Mr. Alex Gladstein joins the program.

0:18.4

For the first time in a long time, you can just have the floor right now,

0:22.5

because I believe the first time we ever did a show, I want to say the price of one Bitcoin

0:28.7

was about $1,700 U.S. dollars denomination. So it's been a long journey from point A to where I don't even know what the price is today. I assume it's been it's been a long journey from from point A to where we I don't even

0:38.4

know what the price is today. I assume it's pretty high. Yeah man. It's been it's been a long

0:44.5

journey, a beautiful journey and really still quite early. Yeah. I think the first time we've

1:58.1

whole distance because it would be so humiliating to,

2:01.1

to take them off beforehand. But I had 100K, got to take the laser eyes off a few months

2:06.8

ago. Just been much more comfortable ever since.

2:11.5

The laser eyes, what an interesting movement. There's been honestly sort of mirroring

2:16.6

Western political movement where these inside of

2:22.1

the community of Bitcoin, we have these hyper-fractionalized parties that believe different things,
