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

1:22.1	in their life. And I also want to say thank you to the patrons. Patrians, thank you very much
1:25.7	for supporting Crypto 101 for the last year or so.
