  Speaker 1: an additional discount, and get started on your self custody journey.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: All right, let's go over to a couple of things today.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: COBEEC wrapping up a little bit of an analysis here.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: FED pivot is officially dead and one of the things
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: that they're really focused in on here. Stocks are crashing
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: after US added nearly one hundred thousand jobs more than
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: expected in December, and of course unemployment fell now down
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: to four point one. So this is just after the
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: FED said the labor market was weakening. So I'm curious
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: where is chairpal getting his data from if he thinks
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: that the market is weakening, and then we ended up
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: pumping in jobs and basically lowering our unemployment rates. So
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I think with all of that, you have to kind
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: of consider the situation on what's happening right now in
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the economy, and that is the economy is stronger, We're
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: in continued to see in inflation situation play out in
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, and all of this, I think is
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: going to continue to push people to the non inflationary
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: products out there, which is digital assets and others. So
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Peterschiff even says dollars should not be higher on today's
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: strong job report or a rising nominal bond. You'll instead
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: traders should focus on the eminent collapse of real interest
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: rates as the Fed fails to sufficiently raise interest rates
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: or step up on the QT to fight the rekindle
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: inflation fire. I think that is a factor, and Peter
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: is actually kind of right here. I think you are
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: going to see a lot of people evacuating into gold,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: and especially if we continue to see inflation run. The
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: real question will be as if the Fed actually raises
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: rates this year. Many people have said that's just not
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: going to happen, that's just not going to happen. Well,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: inflation can change the minds of people very quickly. Bank
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: of America revises their forecast no longer expects any Fed
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: interest rate cuts in twenty twenty five zero. So if
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: you think that's happening here in the first two weeks
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: of January without seeing inflation numbers coming through the first quarter,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: look at how quick these big banks and these analyst
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: will pivot in the next sixty to ninety days. So
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: a lot happening, you're for sure. Given, And of course
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: their statement is they're looking at the jobs report also
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: as being the big factor here. It is so funny
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: because to me, a lot of these analysts seem to
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: be very reactive on this stuff. It's like they don't
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: see these things coming. And I don't understand that because
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: these are somewhat I think fairly easy to pick out
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: in terms of where inflation continues to be very sticky.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: The one that I always watch, and this is when
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: I tell you guys to go watch. If you just
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: track truflation and go into the food away from home category,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: go look at that. If you just look purely at that,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: which is one of the biggest industries out there, it's
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: over a trillion dollars almost like one point two trillion
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: here in the US. If you follow that, all you
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: see is upward trends on costs, and that is inflation
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: starting to invade into the American people. All right, I
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: want to go to a quick video or a clip here.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: This is going to get into no cuts and why
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: it might happen. Take a look.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: It's like you come home and your daughter kisses you,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: and you say, I'm afraid you're not gonna love me
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: in the future. I mean, right now, Joe you got
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: really good job.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: You're just arguing with you argue with the markets, don't.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not. I'm just I'm just why is
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: it happening? Then, I'm just saying, just talk about what
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: is not. First, First, you're right. You're right in the
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: sense that the FED had pushed aside this notion that
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: employment was a potential source of inflation. These kind of
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: numbers kind of bring it back in the sense that
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: the the payroll numbers themselves are hot. Unemployment rate has
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: been you know, dancing around this for one, four, two numbers.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: But but I don't want to awfualize this number, Joe.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: I just think it's the world has to You don't
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: have to. I mean the market can. I don't think
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: it's to awfulize it. Okay, I'm gonna argue with no cuts.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna put no cuts, no cuts. I think it's
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: no cuts. I think that's right.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: It means people have jobs. I'm starting to just think
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: this is a healthy labor market and we might have
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: to come to terms with the fact that anyway, inflation
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: isn't as low as the FED would like. This might
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: just be where inflation is and where where our new
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: equal rate of inflation, which is bad news for the
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: FED because I think they're very anxious to cut.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: All right, So as you can see, this is a
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: big scenario that is playing out here in the first
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: quarter of twenty twenty five. If we do see inflation
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: stick around and continue its track up, I think bitcoins
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: are going to be continuing to be a good place.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: And when you look at digital assets, they'll carry on
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: to the bitcoin, you know, coattails, because bitcoin will be
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: a big part of this. Then investors will be looking
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: to all coins and other assets out there in the
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: digital sphere, so all playing well into everything but the dollar.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: So if you take a look at true inflation right here,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: you can kind of see this dip. Of course, we
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: saw that toward the end of last year, and I
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: think that is when the FED made its unfortunate mistake
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: thinking that they had conquered inflation. And of course since
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: then we've risen from what was a one point seventy
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: three to where we're holding right now, getting ready to
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: crack into three here on January tenth. But we've already
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: seen that height at three point ho seven at the
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: end of last year. So this all plays into digital assets.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: I believe it also could play into gold. There's a
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: lot of alternative assets to the dollar that will start
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: to play out. And remember this all depends on the
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: administration that's coming in and how quickly they try to
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: do things. If they go into tariffs, could we see
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: in these sanctions almost could we see more pressure on
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: the American economy from an inflation standpoint. And even with that,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: it's very possible that there could even be things like
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: a revaluation of gold, which would really put some pressure
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: on the dollar that is basically deflating the main primary
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: currency away. So all this very very heated twenty twenty five.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: I think it's going to be one of the most
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: active years we've seen. Yes yet. Speaking of other assets
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: out there, one that we've continue to watch is a
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: little bit what's happening with the TikTok situation. And of
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: course TikTok is going to have a primary effect on
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: what we think is going to be one of the
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: biggest blockchain projects out there, being Polka Dot. You've heard
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: us talk about this before. Well, we're only eight days
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: away from this band and there is a lot of
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: things happening around this now we're going to do a
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: full video of it for you guys on Monday, because
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: today is a very critical day. The judge is actually
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: hearing a rebuttal from the TikTok lawyers right now. All
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: of that is going to be breaking down. In the
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: likelihood of Kevin O'Leary and the team over there, we
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: may see with Frank mccourry, we may see a move
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: quickly over the weekend, So be on your seats watching
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: for that one. Let's go into another thing, and that
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: is strategic bitcoin reserves. Now, right here is the breaking
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: news that Dennis Porter was kind of hinting to on
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: our show the other day. New Hampshire introduces legislation to
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: adopt a strategic bitcoin reserve. Now, granted, this is New Hampshire,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: and I will say, all right, it's not a major state.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: But you've got to think about the United States differently
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: than the rest of the world, because when you look
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: at the tweet that he follows up with right here,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: there are four states in the United States that count
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: for four of the fifteen largest economies in the world.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: There are one hundred and eighty countries. So think about
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: that for a second, guys. If we get one of
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: those four states as a bitcoin reserve target. That is
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: a top ten GDP. That's pretty huge, and that right
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: there alone could be pretty significant in terms of a
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: bitcoin reserve, especially at the state level. So I'll be
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: talking to Dennis more about that because he is on
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: the front lines of all that good stuff. Jacob Camfield here,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: I think we can all agree that this price on
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: the action of the bitcoin is total garbage. It looks
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: like the most it's mostly just algoes fighting each other
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: on the low time frames. And we talked about this,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: actually I tweeted about this this morning and if you
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: looked at the hourly let me go over to the Yeah,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: look at this hourly chart right here. Guys. This started
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: right there early night and through the night, literally the
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: hourly just on the market makers moving into this pattern
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: on bitcoin. So it seemed as though they were just
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: done with bitcoin falling and move the market into the
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: positive direction, which right now we're up about two point
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: four or five on the day for bitcoin. But another
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: along with that, Ethereum also moved up XRP of course
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: kind of sideways, but have that this is on the
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: hourly charts for most of these Solana had a very
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: similar move, and then Avax also some very similar moves.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: So interesting that this is all happening right now, especially
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: going into Trump's inauguration, which is just coming around the corner.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Ethereum also under pressure, as Fidelity is transferring two hundred
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: and thirteen million Eth to an exchange. A couple of
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: points within this two hundred million worth of crypto, especially
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: on Eth being transferred over to coin based the last
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: forty eight hours. That's a big deal when you look
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: at Eth transfers in general. So could Eth be in
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: a position where we might see some sell offs on
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: ethereum other things that are playing out right now. Spot
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: pitcoin ETFs were approved exactly a year ago today and
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: they now hold one hundred and nine billion in bitcoin.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: That's the most successful ETF and launch, and I think
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: that we're probably going to maybe even go above that
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five because I think the scenario that's
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: playing out with Wall Street and inflation and the value
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: of the dollar. Watched the Dixie very closely, because I
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: think the ETFs are probably going to be a flight
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: to safety for all this. And remember we've heard many
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: people say this, including Larry Fink, have talked about this
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: bit wise. They're coming in with a new survey of
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: financial advisors and their attitudes toward crypto assets. All right,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: a couple of key points within this that are cool.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Crypto emerged strong winner twenty twenty four to fifty six
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: percent of advisors said they were more likely to invest
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: in crypto in twenty twenty five. Just the beginning of
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: last year. That was I think it was less than
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: ten percent. Crypto allocations doubled year over year, new high.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: And then you look at ninety six. This is interesting
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: right here. Ninety six percent of advisors received a question
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: about crypto from clients last year. Ev frigets in this space.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: One of my best friends out there, any told me
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: not ninety days ago that he wasn't getting questions in
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, we're seeing a shift in
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: that quickly. So very interesting last quarter, very critical for
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: the future of digital assets. Ninety nine percent of advisors
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: currently have an allocation to crypto in client account plans
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: now maintain or increase their exposure in twenty twenty five,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: So that's another one. Access remains a major barrier to adoption.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know that that is true. Completely because I
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: feel like most anybody wants to buy bitcoin understand how
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: to get to it. I get it for the fact
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: that there are a lot of family offices things like
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: that that have problems in being able to go into
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: major over the OTC transactions. Maybe that's what they're talking about.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Crypto Equity ETFs continue to be the advisor's top choice,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: which is one of the reasons because it's a very
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: easy access to a lot of the bigger clients out there.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: So definitely a good news for all of that. Further
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: into that, I want to go over here. AI agents
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: is still one of the hottest things right now in
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: terms of the DEXes. This is where most everything is
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: being accumulated. If you look at a couple of points
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: within this AI market is down from its peak valuation
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: around seventeen billion. It's down. So could that mean that
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: this is a great opportunity to jump in if you
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: do believe in the AI agent scenario. Buying volumes point
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: to accumulation for some of the agents and previously grab
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: community attention. We've seen this kind of continued to move.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: You've seen most of these, but remember there's a lot
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: of new listings that are starting to show up on Binance.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: This is a big factor because we start to see
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: these listings come in to Binance, especially around these agents,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: and I think it starts to carry over many of
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: the others because you're going to see communities saying, oh, well,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: maybe they're coming in to Binance or quoity. It's wherever
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: it might be for top listings. And there's the AI
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: agent token market capitalization you can kind of see coming
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: off of that sixteen billion down to ten right now,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: So are we in that position where this could be
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: a buying opportunity. Very interesting stuff. One of the note
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: right here is just the trading volume up almost twenty
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: percent to two point two bill So you can kind
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: of see the trends coming there. Not necessarily a lot
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: of them. You guys have probably if you follow our show,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: we actually have been talking to about quite a few
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: of the agents that we're watching. For the ones that
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: maybe are brand new on this, just check out virtuals protocol.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: That's probably the easiest if you want to kind of
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: move in the base ecosystem, that's the way to go.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: If you go over into the avalanche ecosystem, go to
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Pharaoh and you can kind of see a little bit
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: more action over there on that deck, so of what's
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: happening within those now, there's many more that are going
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: to be coming, and I think we're going to see
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: an onslaught of many chains starting to get a lot
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: more active on agents. Speaking of that, you have Ronan
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: doing that very same thing, and of course this is
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: kind of an interesting situation where they have launched what
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: appears to be a very fast turnaround on getting the
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Ronan partnership. I don't know if I would call it
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: a partnership, but a launch on virtuals for the Jayhaws project.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: So a couple of points. It's ANAI agent inspired one
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: of the founders, so of sky Mavis. If you guys
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: don't know who sky Mavis is and what Ronan is,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: you probably know them from Axieinfinity ACXI Infinity be one
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: of the pretty much the iconic games of the last
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Bull Run, and remember Web three Gaming. I would have
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: to give Axieinfinity the credibility and the cred to say
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: that they were the one that kind of put it
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: on the map. And I think that's where it's going
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: to get interesting because you could compare AI agents now
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: to what was happening in the Web three gaming space
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: in the last run in twenty twenty one, and if
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: you look at what Axieinfinity did at that time, could
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: we see someone or projects come out of this bull
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: run that would have a similar kind of performance. I
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: want to go to this last clip that gets into
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: a little detail around just that.
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: Take a look one of the most interesting things I've
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: ever seen in crypto. It looks like an emerging news sector,
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: the way that DeFi was a new sector, the way
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: the NFTs was a new sector, the way the crypto
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: aiming was a news sector. One of the reasons I
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: think that's more exciting is that it parallels the most
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: dominant theme on planet Earth right now, right, I mean,
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: AI is just this this monolithic theme that is heavily
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: impacting every aspect of our lives and dominating financial markets.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: If you can get one of these agents, or a
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: few of these agents to do something that's actually somewhat noteworthy,
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: then I think that's going to just take the whole
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: sector to do a step change, right. I mean likened
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: that to Axieinfinity, which I'm sure you probably remember, which
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: there is the crypto gaming thing going on and then
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: Axieinfinity had this pretty brief but very significant period of
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: large scale success where you were providing a living wage
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: to thousands of Malaysians by basically farming in this Axie
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: Infinity game and does hilpines Philippines sorry Philippines, right, you know,
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: And that success of actually Infinity just took the whole
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: crypto gaming thing to a big next step. Now it
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: really all collapsed and there wasn't anything really sustainable at
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: all out of all of it, which maybe that end
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: of itself is indicative of how this all this might
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: go and there could be some great investment opportunities out
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: of it, although you know ninety nine point nine nine
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: percent of it is going to collapse and never produce anything,
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: all right.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: I think you know with Travis what he's talking about there.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: I agree with this thesis is that you know, the
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: movement is happening. The difference between the Web three and
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: where we are in the AI ecosystem is you had
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: and have a Web two gaming economy, and I think
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: overall social and cultural component that Web three gaming could
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: never really break through until now we're starting just for
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: the first time to really see a little bit of
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: that primarily because of what we saw with Off the Grid.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: But if you look at AI, it's so new over there.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: It's not a legacy industry like what Web two gaming was.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: So I think maybe AI agents could have a better
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: chance here in this period of time of actually getting
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: into something and as he mentioned, becoming something that would
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: be functional, and once that we see functionality because that remember,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: use case is always going to trump everything because once
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: use case is established, then you have market, and then
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: you have total addressable market of what that might look like.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: So an AI agent could be right there on the
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: forefront of that. So we were watching that sector very closely.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: All right, If you guys are not in the diamond circle,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: make sure and get in right now. It's a great
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: place to get additional content. And we always leave a

  Speaker 1: link down in the description below and let me know
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: what you guys think. Do you think AI agents are
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: the sector that is the new DeFi, the new Web
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: three gaming of this cycle? Let me know, drop your
