0:00.0	All right, everybody, welcome back to the Crypto 101 podcast. I'm your co-host, Bryce Paul.
0:14.6	As always, joined by my good Floridian homie, Mr. Brendan Veman. How are you doing? Are you dodging some of that crazy weather?
0:22.7	Bryce, I am dodging some of the crazy weather. It was snowing. We were talking about this before this.
0:28.2	It was snowing in Florida all over Florida this week. And, you know, we're kind of continuing that
0:33.0	theme because at the time of recording this, there's all sorts of crazy storms happening in the market.
0:38.5	But I'll tell you what, the crypto market isn't too concerned about this stuff.
0:42.3	When we look back a year from now, five years from now, we're going to forgot that this have even happened.
0:47.3	So I'm doing great. I'm surviving.

1:27.0	construed as investment advice.
1:28.6	And so kind of with that being understood and with us having a lot to discuss today,
1:33.3	we're going to bring on our super spectacular guest today. Andy Bear, like the market.
1:39.0	Andy Bear, who's the head of product and research from Coin Desk Indices making a big statement here in the industry.
1:46.5	Andy Baer, how are you doing today?
1:48.1	I'm great. It's a great day to be talking to you both. It's not one of these slow news days in the industry or in the market.
