| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to The Breakdown with me, NLW. |
| 0:09.2 | It's a daily podcast on macro, Bitcoin, and the big picture power shifts remaking our world. |
| 0:14.9 | The breakdown is sponsored by nexo.io, Abra, and FTX, and produced and distributed by CoinDesk. |
| 0:22.6 | What's going on, guys? It is Sunday, January 30th, and that means it's time for Long |
| 0:28.5 | Reads Sunday. And today we're doing something a little bit different. Instead of reading an |
| 0:33.9 | op-ed or even a couple of Twitter threads, I'm going to go through the latest report |
| 0:39.2 | from Arc Invest. This is their annual Big Ideas report, and so what we're going to do today is the |
| 0:45.0 | big numbers from the Big Ideas Report. Before we get into that, though, if you are enjoying the |
| 0:49.9 | breakdown, please go subscribe to it, give it five stars, leave a review, or join the Discord. |
| 0:56.2 | The Breakers Discord is where I discuss everything going on with the show or in markets or what's |
| 1:01.1 | new in news and have a ton of awesome people to have that conversation with. |
| 1:05.7 | You can find a link in the show notes or you can go to bit.ly slash breakdown pod. |
| 1:11.4 | Finally, a quick disclosure. In addition to them being a sponsor, I also work with FtX. |
| 1:17.2 | Now, Ark's Big Ideas Report. As you guys probably know, I've had Kathy Wood from Ark on the show |
| 1:23.5 | a couple times. I've called her the world's best innovation investor. Kathy was one of, if not the |
| 1:28.7 | earliest, died in the wool wall streeter who came to Bitcoin. She has been a long-term Tesla |
| 1:34.0 | Bull, and she's the type of person that has conviction even when the markets think that she's |
| 1:39.0 | wrong. What's more, she's investing on a long horizon timeline. So although the rise in inflation and the |
| 1:46.4 | corresponding shift in the Fed's tone has hurt ARC's performance, she is not changing her tune on the |
| 1:52.4 | long term for innovation. So what I'm going to do is go through and grab some of the key highlights |
| 1:57.8 | from this report, especially around blockchain, crypto, Bitcoin, |
| 2:01.1 | et cetera. Now, I've heard from a bunch of you that you don't always love having a ton of stats |
