0:00.0	So hello, everybody. I am here with Vin Armani, also known as Cyprian, who is a Bitcoin developer,
0:07.6	quite known in the Bitcoin community. He's also recently been received into the Orthodox Church.
0:13.1	And so there's quite a lot to talk about with Cyprian. He's been following my work for a while.
0:18.5	We've been engaging on Twitter. We've also, you know, we planned to talk a bit early before and it just didn't work out.
0:24.1	So this is actually a good time since he has been receiving to the church to figure out what is the connection between Bitcoin and his journey into the church and all the things that he's discovering.

1:43.6	he said, dad, I really like to
1:45.9	start investing in these cryptos. And I thought, okay, you're 16. He wanted to put almost
