0:00.0 | Welcome back to another Crypto Daily 3 at 3. |
0:05.0 | So today we have a little bit of a special edition as well. |
0:08.0 | For the last two days, I think really since Sunday night, |
0:11.0 | pretty much the whole crypto community has been talking about China, |
0:15.0 | Stonks, and BTC. |

1:23.7 | since 2008. |
1:26.3 | And that obviously triggered response too. So we can see over here, |
1:31.9 | Arbbed out, I don't know what we're yelling about. Again, this is my point is that this was all |
1:35.7 | everyone was talking about yesterday. Then never mind, figured it out, Treasury designates China |
