0:00.0	All right, everyone, welcome back to the Crypto 101 rundown presented by Gemini, your bridge to the future of money.
0:17.4	Man, we're coming in hot here.
0:19.5	December is coming to a close. It's almost the end of the year, and there's still a lot to talk about.
0:25.3	But just real quick, before we begin, this year has been a wild one, and we've seen a lot of comments and questions and concerns and excitement, and we've seen all the different emotions over the course of this year.
0:35.5	But as we're beginning to come to a close, we're looking back and saying, number one, this year's flown by. But number two, it's been a roller coaster. I mean, we started the year off with Bitcoin hitting new all-time highs. Most cryptos hitting new all-time highs. And then we had the tariff crash, the first Black Swan event. Then we came in and we rallied off those. Bitcoin hit new all-time
0:54.8	highs afterwards. And then we saw the largest liquidation event ever in crypto history. And then we
1:00.8	came back down and that's what we're kind of in now. But we've been at this unique point where we
1:05.4	are at the highs. Then we saw a Black Swan. And we went back to the highs, then another Black Swan.
1:09.8	And then we're going back and forth and back and forth.
1:12.3	However, despite all of that, what we've seen is so much growth.
1:17.7	I'm talking about growth from the technicals, the fundamentals, the on-chain data, adoption,
1:23.2	you name it.
1:24.1	There has been so much happening in the background.
1:28.7	And that's one of our favorite reasons about why we do the rundown in the first place is that we love to just go, get all
1:34.8	of the data from the technicals on the charts to the fundamentals in the news, gather it all,
1:39.9	and bring it to you all completely for free and under an hour's time. So if you do like it,
1:45.3	we have a lot to talk about in today's episode, but if you do like it, hit the like and
1:49.4	subscribe button. If you are on one of these other platforms like Apple podcast or Spotify or
