0:00.0	Okay, we're going to talk about Russia and Ukraine in just a second, but first this is kind of
0:04.0	coincidental, kind of funny that yesterday we were talking about modern monetary theory and
0:08.2	cryptocurrency and today this was literally the headline. The headline is the United Kingdom
0:14.1	is actually proving my point. So when we were talking about cryptocurrency yesterday, I was saying
0:17.6	obviously governments like the United States government, especially under the Biden administration,
0:21.2	don't like cryptocurrency because it gives people an alternative currency that's not issued by the

1:40.4	funny because we discussed this in a hypothetical sense yesterday and then today we're seeing it
