0:00.0	All right, everybody, welcome back to another episode of the Crypto 101 podcast.
0:14.8	I am your host, Bryce Paul, and I am unfortunately not joined by my notorious compadre, Mr. Aaron, Pizza Mind Malone.
0:24.7	So Aaron, if you're out there listening somewhere in the ether, you're missing out on a great
0:31.2	one because we're joined by some legends of the Cryptosphere, an awesome duo, an awesome group of guys.
0:41.3	And basically, we're joined by two legends in the space, Adam Beck, who is the co-founder
0:49.1	and CEO of a little company, I know, a large company called Blockstream, as well as Arnob

1:01.5	So Adam, welcome, Arnob, welcome.
1:04.0	Glad to be here.

1:46.2	currency, the first thing, which is not controlled by a central government. And the third thing
1:52.5	is it's a P2P cash instrument, right? I'm coming from India's countries like India, which is
1:59.8	kind of, I would say, the country,
2:02.5	India, you have this high inflation fear always.
2:05.8	You have a currency that is also losing its value constantly.
2:09.6	I think on the other side, you have the aspect of gold because India is a country where
2:15.5	culturally cold is considered to be one of the safest asset.
2:18.7	So I understand there is always a lookout for an alternative asset and Bitcoin rightly fits in at that point of time.
