| 0:00.0 | All right, everybody, welcome back to the Crypto 101 podcast presented by Gemini, your bridge to the future of money. |
| 0:15.8 | It is a rundown on a Wednesday, and it is action packed. We've got a lot of bullish sentiment. The institutions |
| 0:22.7 | are revealing their crypto holdings. You're going to want to see that. There's a Clarity Act |
| 0:26.9 | update. We actually have alt coin news. Some alt coins are buzzing. They're making some noise. |
| 0:32.0 | We'll let you know about that. Kind of our main platter of discussion. There's a couple of your |
| 0:36.6 | folks. I think we're going to go along. |
| 0:54.6 | We got a Mr. Beast update. We've got a Mr. Beast update. It's like a YouTube title. Mr. Beast, it's like, let's buy a bank would be the title of this YouTube video. Mr. Beast buys a bank. We talked about it a couple weeks ago and said, hey, Mr. Beast, bit mine, Mr. Beast, Eth, Mr. Beast. |
| 0:55.3 | Like literally, again, if you Beast, bit mine, Mr. Beast, Eith, Mr. Beast. Like, |
| 1:02.2 | literally, again, if you're somebody that's not into YouTube, Mr. Beast is, has a platform that you could say has maybe the most eyeballs on the planet. And he's kind of starting to diversify his |
| 1:08.9 | portfolio to say the least. So that's going to be a great conversation. I'm super excited about that. We have Brian with us. So you know we're going to be touching on some meme coins. We have a huge Pudgy Penguins update. That looks really fun. And then we're going to cover some Super Bowl stuff at the end that actually involved the crypto space. The prediction markets, Brian is with us. He was the first one on our team to literally call a prediction market super cycle. He could not have been more right. And then there was a little drama over the Coinbase ad. So I'd like to break that down as a creative director myself. It's going to be a super fun episode. We are live on YouTube. There's a ton of us in here. We've got fits. I know Grant's going to be showing up, |
| 1:46.1 | maybe Camo. If you're with us, let us know where you're coming in from. Give us a like. And if |
| 1:51.4 | you're new on the bottom right, hit the subscribe. We really appreciate everybody being here. |
| 1:56.7 | But Brian, welcome. How are you feeling this Wednesday? And, uh, you know, welcome back to the show. |
| 2:02.6 | Hey, man. Thanks for having me. The light's still on. I love to say it, especially when we're seeing a little |
| 2:07.6 | bit of a red market. But, uh, you know, it's, it's gross out there in the streets. And I get that |
| 2:14.4 | for everybody because we're financially involved in crypto. You and I work |
| 2:18.6 | in the crypto industry. So obviously, if you even just, I enjoy talking crypto just on a social |
| 2:26.3 | level. And if I bring it up to anybody now, they kind of like roll their eyes to me. But I'm still, |
| 2:32.2 | I'm still quite bullish, man. I get everyone's takes in, |
| 2:37.2 | and everyone's like kind of scratching the heads, why the price is going down. And we're going to, |
| 2:40.7 | we're going to dive into it and kind of try to make some sense. I think the team did a great |
| 2:45.0 | job on Friday with that rundown, breaking down exactly what's going on. But we're going to, |
