| 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. |
| 0:14.8 | 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 Tuesday, September 20th, and today is weirdly an archetypically |
| 0:28.5 | typical standard day in bare market crypto. Before we explore why that is, however, if you're |
| 0:34.8 | enjoying the breakdown, please go subscribe to it, give it a rating, |
| 0:37.8 | give it a review, or if you want to dive deeper into the conversation, come join us on the |
| 0:41.7 | breakers discord. You can find a link in the show notes or go to bit.ly slash breakdown pod. |
| 0:46.7 | Also, a disclosure, as always, in addition to them being a sponsor of the show, I also work with |

| 1:17.3 | the average rate a year ago. That's the largest change on record with data going back to 1975. |
| 1:22.9 | We've also got high-flying companies in the housing space falling prey to the sort of high-growth, |
| 1:28.1 | no-profitability tech models that characterize the last decade of venture-backed companies. |
| 1:33.0 | We've also got inventory issues, supply issues, and all of the things that make housing |
| 1:37.8 | such a fascinating microcosm of the moment of transition we're living through more broadly. |
| 1:42.9 | So I will definitely be doing that show later this week. |
| 1:45.6 | But as I was reviewing the crypto news this morning, |
