| 0:09.2 | It's a daily podcast on macro, Bitcoin, and the big picture power shifts remaking our world. |
| 0:14.8 | The breakdown is sponsored by nexo.io, chain aliasis, and FtX, and produced and distributed by CoinDesk. |
| 0:22.8 | What's going on, guys? It is Sunday, July 31st, almost August. And that means it's time for Long |

| 1:55.1 | A vast new market opens up, and an investment and credit boom soon follows. |
| 2:03.3 | Real wealth is created alongside a speculative excess. Banks spring up all over to extend credit to market participants. New financial |
