0:00.0	What's going on, guys? Today we've got an excellent episode with Bill Barheight. He's the founder and CEO of Abra.
0:04.7	Abra is a RIA that is specifically focused on helping high net worth individuals do things with their
0:10.4	crypto, store it, borrow against it, earn yield, etc. It's all financial services that you get in the
0:15.0	traditional world, but now you can get it inside of Bitcoin andrencies. In this conversation, we talk about a lot, including what's going on in the macro environment, tariffs, Bitcoin, Bitcoin all-time high, what's going

1:07.6	Is that what you are thinking?
1:08.5	Yeah, I think people in the know kind of accept that it is. And I think the gyrations day to day may be partially news driven, but the macro
1:17.4	direction, meaning if you zoom out, the more, the further out you zoom, right, the more it looks
1:24.0	like it's a liquidity suck, right? With gyrations hour to hour that might be
1:29.0	semi-news-driven, like this morning, we had the tariff announcement, you know, Europe needs to move
