Summary
Andrew Yang is a former Presidential and Mayoral candidate, entrepreneur, and founder of the new Forward Party. Seeking ways to push our democracy into the future, Andrew has championed novel ideas to improve the deep intrinsic problems of the current two-party system.
We see aligned interests between the Forward Party and the crypto community, and Andrew says during the episode that the Forward party IS the Crypto party. Re-establishing legitimacy to our institutions, evolving our governance system, and upgrading our economic protocols are shared interests of Andrew Yang and the Bankless Nation. We are stoked to have Andrew on the podcast, so dive in for a fascinating discussion of what's wrong with our current system and what we can do to fix it.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Bankless, where we explore the frontier of internet money and internet finance. |
| 0:12.6 | This is how to get started, how to get better, and how to front run the opportunity. |
| 0:16.6 | I'm Ryan Chan Adams. |
| 0:17.6 | I'm here with David Hoffman, and we're here to help you become more bankless. |
| 0:22.4 | David Andrew Yang on the podcast. |
| 0:25.4 | Can't believe it, man. |
| 0:26.9 | An epic podcast that was what were some of your favorite parts? |
| 0:31.7 | Well, he just came out and said it. |

| 1:22.9 | Yeah, I don't think so either. |
| 1:24.1 | And it's definitely not going to be the last of Andrew Yang's conversation about crypto. |
