All right, everyone, welcome back to the Crypto 101 podcast.

I am very excited today because with us is not just another special guest, but a very special host in the crypto conversations that have been going on.

Perhaps the most notorious host of the year, in fact.

But before we get to him, always joined by my good friend Bryce Paul.

Bryce, how you doing over there today?

Hey, man, things are going well.

Obviously, markets are pretty choppy.

So taking, you know, very, very minimal exposure at this time. But spending most of my time

really doing a lot of fundamental analysis and research into some of these new projects. And I've been

spending, admittedly, a lot of my time on Twitter spaces. I've just found myself listening to

Mario more than, more than I expected. In fact, I heard about Mario for the first time this year, kind of came onto the scene, my scene personally, with a splash as he was interviewing Sam Bankman-Fried, interviewed Elon Musk. I mean, the guy's been talking to everybody who's anybody. And I've been very fascinated by the story of Mario.

So I said, hey, let's see if we could talk to the mystery man himself.

So sure enough, you seem like a really nice guy, responded to our emails, and here we are.

So Mario, who's the founder of IBC group in a crypto-oficionado.

Welcome to the,

Yeah, we're excited to dive in.

You have been in the space for quite a while.

By no means are you new around here.
