| 0:00.0 | Cryptocurrency. Take it away, Patrick. |
| 0:18.9 | I have a not so fun topic. Well, I guess it's interesting, |
| 0:23.4 | but I want to talk a little. I was mentioning to Jason sort of consumerism, this idea that, |
| 0:31.1 | I mean, it means lots of things, but to me, just the fact that you tend to want to buy things |
| 0:35.9 | which don't last, and then you have to like kind of |
| 0:38.0 | keep buying for various reasons and being in the in the tech industry I think this hits a lot that |
| 0:43.9 | we keep hearing about the new phones that come out every month every week out and it seems like |
| 0:49.0 | all the time and it's always ooh now my phone is outdated I could buy this one that's a little bit |
