| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Bankless, where we explore the front-year internet money and internet finance. |
| 0:18.6 | This is how to get started, how to get better, and how to front-run the opportunity. |
| 0:23.5 | This is Ryan Sean Adams, I'm here with David Hoffman, and we're here to help you become |

| 0:29.8 | David Wall Street meets DeFi. |
