All right, everybody, welcome back to another episode of the Crypto 101 podcast.

I'm particularly excited about this one. We have Stani Kulichov, who is the founder of the AVE and the Lens

Protocol joining us today. We're going to be talking about not only the future of finance and

defy like we always talk about here on the Crypto 101 podcast, but particularly he's got some

unique insights regarding the future of social media networks as well, which we're going to actually

start the conversation with. So before we bring on Stani to kind of give us the inside look here,

let's check in with pizza mind. Aaron, how are you doing? You're in Las Vegas. You're having

more fun than anybody at Money 2020. What's the latest over there?

Are the institutions here?

It was the absolute hardest time I've ever had waking up today from all the fun that I'm having here in Vegas.

And yes, the institutions are here. All of them. If consensus is the biggest crypto event or Bitcoin Miami,

that is 7-11 compared to this event, which would be like a Costco. I've walked over 20,000

steps in this convention center here at the Venetian.

That's more than you walked all year.

It literally. My hips are dead right now. But I still haven't seen everything yet. But what I did talk to are the biggest banks in the world, including the Federal Reserve. I had a conversation with. I talked with Ripple. I talked to everyone that is a huge player in traditional finance. And what I realized is the fence between TradFi and what we're

doing here in Crypto, it's not just knocked down. It's gone. Yeah, there's no fence. And when I got here,

I didn't know if I was going to be laughed out of the building for being part of crypto. But there's

no one laughing at Crypto now. It's here. It's the next big integration. When we started this podcast, we were talking about, what is it going to take to mass adoption?

That narrative is out the window now because it's now adoption in mass.

Yeah, pizza mind.

Behind enemy lines.

I love it.
