| 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. |
| 0:16.2 | The breakdown is sponsored by Nidig and produced and distributed by CoinDesk. |
| 0:22.9 | What's going on, guys? It is Wednesday, November 17th, and over the last few weeks, I've had a few |
| 0:28.8 | people kind of note that there has been a lot of U.S.-centric focus on the breakdown lately, |

| 1:24.9 | And as always, if you have ideas for places or specific things |
| 1:29.3 | that are local but still really important for other people to know about, hit me up on Twitter |
| 1:33.8 | at NLW, join the Discord. The Discord has been growing recently and is a really good place for |
| 1:38.8 | these types of conversations. But with that, let's dig in and let's start with India. |
