| 0:00.0 | What is up, Freaksitja Boy, Marty? But here to introduce this episode of Tales from the Cript |
| 0:03.6 | at the Inmen's Pleasure of Sitting Now with Ovik Roy, the president of the Foundation for Research |
| 0:08.1 | on Equal Opportunity. In November of last year, he wrote a piece, Bitcoin in the looming U.S. |
| 0:15.6 | fiscal disaster. And it was a really good piece. One of the best pieces on Bitcoin and U.S. federal government policy, I believe, that has been written to date in the first 13 years of Bitcoin's existence. |
| 0:29.6 | Happy day after Genesis Block Day Freaks. I don't know. It's the birthday. I'm just going to say Genesis Block Day. Yes, it was officially mine on January 8th, whatever. Like, you just stamped it and the network started January. Who cares? January 3rd, Genesis Block. Okay. Back to the interview. Incredible interview. We get really into it. I think this is the type of level-headed representative for Bitcoin or somebody advocating for Bitcoin on Capitol Hill, whether you like the fact that people are advocating for against Bitcoin on Capitol Hill, whether you think it's inconsequential, whether |
| 1:12.6 | you think it's going to only harm Bitcoin in the long run. I think you definitely need |

| 1:46.2 | Let me know what you think. |
| 1:47.6 | This trip was brought to you by our good friends at the motherfucking cash up. |
| 1:54.0 | Cashups here to help you stack, sats, send sats, receive sats, and sell sats, if you so |
| 1:57.3 | please. |
| 1:58.1 | We're saying sats, sats, sat, sat, sat, sets. |
| 1:59.5 | Because sats are the standards, 100 million SATs and one whole Bitcoin. |
| 2:02.5 | If you're out there, you're thinking, oh, I need to buy a whole Bitcoin. |
| 2:04.4 | You don't have to buy Bitcoin. |
