Welcome to Bankless, where we explore the frontier of internet money and internet finance.

0:18.5

This is how to get started, how to get better, how to front run the opportunity.

0:23.1

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

0:29.6

Hey David, we're in Corona era now. How are things on your end? Yeah, man, it seems like we're at a

0:36.6

huge turning point in where this world

0:38.8

is about to go. In times of crisis, in times of volatility, the future becomes obscured,

0:45.4

and we're all kind of flying by the seat of our pants. You know, it's taken it one day at a time.

There are three main asset types in the world. One is a commodity

2:02.9

asset. One is a store of value asset. And the last is a capital asset. And these are like the
