
  • Slow Ventures investing in creators
  • Should you bring traditional businesses onchain?
  • OpenSea's attempts at a rising tide for $SEA
