| 0:00.0 | Yo, yo, welcome to Crypto 101, the average consumer's guide to cryptocurrency. This is Matthew |
| 0:03.7 | Aaron, and I remember when I was a kid. Back in the 80s, my parents bought the Encyclopedia of |
| 0:08.4 | Britannica, the volumes, the glossy paper, the nice pictures, the binding. It was beautiful. And I read |
| 0:13.9 | every single volume, A, B, C, D, EF, G, and so on. Probably cost them over $1,000. |

| 1:17.8 | Tell them about this episode because I know they all had an encyclopedia experience at one point |
