| 0:00.0 | Brian a single theme is too narrow for great minds and daring hearts. |
| 0:18.0 | Get ready to enter the Lionheart with your host, Lawrence Dunning. |
| 0:22.3 | Brian, it's so good to have me back. Thank you so much for taking the time. I know every time we talk, |
| 0:26.5 | it upgrades my thinking massively, so I'm so excited for this. Hey, likewise, man, it's always so much |
| 0:31.9 | fun to chat with you, be back on the show. Brian, can we start with just a very high level summary? Most people by now, you know, Bitcoin, crypto, blockchain, they've heard these names, |

| 1:17.4 | 15 years old now. Bitcoin put together a number of different pieces of technology that had |
| 1:24.0 | predated it around that were functionally trying to solve problems of cooperation. |
| 1:29.6 | And at its core, I think that's what really makes the technology valuable. It really just |
| 1:33.9 | enhances our ability to cooperate. And the way that it does that is it allows us to interact with |
| 1:38.4 | each other in a much more peer-to-peer way. So for instance, today, if I wanted to send you money, |
| 1:43.9 | I would have to send it through |
