| 0:00.0 | Crypto is not a partisan issue. It is a nonpartisan issue. This is not about Republicans and Democrats. |
| 0:07.0 | This is about 21st century finance and finances for everybody. |
| 0:16.0 | Welcome to the policy protocol, a brand new show from CoinDus that gives you a bite-sized |
| 0:22.3 | overview of all the happenings in crypto law and policy from the past week. This is your espresso |
| 0:28.1 | shot of everything you need to know to be in the know. I'm Rebecca Reddigg, and I'm here with my |
| 0:33.7 | co-host, Renato Marriatti. How are you, Renato? I'm doing great. What have you been |
| 0:40.6 | thinking about this week from the policy perspective? I got to say, Rebecca, it just seems to me |
