This is Ryan Sean Adams. I'm here with David Hoffman, and we're here to help you become more

0:28.4

bankless. David, we've got a really exciting guest. This is going to be a fantastic podcast and it may be our most timely podcast yet. Can you tell us about it?

0:37.4

Yeah, Dan Ellitzer, a personal hero of mine in the Defy Space,

0:41.6

deemed me the other day, and he said,

0:44.3

I've got a lot of stuff on my mind
