Hey, it's Brian Rose from London Real and the Crypto and DeFi Academy.

I just wanted to shoot a quick video here and talk about the markets and mindset and

how we're all feeling and the way that we can look forward and keep moving forward.

I just got off a call with my students here and they were all asking me questions

about the future of what's going on in cryptocurrency and decentralized finance

and the markets and metaverse and NFTs and all that.

I was really given a chance to remind them that what we're involved here in here is something

that's much bigger than changes in daily price.

This is something that fundamentally changes who we are as humans.

This is something that I believe is intrinsically linked to our own freedoms.

Again, we spent an entire year in 2020 fighting for freedom of speech going head to head against

trillion-dollar technology companies in order to give people different points of view and give people

the right to speak and to have that free choice.

Also, you're free choice to listen to people.

We spent a lot of time putting out lots of information,

even fighting for free and fair elections.

I think this freedom component is a super important part of what Bitcoin is

and what a lot of these cryptocurrency protocols because if you can't have the freedom

to hold your own value and hold your own currencies and hold your own digital property,

then it's very hard to actually have those components of freedom of speech.

When those are all tied up in central banks and governments that control financial institutions

and regulate and tell you what to do, it doesn't just take away your money.
