All right, everybody. Crazy weekend, Crypto 101 podcast, coming in with kind of an impromp to a little episode.

You could probably see by the bags under my eyes and my bloodshot eyes. It's been a busy trading weekend.

In fact, I think we're going to remember this weekend, probably for the rest of our lives.

Luckily for me, I'll always have one memory. It was my

fiance's bachelor's party weekend. And so I was actually home alone this entire weekend. And it was

the best weekend for that to be possible when the entire American banking system basically

collapsed and I was able to be completely locked in.

No, no, no, not throwing any shade or anything, but no distractions.

And it was a monumental weekend. We saw today a one of the largest moves in rates.

We saw Bitcoin as well move back up to 25,000. We saw the USDC stable coin

depeg down to something like 87 cents or something at some point. While, I mean, three or four

crypto banks just got literally a shot, a sawed off shotgun blown to the back of the head sorry but it was a

brutal takedown in a very uh coordinated effort and uh somehow we're still here in bitcoin's a

25k so so pizza mine what do we make of all this um i just finished a podcast recording earlier

with uh air bill caraman from Huma Finance.

And in that podcast, I said the game is rigged.

So while it looks like the American government is completely anti-crypto

and they don't want innovation on their soil, the actual opposite is true. And they're doing everything in their

power to hold their legs around this industry that is just running a million miles an hour. And we

know freaking old people in the government just can't keep up. And they're saying, we don't want

this to get away from us.

We want to be able to participate.
