David and I are about to go through the biggest moments of 2022 in crypto.

0:21.5

David, I am very much looking forward to this episode because look, this is a chance

0:26.0

to review the year that was, this year of craziness, this year of corruption, this year

0:32.4

of scams, this year of the highest highs, and incredibly low lows. And it felt like

0:39.2

an entire like a blur to me, even know what months of the year, what happened. And so this

0:43.3

is a good way to calibrate. It's also for me personally, David, I just want to be done

0:48.1

with 2022. Like, can we move on? Can we wipe the slate clean? Can we start again?
