| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Crypto 101 podcast presented by Gemini, your bridge to the future of money. |
| 0:10.4 | All right, everybody, welcome back to another episode of the Crypto 101 podcast. I'm your co-host, |
| 0:20.5 | Bryce, as always, joined by my good |
| 0:22.5 | buddy Brendan from across the country. Sir, how are you doing? I'm doing good. I'm doing good. |
| 0:28.2 | You know, at the time we're recording this, we're getting some nice volatility back into the market. |
| 0:32.9 | And we're enjoying it. But man, I am so excited as well. And we're joined particularly by an exciting guest, somebody who's a markets expert, as well as a builder in the space. Satraj Brahmra, the CEO of Rails. Satra, thank you so much for joining us. And how are you doing today? |
