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.

1:21.6

says is any representation of anything other than just their opinion. And it's certainly not to be

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
